4 Small Gifts To Give To Your Friends

In This Article:

Our friends are people who are near and dear to our heart, they are there for us in our darkest moments and right next to us for our brightest. It's always important to show these people that they matter to you and that you appreciate them. Here are some small and inexpensive ways to show your friends how much they really mean to you.

Make them a 10 song playlist

Making someone a playlist is one of the sweetest things you can do. Everybody likes music! Make them a short playlist of songs that remind you of them, be sure to add in songs that they haven't heard before as well. It'll make it more exciting for them to listen to.

Draw or Paint them a picture

Art is such a wonderful way of expression. Draw or paint your friend a picture of things they like, a memory with them, or just something that means a lot to the both of you. It gives them a physical reminder of how much you love and care about them.

Make them food

This one may seem simple but inviting your friend over and making the two of you dinner is a really thoughtful thing. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, they'll appreciate it no matter what. Having dinner with your friend is also a good excuse to see and hang out with them more.

Send them a long text

One of my favorite things is waking up and seeing a text from someone explaining why they love me. It makes my entire week. Writing down in words why someone is important to you can make someone feel so amazing in such a short amount of time. You never know when they might need those words of encouragement.

It's really easy and inexpensive to show your friends you care about them. Everybody needs a little love, so spread it around with these super easy gifts. Try them out, I promise it'll be worth it.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
