If life were perfect, we'd have all the time in the world to
scour for the perfect birthday gift for our friends and lovers. Unfortunately,
the Gods of scheduling don't always allow this. Birthdays often creep on us before
we've even managed to think about gift-buying. For those times, here are some
heartfelt last-minute gift ideas to save you.
Baking Mixes
For foodie friends, gourmet baking mixes are a total treat.
If your neighborhood grocery store doesn't have any pre-made sets, you can put
together your own in the time it takes to run to the store. Grab some gourmet
cocoa powder, quality chocolate chips, nuts, food coloring, whatever your pal
digs most. Toss them in a basket with a ribbon and ta-da.
Prints
In the digital world we live in, having pictures printed
feels like a luxury. We don't often do it for ourselves, as much as we say we
will. Print out some snapshots of your happiest memories with your friend and
splurge on a frame or two for them.
Art kits
For crafters, having an art kit is a seriously fun creative
outlet. Most craft stores have drawing sets stocked with quality charcoals and
pencils, scrap booking materials, stationery sets etc. An art kit is a
one-stop-shop for creative expression.
Your favorite book
Sharing your favorite read with someone you love is always
a heartfelt move. Grab a copy with a funky bookmark.
Plants
Who doesn't want to fill their apartment with cool exotic
potted plants? They're not typically something you buy for yourself, but they
do wonders for breathing life into rooms.
