With Halloween just around the corner, the holidays might just sneak right up next to you before you know it. Or you might be like me and you have several birthdays and anniversaries coming up. Maybe you simply just want to show appreciation.

Hemp bracelets are beautifully colorful and look good on everyone.

2. A handwritten note

Just letting someone know that you are thinking about them or that they were even on your mind is the best thing that you could ever give anyone. Plus, it doesn’t cost anything!

3. Money

I mean, this would make anyone happy, am I right? The possibilities are endless.

4. Tickets

What is the point of being friends if you don’t go to concerts or sporting events together?

5. Stickers

You can never go wrong with stickers.

6. Minature camera

No, it’s not a toy. This teeny tiny fisheye camera would make the perfect gift.

7. Pictures

A polaroid picture of you and your friends make creative gifts! There are also so many polaroid frames to chose from to turn these memories into decor!

8. A hand drawn portrait

You get bonus points, for sure, if you support a local artist in doing so.

9. Their favorite candy

Reminding your friends that you remember certain things about them is always a sweet way to show someone that you appreciate them.

10. Home-baked cookies

Of course, these cookies would need to be made small enough to fit in an envelope. But hey, who doesn’t love homemade cookies?

12. A music box
