gift for a friend

by Alvin Udasco

I got a friend, who will be celebrating her debut on May.

She is a very quiet lady, does not have many friends, as I see.

The thing is eventhough we have known each other since we entered college, I never really learned what her hobbies and interests are, aside from reading books - I do not even know what kind of books.

I want to give her a very special gift but I got no idea what I should give her, and I got a tight budget.

Alvin,

This is a special occasion in your friend's life that requires a meaningful gift.

For example, since this occasion signifies a new start, you can buy her a nice journal in which she could write her thoughts and feelings, it's a great gift for new beginning.

Try to think about things you discussed, what she want, what are her dreams? Let's say she wants to be a successful career woman then you can give her a crystal stone that attracts good fortune and success.

If you don't know her desires you can give her a globe and add a card that says - "The whole world is at your feet, go and prosper".
