Finding and purchasing great gifts for your friends can be tricky. Most adults are able to purchase whatever they need, so finding small ways to surprise someone on their birthday takes extra creativity. If you need some gift inspiration check out the following ten options to get your creative juices flowing.

1. Hemp Oils

Hemp products might not seem like something that should be first on the list, but they are actually super useful. You can find some excellent CBD oil that can be taken internally or applied externally. This is especially a great gift if your buddy suffers from anxiety, has trouble sleeping, or has a few extra aches and pains that bother them. 

2. Massages

Everyone is in need of a good massage. You can purchase a gift certificate for a great relaxation session at somewhere your friend likes to frequent or one of your favorite spots. If a one-hour session is outside of your budget, you could also look for at-home massaging devices instead. 

3. Restaurant Gift Card

If your friend loves food, a free meal at their favorite place is a no-brainer. If you aren’t sure what their favorite restaurant is, just choose a popular restaurant with great reviews. Everyone loves a reason to go out on the town and enjoy a meal, so it’s impossible to go wrong on this one.

4. Fancy Alcohol

Don’t just settle for an ordinary bottle of wine. Find a fun liqueur that might suit their fancy, or flavored vodka to spice up their next cocktail party. If you aren’t sure where to start to find something tailored to their tastes, just go to your local liquor store and ask for some suggestions. 

5. Amazon Gift Card

Everything they could ever want is probably on Amazon. It’s not exactly the most personal gift, but it will probably be one of the most appreciated. If your friend is a Prime member then they probably already have a raging Amazon addiction and will be excited to put the gift card to good use.

6. Photos

Photos used to be a rather cliche gift, but now that everyone stores so many photos on their phones, it is rare to have actual printed copies around. You could print off some of your favorite photos of your friend and their loved ones, or compile them all into a custom photo book. Either way, your friend will be super grateful to have some printed memories.

7. High-Quality Coffee or Tea

Pretty much every adult enjoys their daily cup of coffee or tea. Splurging on a fancy blend for your friend will bring them all sorts of joy. Look for something flavored or exotic and you will be on the right track. You could even throw in a whimsical mug to go with their new brew.

8. Custom Brithday photo bobblehead

Recording the special happy moment of a birthday party by customizing a birthday bobblehead. An exclusive birthday present for you.

9. Plants

A cute little indoor plant will add some nice color to your friend’s home or office. It’s also going to help purify the air,  ease their tension and stress, and elevate your friend’s mood. Ask for a hardy variety from your local garden source just in case your friend doesn’t have a green thumb.

10. Cozy Blankets

You can never have too many snuggly blankets. They always come in handy. If you want to go the extra mile you could even learn to knit or crochet one yourself, which will give an extra note of sentimentality.

Giving a great birthday gift to your friends doesn’t have to break the bank or be impossible to find. Use one of these ten ideas for your next birthday purchase and your friend is sure to be delighted.
