5 Unique Gift Ideas For Best Friends

By Raymond Lam

Are you never quite sure what to get for your friends in your life? Better yet, maybe you're the one who got a birthday or special occasion coming up and would really enjoy a little gift yourself. Here are some awesome gift ideas to give or get for yourself or someone special.

Key Chains

Speaking as someone who loves and collects key chains (I have hundreds of key chains from all over the world, including Japan and Australia), I can say these are wonderful gifts which can range in price from just a few dollars to a few hundred dollars. They can be personalized, engraved or etched and they also can include birthstones, charms, or even a favorite quote. They come in all sizes and materials from silver to gold, plastic to vinyl and everything in between. They're also fun to collect, easy to buy and light to carry, especially during travel.

Gift Cards

Who doesn't love a gift certificate or gift card from their favorite auto supply store? They come in almost all denominations and can be used to buy anything in the store from wash and wax kits to engine parts and everything in between. A gift card from a favorite full service car wash is another great idea particularly for someone who likes to keep their car looking clean and sharp. Fuel cards are another good idea because who would not love a $25.00 or $50.00 gift card from a local gas station especially these days?

Model Kits & Jigsaw Puzzles

Believe it or not, there are still people who love to work with model trucks and cars or who enjoy spending a leisurely weekend twisting a jigsaw puzzle together particularly if it's one which includes their favorite mode of transportation. Jigsaw puzzles come in all sizes and can now be framed, glued and hung on the wall, so do not forget the puzzle glue!

Personalized Gifts

Nowadays almost anything can be personalized from mouse pads to t-shirts to calendars. You can do have a lot of fun crafting a gift yourself by shopping at your local hobby store to buy supplies or take a favorite photo to a local print shop where it can be transferred on to a book bag, yearly calendar or poster. You can also visit websites online where you can upload images from your computer and craft just about anything including magnets, coffee mugs and more!

Custom hand made figurine is another unique gift idea for friends which everyone love nowadays. Find a suitable pre-made figurine and provide them with some photos. They will use the photos that you give as references and create a truly one of a kind!

If you can't find any pre-made figurines that you prefer, you always can ask for fully custom made figurine. It will completely be made based on the photos of their clothes and or activities that they like to do. It will be awesome and the one who received the gift will surely surprise and treasure it forever as they'll always be reminded of the friendship. - 21151
