Unique Best Friend Gifts

I remember as we climbed the green trees in our neighborhood and went gamboling around the park, I remember the time when we bruised our knees as we fell off the bicycles… I remember the times when we stayed up late before the exams and spent half of the time talking about anything but studies…I remember the time you went through your first heartbreak, the way you cried near the dumpster behind school… I remember when we sold lemonade on the street and refused to give back the change to people who gave us ten-dollar bills…I remember being chased down the streets by the irritating boys after you punched one of them…I remember our silly secrets and sessions of endless giggles and laughter… I remember the day when you relocated to a new city…I remember the way I got mad at you when you took ages to reply to my mails…I remember the day you sent me a gift for my birthday enclosed with the dried autumn leaves that we picked up and preserved when we were kids…I remember talking to you on the phone for hours and yelling at you for not being in touch even though we spoke almost every weekend…But today as I meet you again…it feels like it was just yesterday when we played around the trees and walked back home with wounded knees, and roars of laughter, and the time you put your arm on my shoulder and told me that we were best friends!

Best friends are truly special people who completely understand us and yet love us for who we are. Friends are an inseparable part of our lives. I don’t know what I’d be doing without my friends. My best friends who have stood by me when I needed support, put a smile on my face when tears rolled down my cheeks and encouraged me to keep going at a time when I had lost the will to move ahead. My best friends are a bunch of truly special people who have made life worthwhile for me.

Special occasions like birthdays, graduation party, or even the friendship day are all opportunities for us to let our best friends know how much they mean to us. Most of the times we buy our friends something that we are sure that they will love and enjoy, since we know them completely. However at times it is a great idea to think of unique best friend gifts that are one of a kind. Here are a few ideas for unique best friend gifts.

Unique Best Friend Gift - Story Book

Well, you need to be really creative to pull off this one! Here’s the deal, the idea is as simple as the name, it is a storybook that describes your journey together. Start from the first time you met, and keep on adding all the memories to it. Funny incidents, your worst fights, birthdays and all other good and bad memories, include all the things that you think are necessary to build a complete story. If possible get the book printed in a classic font on an antique style golden rimmed paper and get a hard binding done to make it seen like a classic hardback. Add interesting quotations and your best friend’s favorite songs to make the book seem more interesting.

Unique Best Friend Gift - Personalized Movie

Well you can use this idea if you have a huge collection of your videos, and a basic knowledge of video editing. Videos taken at birthdays, trips, college parties and so on, can be combined to make a beautiful movie. Use a basic video editing software to merge the videos, add text to the visuals, and enhance the video with some beautiful special effects. Add amazing background music, even some of your favorite songs to make the video really special. Do a voice over and say everything that you want to tell your best friend. You can even print a CD/DVD cover with a beautiful photograph and give a special name to the movie.

Unique Best friend Gifts - Personalized Gifts

If you are looking for a unique best friend gift for your best gal pal, then the options are plenty. If you are planning for something really extravagant, then a studded pendant with her initials can put a smile on her face for sure. However remember that personalized jewelry like pendants, bracelets, and earrings can be a great idea only if she is fond of jewelry, if not think of other options. As for guys an ear stud or a bracelet can be a great idea, if the guy has a liking for it. If your best friend is into sports give her/him personalized sportswear and sports gear like personalized Nike shoes or personalized Nike rackets, bats, and so on. Personalized keepsake boxes, photo frames, collages, or even scrapbooks can be other unique best friend gift ideas.
