With Black Friday lurking just days away, thoughts of sugarplums are overridden for many with a haunting fear of lines, chaos and holiday anxiety about finding that perfect gift for that perfect friend. Here is a simple guide to make or find that perfect score for your BFFs and partners in crime.
This holiday, give the gift of music. Your gift is guaranteed to be both as original and unique as the music your friends love.
Homemade
Create a playlist of favorite songs and burn it to a CD. Think of a really great hit list, songs that remind you of your giftee, or songs reminiscent of memories shared. Instead of splurging on a CD case, fold a colorful holiday magazine ad into a cute envelope and slip the CD in. Seal with clear tape, and dress it up with a little holiday note!
Store-Bought
Grab a great deal on an adorable Retro Block i-Pod Speaker at
fredflare.com. A clever item available for $25, the speaker will let your buds jam out to their fave tunes while party prepping all year long.
Find this trendy USB at swarovski.com.
The flash drive has become an unfortunate accessory when worn around the neck on a lanyard. Its presence is tantamount to the pocket protector of former generations, and then and now; donning techie gear is a major fashion faux pas. Bring your favorite eager achiever up to speed with the trendiest accessories for their greatest passions.
Homemade
Find a subtlety cool keychain or D-ring at a dollar store and hook it up with an unobtrusive USB for instant pocket/belt loop chic.
Store-Bought
Spend a pretty penny and go haute tech with a blinged out
Swarovski crystal memory key. It’s a brilliant way to still let your friend wear the flash drive but not be ambushed by Clinton and Stacy on the next episode of “What Not to Wear.”
Remember your crazy nights with just a click.
Memories with those you love are the most priceless gifts in the world, and what better way to preserve them than with pictures?
Homemade
Piece together a photo album or photo collage of favorite memories. To make a wall-worthy collage, use construction paper as a base, arrange newspaper or pretty magazine pages as a background, and feature a few favorite pictures. Find a cheap plastic diploma frame, and you’ve created a thoughtful keepsake.
Store-Bought
Advancements in technology are made daily, and digital cameras keep pace with the best. This season, deals on cameras are at every major electronic retailer. Snap one up and delight in your friend being your crew’s party paparazzi well through ’09.
