If you are lucky with a girlfriend, and she turned out to be a person who understands you better than others and has become, perhaps, closer to you than a sister, rejoice and appreciate this friendship. Undoubtedly, most women and girls value their girlfriend and on her birthday they want to present something non-trivial and original. Therefore, they begin to search for a gift many months before presenting a present. This is the only way to find very interesting and inexpensive birthday gifts for a friend.
Cheap doesn't mean bad
Before we start reviewing gift ideas, let's make one digression and remember that the words "inexpensive" and "cheap", however, like "budget" are very approximate concepts. All people are different and everyone has their own financial capabilities and ideas about cheapness and high cost. Introducing birthday gift ideas for a friend.
Original orcorny
We will try to choose the most budget options. Consider unusual presents and quite commonplace. The word "banal", however, we use not to offend and underestimate the value of inexpensive gifts for a friend's birthday. The fact is that many people are happy with very common presentation options. It happens that a person is looking for something unusual, and then it turns out that a friend longed for a very ordinary gift on her day.
Besides, inexpensive birthday gifts for a friend still have some value for you and for her. Suppose, if you yourself are not yet working due to your rather young age, the gift, of course, will not be very expensive.
Hints and revelations
Well, let's start a selection of ideas for presents. The easiest way to make the hero of the occasion happy is to ask her what she would like to see in the cherished box, bundle or other package on her birthday. When she opens her heart to you and shares certain “wishlists”, you can immediately start looking for an inexpensive birthday present for a friend. It is unlikely that a friend will order you something incommensurable in price with your financial capabilities.
However, there is a possibility that the girlfriend will not directly tell about her wishes. In this case, you need to be more attentive to her words during the year (or at least the months closest to the day of the celebration) - she will definitely let you know thatwhat he wants to get. During your joint shopping trips, keep an eye on her. Seeing the desired thing, the girlfriend will be delighted with how interesting and original it was invented and how she would like to buy now, but, alas, it’s not fate, financial difficulties or other reasons. In this case, you just need to come back later and buy a future present for the holiday.
Some (not many, but still there are such young ladies) keep the so-called "Wish Album" in social networks. This is a kind of hint for others, revealing, as if by chance, what a person wants to have in his use and what he likes. Do not be lazy, "wander" on the page of your girlfriend and look at the albums, perhaps she belongs to this type of people. And thanks to this trick, you can get an inexpensive gift for your girlfriend's birthday.
Useful, original and not so good
Some of these ideas can be real gifts, and some you can add to the main gift. Focus on your situation, age and some of the nuances known only to you. The marital status, hobbies and age of the hero of the occasion will help with birthday gift ideas for a friend:
- For a lover of social events, a ticket to any event will be a good present. It is better to give two tickets - so a friend can visit an exhibition, theater or concert with someone in a pair.
- Gift certificate. This is an interesting and widespread idea supported by many people. Having received a certificate fora certain amount, the girlfriend will be able to buy herself what she wants. There will be no errors with size, shade and other details. Certificates are offered in many cosmetic and perfume stores, beauty salons, and clothing stores. In general, look around, and you will definitely meet certificates not only in the above directions.
- Inexpensive and useful gift - an external battery for charging your smartphone and other gadgets.
- You can give your friend inexpensive accessories and items for her favorite pastime for her birthday. A hobby is an activity for the soul, and an additional accessory or something related to a hobby will never be superfluous for a person who has a passion for any activity.
- If a girlfriend loves games, but not computer, real, board games, then make her happy and give her checkers, chess, Monopoly, etc. as a gift
20, 23 and up
What would be a birthday present for a 20 year old friend? If she is single and most likely a student, present an interesting notebook. Now a great variety of different original designs. It is possible that some can be a nice birthday present for a friend.
Book - for connoisseurs
Tablet stand, e-book, sports bracelet watch, counting steps and calories - can also be a gift. By the way, if a girlfriend (not only 20 years old, but of any age) likes to indulge in reading real paper books, make her happy. The book is a true gift. Not everyone likes electronicgadgets. Many want to inhale the aroma of a new book, and experience pleasant tactile sensations, touching its rustling pages. In addition, a paper book is just what to give a friend for her birthday inexpensively and memorable. You can choose a gift for a bibliophile based on your financial capabilities and, of course, on her preferences. If you know a favorite author's last name or a certain series of books your friend would like to own, buy them for her.
For household goods
But what can be presented to a married twenty-year-old (and a little older) young lady: a set of dishes. Only first you should make sure that "she needs it," as they say. Naturally, you should not collect terrible trash that you yourself would not really like to have. A beautiful tea pair or an original cake stand is something that is inexpensive to give to a girlfriend for her birthday and is useful for her family and life. The hostess will be happy with a set of beautiful plates, a good frying pan and other household items. Just do not forget to put something else into such a present: a box of chocolates or a medal for "Best Friend", or another nice little thing.
For those who crave aesthetics
An original inexpensive gift for a friend's birthday can be elements of room decor: candlesticks (with and without candles), an aromatic diffuser, an interesting night lamp. You can turn your eyes to the paintings or take a walk "accidentally" in such a store with paintings, in order to, noticing which of them the future liked best.birthday girl, come back and purchase it. I must say that such things for the interior have a very large price range.
Cheap and ugly
Don't buy frankly cheap birthday gifts for your girlfriend. Bedding sets that fade and shrink after the first encounter with the washing machine, Chinese slippers, scary figurines, as well as no less scary and tasteless photo frames - all this will not bring her joy. Of course, all of the above items can be given as gifts, but you should be very picky about their quality and design. Many, for example, do not want to receive a vase as a gift, but again, vase vase is different, and some older girls and ladies want to have several of these stylish vases in the interior. This can happen to any item.
Do-it-yourself gift: is it worth it?
Handmade homemade birthday gifts for a friend should be presented only if your skill level is really high. And even in this situation, it would be nice to know her attitude to your work. Perhaps for her it has absolutely no value and does not interest her the way you do. Of course, if you see a sincere interest and desire of a girlfriend to have something from what you create with your own hands, then give it.
Most people do not like handmade gifts and are not very happy with them. And, by the way, the question of the price of such a gift is very ambiguous. Suppose you are embroidering and want to give your friend a pictureembroidered with a cross. So, the price of only one set with a decent plot varies from four hundred rubles and more. An example is a very budget set. Add your time to this (a 25 by 30 design with a full stitching will take about three months to embroider if you get down to business with perseverance). Such a gift is your personal time, he alth (sit in one position for several hours and read the diagram) and the time of your family. At the next stage, consider the cost of decorating a finished masterpiece in a special framing workshop (far from free). And after all this, you proudly present a gift made by yourself, in which you have invested a lot of things, in addition to budgetary funds. The friend takes it and, with a forced smile, thanks you. A month later, you see your "masterpiece" hanging in a corner somewhere in the country. Be aware of the possible development of events according to this scheme and make gifts only when you are very much asked about it and respect the work you are doing.
Maybe the inexpensive gift ideas in this article will let your imagination run wild and add your own thoughts.
