Gift guide: Fun ideas for your best friends that won't break the bank

The festive season is here and buying gifts for your loved ones can be an intense experience. If you’ve put off doing present shopping until almost the last minute, we’ve got you.

Even though the malls are full, traffic is somewhat of a nightmare and Christmas is around the corner, there are plenty of options.

We’ve compiled some fun ideas for your bestie or the women in your life that can be used as inspiration throughout the year.

Getting into skincare

Whether your friend is just getting into a solid routine or is an avid skincare product lover - a nice treat is getting a full set of products to use. It’s an easy way to introduce someone to a brand you love or get them a coveted set that they’ve always wanted. You can decide from a plethora of local product lines, like SKOON, Swiitch Beauty or Skin Creamery. Grab a set of products to trial for you and your girls!

Time to read

Is your bestie an avid reader? Reading can be an expensive hobby, so why not get her a voucher to her favorite bookstore or a few titles on her must-read list. In case you missed it, print is making somewhat of a comeback and this is the perfect time to gift your friend a year long subscription to a magazine of her choice. It’s something she can revisit time and time again, and share with others.

Foodie friends

We’ve all got that one friend that could rival Nigella or Siba in the kitchen. Treat your aspiring Masterchef to something she’s wanted for a while. Choose between a beautifully printed apron, a cookbook she’s had her eye on or even a dinner to the newest restaurant in town. Depending on your budget, you could cook her a meal or bake some delightful treats.

Let’s go on a trip

One of the best ways to spoil friends is with a girl’s getaway or a spa day. If you have the budget and the time to plan, get started on planning an all day affair at some of the best spas in the country. It’s the best way to unwind and recharge for a day and such a treat. Alternatively, plan that long overdue girl’s trip and have a weekend away with your loved ones.
