Choosing a gift for a friend
Small and specific beats big and generic: the snack they always buy, the candle scent they love, the board game you'll play together. Most friend gifts sit between £10 and £30.
If a group of friends is buying together, pool for one better gift rather than several small ones.
Questions
How much should you spend on a friend's gift?
Most people spend £10 to £30 on friends. Agree a budget with your group if you exchange gifts, so nobody feels awkward.
What is a good gift for a friend who has everything?
Something they'll use up (a luxury candle, chocolates, a bath set) or something to do together, like a game or tickets.
