Introduction
When it comes to buying gifts for a friend or spouse, there are lots of options out there. Here’s a list of some things to consider when thinking about what to get them:
Don’t blow your budget on something you already have.
You don’t want to spend money on something you already have, or an item that you don’t need.
You also want to avoid buying something that is not useful and practical.
If you are stuck for ideas, consider getting your friend or spouse a gift card. As long as you know their favorite store or restaurant, a gift card will be appreciated by anyone!
Use tools and apps to help you save time and money.
If you’re in need of some gift ideas, here are some tools and apps that can help you save time and money. If a gift is a must, consider these options as well.
- Use an app to help you find deals on products they want or need.
- Use an app to make it easier for them to buy what they want or need at the best price possible.
- Use an app that helps them save money when shopping online (and if they don’t shop online already).
Establish a savings process that works for you.
Establish a savings process that works for you.
The first step in establishing your own savings process is to set up an automatic transfer from your checking account into a separate savings account. Set up this automatic transfer by the date of your birthday so that it happens in time for you to use it.
Once you have that established, begin working toward increasing the amount transferred each month or quarter until you reach your goal. If there’s some way that seems difficult or impossible right now, don’t panic! This is just something to work toward; if reaching this goal means waiting until next year, then do so and keep working toward it until then! The important thing is making sure you are saving enough money while also finding ways to increase those savings amounts over time so they become easier and more manageable as time goes on (and hopefully less scary).
Don’t let co-workers or family members steal your ideas.

No matter what you choose to get them, your gift will be the highlight of their day. This can be a great opportunity to show them how much they mean to you and that they are always in your thoughts (even when they’re not). As long as it’s within budget, go ahead and splurge on something special because birthdays are meant for celebrating!
Become a marketing genius so you can create more gift suggestions.
If you want to sell more books, you need to understand what your customers want and how they like to be marketed to. This means learning about marketing.
You also need to know what your competition is doing, because if something works for them, it can work for you as well (or vice versa).
Give more thought to the friend or spouse who is entering into/closing out on a major life event (like marriage, childbirth, death of a family member, etc).
When it comes to birthday, wedding and graduation celebrations, they are all good opportunities to show your appreciation and give a gift that is unique and memorable. It’s not necessary for the gift to be expensive or impersonal. A simple object will do just fine if it has meaning behind it. For example, when my best friend was getting married this summer, I gave her a necklace with a ring pendant on top of which were engraved the words “One day at a time” – this was our motto when we were going through a rough patch in our friendship (we call ourselves ‘daywalkers’ now). She really loved this gift because she knew how much effort I had put into finding something meaningful for her special occasion.
Use word-of-mouth recommendations wisely.
Word-of-mouth recommendations are a great way to find out what to buy and what not to buy. Word of mouth can also help you decide on the right gift.
Let’s say you’ve heard that your friend loves tennis. You could use this as a jumping off point for finding them an appropriate birthday present: maybe they want new tennis shoes or maybe they need some kind of equipment for their game? Word-of-mouth recommendations can be very useful when it comes down to it!
Don’t forget your mom.
For Mother’s Day, Christmas or their birthday, you don’t want to forget your mom. You can get her something sentimental and practical at the same time. Let’s say your mom loves flowers as well as gardening – why not get her a gift basket filled with flower seeds, gardening gloves and a fun hat that she can wear while working in the garden? If your mom is more of a jewelry person then look for something like necklaces made out of fresh flowers or beads that match her favorite color.
It’s important to thank people that make their gifts easy for you to give them.
One of the most important things to make sure you do when you give a gift is thank the person who made it easy for you. It’s not just about being polite; if they didn’t make it easy, then there would be no point in giving them a present at all!
You can express your gratitude by saying something like: “Thank you so much for making this gift-giving business so easy! I wouldn’t have been able to get anything good without you! I love it! 🙂
There are lots of things you can use for birthdays, holidays and special events every year.
There are lots of things you can use for birthdays, holidays and special events every year. There are also lots of people who help you out with these gifts. These can be your friends, family members or even strangers that help make your gift giving easy.
If you’re like me, I always forget to thank the people who help me out with my gift buying! So here’s a few suggestions on what else we can give them:
Conclusion
So, what should you get a friend or spouse for their birthday? Well, you have to start with figuring out what’s important to them. Find out what they like, and then find something that makes sense for them. The last thing you want is to give something that won’t be used or enjoyed. Make sure you do your research before making any decisions!
