Hi there people, this year i'll buy some presents for my friends, but nothing expensive, i prefere to buy something with a special meaning, maybe something that will remember them the occasion when we met, or something special that we've made togheter. And what about you? what kind of gifts do you buy for your friends? thank you for your responses :)

I do not as a general rule buy expensive presents, but I try to get them something useful. Sometimes I "re-gift" too by passing along something I cannot use that somebody else has given me.

before when i still have my allowance, i would save some of it for christmas. i usually give them what they want to receive if it would not go beyond my budget. because i already know their personalities, i would give them the things i know they appreciate and used. it is best to give presents that would last and that thwy can used it in their daily activities. i like to give presents that i know they would really love.

When I was in High school (many moons ago...lol) I would buy my closest friends a gift. I would buy just little trinkets, soaps, and perfumes that I thought they would enjoy. Also, when I had tape pals, and pen pals, I would send them little gits and trinkets too. It was always so much fun to get a little treasure in the mail. I knew they would enjoy a package in the mail just as much as I did..It just makes the Christmas season all that much more special!!

For financial reasons, I only get gifts for a few special friends and I try to spend as little as possible, but it's great when you get someone something that they actually want. And this happened to me today when I went to a bookshop with a friend and we each chose a book that we wanted and we bought it for each other. It was great fun.

Yes I do whenever I have some money to spend on. As of now, I haven't done my Christmas shopping yet, maybe one of these days. I only buy those I think will be useful to them, which they can use atleast a day or a week. Its nice to see your friends using your gift as it means they will remember you always.

I also buy gifts for my friends. Even though they aren't expensive in nature or anything like that it is the thought that counts. Sometimes even a box of chocolate can be the best gift because most of my friends have sweet tooths. Most of the time I buy my female friends those little lotion gift sets they have at the Bath & Body stores. Those are always a major hit.

Yes I buy presents for my friends, the lady at work loves frogs, mainly tree frogs so I bought her a little bobble head frog that she can paint herself and a plant holder that was a tree frog and she loved it!!! If you know things you can find like this that your friends like they are in expensive, you can find them at the local thrift or dollar stores! Hope this helps and Have a Happy Holiday and a good day!

Hello Cordirs, this year i have no money to make presents even to my loved ones, what would my friends, but because of that reason i decided while the year is going, to make something by myself for each of my friends, so they can be exited and to feel pleasure when they receive my gifts. I know each of them so well, they are like brothers and sisters for me, so i can do what they like for sure.
