Gifts for a friend

That''s why it''s nice to take a little more time when their birthday comes around to think about the most appropriate gift.

But you''ve probably also had that one year when you just couldn''t come up with a clever gift idea. Don''t worry if you don''t know what to get your friend. It doesn''t mean you''re a bad friend, because everyone has probably been there. Even though we know our friends very well, sometimes we run out of ideas or we run out of time to think and shop around. That''s why we''ve put together a list of the best gifts for your girlfriends below to help you out.

Gifts for a friend

When it comes to choosing a gift, the first thing to think about is what will put a smile on the person''s face. What she really wants and what would really make her happy. The gift should be in line with her lifestyle. This means taking into account whether the friend is still single, in a relationship, has a family, goes to work, likes to travel, loves sport ... It makes no sense to buy a cookery book for someone who hates cooking. We should also always make sure that the gift is useful, because it is most pointless to buy something that will not be useful to the recipient.

Those true friends who are always there for us and who brighten up many a day should be pampered, because they deserve it. That is why it is nice, when their birthday comes, to take a little more time to think about the most appropriate gift.

Because friends have a special place in our lives, they deserve a little more time to choose a gift and not to buy the first thing they see in the shop.

There are plenty of options when choosing a gift for a friend. We''ve written down just a few in the list below:

• Personalised chocolate: what girl doesn''t love chocolate? At Mojačokolada.si you can make her a unique personalised chocolate. You can choose the flavour (white, milk, dark, colourful), the different sprinkles and spices, and add an inscription if you wish. This way, you''ll give her a chocolate that''s made exactly to her taste. You can also have a personalised chocolaterie, where you choose the flavours of the pralines.
• Concert tickets: do you and your girlfriend have a favourite singer or band in common? Buy two tickets, go to a concert together and enjoy.
• A photo frame: we know it''s a very cliché gift, but if you''ve never given her one before, a framed photo of the two of you will make a great present too. You could also give something small like chocolate wine or chocolates.
• A mug with an inscription: even a mug with a personalised inscription can be rather clichéd, but if your friend likes to drink hot drinks like coffee and tea, she''ll love it.
• Cookery course: if she likes to cook and bake, a cookery course is a great choice. There are many different and interesting courses available in Slovenia, so choose the one you think she will enjoy the most. If she''s a big foodie and likes to learn how to cook new dishes, give her a course that''s a bit more "exotic", like a sushi course.
• A body care set: buy her a shower gel with her favourite scent, a massage bar, a moisturiser, a face mask... You could add some of her favourite make-up or give her her favourite perfume.
• Jewellery: if your friend loves jewellery, give her a new piece to add to her collection. That way, she''ll think of you every time she wears it. We recommend you choose a piece of jewellery from Slovenian jewellery makers that''s a little different, maybe even a little quirkier.
• Wellness: give her a voucher for a massage, a sauna, a relaxing bath or a facial, manicure, pedicure. You can also go for a pampering day together and have a real ladies'' day, ending with a nice dinner and a glass of wine or your favourite drink.
• A trip: we all know that in today''s fast-paced life, time is the most precious gift, because it is always in short supply. Organise a trip, either to Slovenia or to a nearby country, and spend some time with your friend. You can explore a new city and taste the local cuisine, or go somewhere you''ve been in the past and have fond memories of.
• A simple gift: You can also buy her a simple gift such as a personalised yearbook, warm socks or slippers, a water bottle, etc. As always, it''s the purpose that counts, not the value of the gift.
