What should I give for my friend's b-day?

[Anonymous]

In a turn of events that happened this year, she went from a school rival to my now friend. For instance I almost missed the 2024 New Year's Eve because I was grounded (on top of getting suspended too) for being the instigator of a girl fight. She spoke on their behalf and saved my holiday.

She treated me kindly when I didn't deserve it and over time I learned from her and worked on bettering myself. It's her b-day will be on Sunday July 14. What I can give my friend as a gift for her b-day?

Wow girl, it's so awesome how y'all were able to go from rivals to friends like that! Sounds like she really showed you what true friendship is about. Now you've gotta show her how much you appreciate her on her big day!

Since your history was a rocky one, I'd make the gift really meaningful and personal. Maybe put together a scrapbook with photos from your makeup, letters about how she changed your life, little mementos from your memories together. That would really show the thought you put in.

Another cute idea is a playlist! Make a Spotify or Apple Music list of songs that remind you of her or your friendship. She'll love vibing to tunes that are special to y'all.

Another option is one of those "Friend Coupon Books" where you decorate pages with things like "One free movie night" or "Good for one shopping trip!" It's fun but also shows how much you value your time together.

Whatever you choose, just put your heart into it. She'll love knowing how special she is to you now! Let me know what you decide - I'm sure she'll adore it. You go girl! 🥳

Thank you very much and yes we came a long way. I haven't been nice to her before and I was wrong for that. I love your suggestion of the Friend Coupon Books the most, along with a letter about my appreciation of our friendship and how I'm becoming a better person.

That's awesome, luv! I think a coupon book and letter is the perfect idea. Girls really love stuff that shows you pay attention and care about them. And writing a heartfelt letter saying how much you value her friendship now will definitely make her feel special.

When you give it to her, be sure to look her in the eye and tell her honestly how grateful you are that she gave you a second chance. And that you're working every day to be the good friend she deserves. Stuff like that will mean way more than any store-bought gift ever could.

Have fun making the coupons too - things like "One free hug", "Dinner is on me next time", "I'll do your homework if you want". Stuff girls will think is cute. And end the letter by wishing her an awesome birthday and hoping you can be besties for a long time.

I'm sure just putting that effort in will be so appreciated. She'll be so happy you took the time to thank her properly. You're lucky to have each other - friendship turnarounds don't always happen. Treat her right from now on, and have fun celebrating her day together! You guys got this.
