Birthday Gifts for a Best Friend That No One Else Will Think Of
Is your best friend’s birthday approaching soon? You can’t just sit back and relax; you have to pull your socks up and prepare for their birthday.
This year, don’t just say “Tera Yaar Hu Mein”, prove it.
Buying birthday gifts for friend isn’t always easy, because they don’t deserve expensive gifts, they deserve something that screams “This is so YOU!” but also stands out from the usual birthday gifts.
On this page, you'll find amazing gift ideas, each paired with a dialogue that perfectly suits their personality.
Customised “Inside Joke” Puzzle
They say sarcasm shows weakness, but who gives a damn about it? So, don’t settle for less and take that legendary joke that only you two understand and turn it into a custom puzzle.
Imagine your friend being excited about assembling a 100-piece puzzle only to find the words “Remember Goa 2 AM?” and “I still hear the echo of your scream in Tarun’s house”. This unexpected birthday gift shows your efforts to make it personal and guarantee a conversation around that memory.
Friendship Time Capsule
With your partner in a crime, you must have endless memories (good, bad, weird, embarrassing, fearful) with them. Why not let them feel nostalgia? Ditch those old-fashioned birthday gifts for Girlfriend and create a friendship time capsule for them.
For that, fill a box with old photos, screenshots of cringy DMs, song lyrics, and handwritten letters. After gathering them all, label them like “To be opened on your wedding… or after our next fight” and “Open it when you finally express your feelings to your crush.”
Scent You Invented
Give your best friend a scent you invented and let them know he/she have to smell like you wanted, not what they like to. For instance, you can custom-scent a candle with fragrance oils or essential oils and then blend them together before committing.
For extra fun, you can name it something like “Midnight Rants & Masala Maggi” or “Smells Like Emotional Damage (But in a Good Way).”
Throw a Surprise Party
Although best friends don’t deserve a party, you could throw a surprise party for the sake of those words “Tera Yaar Hu Mein”. Invite him/her with a sarcastic note on WhatsApp that says, “Surprise! It’s your party, but I’m still the main character”
A Pro Tip : Do not throw a plain party; make it spicy with a hyper-personal (creating something unique) touch.
For example:➔ You can decorate the room with the most embarrassing photos of you and your boyfriend.
➔ Create a “Roast & Toast” corner, so guests can roast each other (and of course, your best friend.
➔ Play his/her favourite playlist to balance those embarrassing moments or make them feel a little loved.
Give Them Open-When Letter Kit
After all those funny moments, you gift your best friend an “open-when letter kit” to call it a day. For example, one can write an “Open When…” letter like:
➔ Open when you miss me.
➔ Open when you feel like no one gets you.
➔ Open when you want to share something.
➔ Open when you want to have a drink with me.
➔ Open when you need a reminder of how awesome you are.
➔ Open when you just want to hear my nonsense.
➔ Open when you want to cry for no reason.
