If your friends are anything like you, they probably like to pamper themselves. Make them a body wash or lotion in their favorite (essential oils) scent. You can even customize

the bottle it comes in with their name, favorite quote or lyric from a song. How can they not find you to be the best friend ever with an idea

like that?! Click here and here for recipes. Go to a local arts and crafts store for the bottles. Click here for how to

customize labels (in Word).

Didn’t know you could make nail polish from home? You sure can. All you need is some clear polish, some eye shadow (and/or glitter from the same arts and crafts

place) and you’re all set! Create the polish and give it a name that speaks to how you feel about your friend. For instance, you can call one color “Loyal” and

another “Funny”. They’ll think of you every time they put it on! (Click here for homemade polish-making tips.)

This is one of our favorites! There is something really sweet and sentimental about handwriting letters. Especially these days when so much happens online. Write something you love or appreciate

about them or something that they’ve done to help you to become a better person. Sign it and also frame it. Don’t hand deliver it. Mail it instead. Think of

how surprised they’ll be to get such a precious gift.

This is a tried-and-true idea that never (EVER) gets old! Bake them their favorite dessert, but add a twist to it. Say that you make them some cookies or brownies.

On each one, put a word that describes their personality on it. Too cute and not something they’ll see every day! Need some easy-to-make recipes? Click here.

Everyone likes to own something customized. Whether it’s a T-shirt, night shirt or a piece of jewelry, find a friendship quote or maybe the amount of years you’ve been friends

and put it on there. Etsy is the perfect place to do any of these things.

Some people like to collect things. Others? Memories. If you know your friends are big on quality time, plan a day where it’s all about them. Their favorite restaurant, favorite kind

of movie, or going to their favorite park and just talking. It’s something they will remember you do for years to come. And those are the best kinds of gifts.
