What to Give a Friend as a Gift: 5 Personalized Ideas
Reading time: 3 min.
7/04/2022
For birthdays and other special occasions, it’s only natural to want to surprise your bestie with an original idea. That’s why it’s worth putting some real thought into what to get a friend as a gift: with a little effort, you’re sure to find something that’s just right. Let’s be honest straight away: a gift card saves time, but where’s the creativity we all love? Originality and initiative are precious ingredients that add something extra to the much-quoted saying, “it’s the thought that counts.”
Year after year, ideas can start to run dry — we know. That’s why we at Iqiqo are here to inspire you with 5 amazing personalized gift ideas for your best friend.
1. A personalized tote bag for the friend who lives in the city
City life never slows down. Between school, university, work, and coffee with friends, everything moves at lightning speed — and a bag always comes in handy. These days, though, everyone wants tote bags. Eco-friendly and reusable, these fabric bags can be folded up small enough to fit in your pocket, taking up as little space as possible.
What’s more, each bag can become one of a kind: just personalize it with a print, a design, or a message to give your friend a truly special gift.
2. A tree for your eco-conscious friend
Would you like to give a tree as a gift and follow its life as if it were a logbook? Treedom, for example, offers a wide range of trees you can give as a gift to a friend, helping support environmental sustainability with a touch of fun.
3. A personalized herbal tea for that zen friend
Not everyone likes coffee, and maybe your friend would rather sip tea and herbal infusions with flavors from around the world. Imagine creating an exclusive blend of spices that releases an aroma reflecting the character and personality of your dear friend. If she loves curling up under warm blankets with a good book, there could hardly be a more fitting gift idea.
4. What to give a friend who loves to travel
If your friend always has a suitcase in hand and is a genius at finding amazing travel deals, you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to original and personalized gift ideas. Our suggestion is to make a handmade luggage tag, or create a cheerful and creative label online.
It will be a bit like travelling the world with her: before, during, and after every flight, she won’t be able to help but smile thinking of you and this brilliant little gift you gave her.
5. Celebrate her birthday with a personalized sticker album
Do you want to surprise her — maybe even make her say “wow”? When it comes to a birthday party, there’s no need to rack your brains trying to figure out what to give your friend: a photograph is worth more than any other gift. A snapshot really holds everything: emotions, memories, and radiant smiles. And if you want something even more special, there’s a clever way to bring those photos to life and create a truly one-of-a-kind gift. With our app, we turn your pictures into adhesive stickers — just like the ones you find at the newsstand — to be placed in an album that you can personalize however you like. So, what do you think — shall we start unwrapping? Discover our birthday-themed personalized sticker album.
