7 symbolic and original gifts to offer to celebrate friendship
Who said that you always need a special occasion to spoil your friends? To show them how much they mean to you, and that, despite the years that pass, the distance or a busy daily life, you still have a thought for them, offering them a small present would be an original way to show them that you really care about them. And, if you are short of ideas, here are some great gift ideas, to bring a smile (or even a tear to the eye) to your best friends!
Allo Ciné – illustration photo – Six friends, 236 episodes. Friends, a legendary series that we don’t hesitate to watch again and again. A true ode to friendship, which makes us want to cherish the brothers and sisters of the heart who are by our side.
They are sometimes few in number, but oh so generous. Always there for us, they accompany us in the good and bad times of our lives. Their presence soothes us, they amuse us and we love them with all our heart, despite their little faults. Did you know that 96% of French people believe that friendship is important for their pleasure and personal balance ? The ultimate proof that they occupy an important place in our daily lives, and that, without them, our lives would certainly be less exciting.
Friendship is so precious that it even has its own day, which is held on July 30th. It is then the occasion to get together, celebrate together and offer each other gifts. But if you do not want to wait until then (after all, there is no date to celebrate friendship), and are looking to thank – in an original way – your friends for being there by your side, there are a multitude of symbolic gifts, to show them how much you love them.
1. An unbreakable friendship bracelet
Yes, yes. You read that right: an unbreakable friendship jewel. Very trendy, this type of bracelet welded to the wrist is intended to last through the seasons, even the years, without the risk of being lost or forgotten. A concept that allows you to consume less but better, by focusing on a piece made from a material that does not rust, and therefore does not risk being damaged in a few weeks … A bit like your beautiful friendship!
This gift, very popular on social networks at the moment, turns out to be rather well thought out, when we want to show someone that he/she matters to us. And this, permanently. Of course, rest assured: it can be broken with pliers, or by going directly to a jeweler, if necessary.
2. A heart necklace
The heart necklace, another ultimate symbol of friendship jewelry that reminds us of childhood memories. Broken in two, to share with the person of our choice, or full, to buy in two similar copies … This is a highly symbolic gift, since each will possess half of the other’s heart.
3. A souvenir photo album
What if you compiled some of your most beautiful memories in a photo album? The handmade evocations of your friendship are, it seems, those that leave the most lasting impression. So, grab your scissors, markers, hole punches and glue to create a fully personalized album , through which your best friend will remember the unforgettable moments you have experienced together.
4.An engraved or custom-made perfume
Whether you’re looking for something new or a classic, perfume remains an excellent gift idea. Its scent embodies refinement, delicacy and voluptuousness. And just like wedding ring engravings , you can also do the same on a bottle to give as a gift, by writing the initials of your friend’s first name, for example.
Note that sites like Myfragrance also offer to create your own perfume online , by choosing the different notes from a list of suggestions.
