We all develop crushes. It is a normal feeling. However, it gets a bit complicated when you fall in love with one of your closest friends.
His birthday is coming up and you want to give him something. But you don’t want to give her birthday gifts that could scare her or jeopardize her friendship. You want to give him something that doesn’t reveal your true feelings but still shows him that you care… like a friend.
You want to give him something that doesn’t give you too much. After all, you don’t even know if he likes you. The wrong gift could make things awkward and ruin what you both have: a great friendship.
The most delicate moment in a falling in love situation is during that stage in which you don’t know if you should tell him that you like him or not. So you want to tread carefully in such circumstances. You don’t want to give him something over the top or overly romantic, but you do want to give him something that still shows you care.
If you’re looking for great gift suggestions for your crush and close friend, here are some ideas you might want to look into.
A great gift would be a mixed CD. You can record a collection of your favorite songs or the best songs by your favorite artist. She will appreciate it and will remind you every time she hears it.
A spa gift basket is also another wonderful gift option. A girl always wants pampering. Include some scented candles, some aromatherapy oils, bath soaps, and lotions. This is perfect, especially if she is stressed about work or school.
Personalized gifts are always appreciated. You can get him a personalized mug, pen, stationery, keychain, or towel.
A food basket would also be a good idea. Put some cookies, cheese, nuts, chocolates, grapes. You can even add a nice bottle of wine.
A friendship bracelet will be something that he will love. It will only show him how much your friendship means to you. You can make it yourself or get one online.
If he loves to read, you might want to buy him a book. Has he mentioned any titles she hasn’t read yet in any of his conversations? This will be a great way to show her that you are paying attention to what she is saying.
If you’re not sure which book to choose, a better option would be to get him a bookstore gift card. This will allow you to select what you want.
If she collects knick-knacks, try getting her a small wooden jewelry box like the Heart Trinket Box. This pretty and charming box will hold all your little trinkets.
The important thing when buying gifts for your crush is not to buy one that is too expensive and fancy or makes her uncomfortable. Simple gifts are the best for crushes. Who knows, maybe one day this simple crush will turn into something more.
