I have been getting PM's from people unsure of what to get their buddies.
Try reading their favorites questionnaire or search for other posts theyve made on TPF for ideas. Remember we are stressing creativity instead of trying to spend a lot of money. Just send something to brighten your buddy's day! So far I noticed someone sent their buddy a card with some hand-drawn extras. Isn't that great! Remember you can always PM me if you need to ask your buddy a question. Everyone has been really great about replying.
If you are unsure, here are some things I know everyone would like:
1. Gift Cards
This is really one of the best gifts IMO. They are also easy and economical to mail! You can probably search to see if they have stores/locations in your buddy's city.
Try chain restaurants, clothing stores, department stores, coffee shops, book stores, Target, Sephora, Sanrio, Staples, itunes, blockbuster, etc... The possibilities are endless. My sister sent me some movie tickets to a local movie theater chain she found online ontime.
2. Mail/Online Order
You can buy something for your buddy at your favorite online retailer and have it sent right to your buddy! Ebay, BN.com, Sephora, Ulta, or Amazon.com has something for everyone.
3. Candies
Go to a candy store like fuzziwigs and buy a few ounces of several different types of sweets. Be sure to consider what might not hold up in mailing. Wrap your goodies with decorative extra's you can find at Target or Michael's to make it even more beautiful.
4. Flowers
You can call a flower store in your buddy's neighborhood and have them delivered! Try 1-800-Flowers
5. Fragrant Lotions, Soaps, Candles
These are so popular these days, and you know your buddy's favorite scents.
Books, Cds, or Dvds are great gifts too. What about lovely stationery supplies or an elegant pen? A small decorative object for their desk?
Please add your ideas to this thread, but be careful not to give anything specific away!
