If you are lucky with a friend, and she turned out to be a person who understands you better than others and has become closer to you than my sister, rejoice and appreciate this friendship. Undoubtedly, most women and girls value their girlfriend and on her birthday they want to present something non-trivial and original. Therefore, they begin to search for a gift many months before the presentation. Only in this way you can find very interesting and inexpensive gifts for your girlfriend's birthday.
Inexpensive - does not mean bad
Before we start the review of gift ideas, let us make one digression and recall that the words "inexpensive" and "cheap", however, like "budget" are very rough concepts. All people have different financial capabilities and each person has an idea of cheapness and high cost. We present to your friend a birthday gift idea.
Original or commonplace
We will try to choose the most budget options. Consider unusual presentations and quite banal. The word "banal", however, we do not use to insult and underestimate the value of inexpensive gifts for a girlfriend’s birthday. The fact is that many people enjoy the very common options for presentations. It happens that a person is looking for something unusual, and then it turns out that a friend longed to receive a very ordinary gift on her day.
In addition, inexpensive gifts for a girlfriend’s birthday still have a certain value for you and for her. Suppose, if you yourself are not yet working due to a rather young age, the gift, of course, will not differ in high cost.
Hints and revelations
Well, let's start the selection of ideas for presentations. The easiest way to make the hero of the occasion happy is to ask her what she would like to see in her treasured box, package or other packaging on her birthday. When she opens your heart and shares certain “Wishlist” you can immediately begin to search for an inexpensive birthday present for a friend. It is unlikely that a friend will order you something disproportionate in price to your financial capabilities.
However, there is a possibility that the girlfriend will not tell directly about her wishes. In this case, it is necessary to be more attentive to her words during the year (or at least the months closest to the day of celebration) - she will certainly let you know what she wants to receive. Keep an eye on her carefully during your shopping trips together. Seeing the desired thing, the girlfriend will be delighted with how interesting and original it was invented and how I would like to buy it now, but, alas, not fate, financial difficulties or other reasons. In this case, you just need to come back later and buy a future present for the holiday.
Some (not many, but still there are such young ladies) lead the so-called "Album of Desires" in social networks. This is a kind of hint to others revealing, as if by chance, that a person wants to have in his use and what he likes. Do not be lazy, “wander around” on the page of your girlfriend and look at albums, perhaps it belongs to this type of people. And, thanks to this trick, you can get an inexpensive birthday present for a friend.
Useful, original and not very
Some of these ideas can become real presentations, and some you can complement the main gift. Be guided by your situation, age and some nuances known only to you. Marital status, hobbies and age of the hero of the occasion will help with ideas for presenting a girlfriend with a birthday:
- For a lover of social events, a ticket to an event will be a good present. It is better to give two tickets - so a friend will be able to attend an exhibition, theater or concert with someone in tandem.
- Gift Certificate. This is an interesting and widespread idea that many people support. Having received a certificate for a certain amount, a girlfriend will be able to buy herself what she wants. There will be no errors with size, shade and other details. Certificates are offered in many cosmetic and perfume stores, in beauty salons, in clothing stores. In general, look around, and you will certainly meet certificates not only in the above areas.
- An inexpensive and useful gift is an external battery for charging a smartphone and other gadgets.
- You can give your girlfriend a birthday inexpensive accessories and items for your favorite activity. A hobby is an occupation for the soul, and an additional accessory or something related to a hobby will never be superfluous for a person who has a passion for any occupation.
- If a girlfriend loves games, but not computer, real, desktop, then please her and present as a gift checkers, chess, "Monopoly", etc.
20, 23 and above
What can be a birthday present for a girlfriend at 20? If she is not married and, most likely, a student, present an interesting notebook. Now a great variety of original designs. It is possible that some will be able to become a cute birthday present for a friend.
The book is for connoisseurs
A tablet stand, an e-book, a sports bracelet watch, counting steps and calories can also be a gift. By the way, if a girlfriend (not only 20 years old, but any age) likes to indulge in reading real paper books, please her. The book is an actual gift. Not everyone likes electronic gadgets. Many people want to inhale the aroma of a new book, and experience a pleasant tactile sensation, touching its rustling pages. In addition, a paper book is just what it is inexpensive and memorable to give a girlfriend a birthday. You can choose a gift for the bibliophile, based on your financial capabilities and necessarily - on her preferences. If you know the name of your favorite author or a series of specific books that your friend would like to have, buy them for her.
For household
But what can be presented to a married twenty-year-old (and slightly older) young lady: a set of dishes. Only you should first make sure that "she needs her," as they say. Naturally, you should not collect terrible trash that you yourself would not really like to have. A beautiful tea pair or an original cake stand is something that you can give your girlfriend a cheap birthday gift and is useful for her family and life. The hostess girl will be happy to have a set of beautiful plates, a good frying pan and other household items. Just do not forget to invest something else in such a present: a box of chocolates or a medal “Best friend”, or another pleasant trifle.
For the hungry for aesthetics
An original inexpensive gift for a girlfriend's birthday can be elements of the decor of the room: candlesticks (with candles and without them), an aromatic diffuser, an interesting night lamp. You can look at the pictures or take a walk "by chance" in such a store with pictures, in order to notice which one the future birthday girl liked more, come back and get it. I must say that such things for the interior have a very large price corridor.
Cheap and ugly
Do not buy frankly cheap birthday gifts for your girlfriend. Bedding sets that will fade and shrink a lot after the first meeting with the washing machine, Chinese home slippers, scary figurines, as well as no less scary and tasteless photo frames - all this will not bring her joy. Of course, all of the above items can be donated, but it’s worth it to be very meticulous about their quality and design. Many, for example, do not want to receive a vase as a gift, but then again, the vase is a vase - discord, and some older girls and ladies wish to have several such stylish vases in the interior. This can happen to any item.
DIY gift: is it worth it?
Man-made handmade birthday gifts to a friend should be presented only in case of your really high level of skill. And even in this situation, it would be nice to know her attitude to your work. Perhaps for her it has absolutely no value and does not interest her like you do. Of course, if you see the sincere interest and desire of the girlfriend to have something from what you create with your own hands, then give.
Most people do not like handmade gifts and are not very happy with them. And, by the way, the question of the price of such a gift is very ambiguous. Suppose you embroider and want to give your friend a picture embroidered with a cross. So, the price of only one set with a decent plot varies from four hundred and above rubles. An example is a completely budget set. Add to this your time (a 25 by 30 design with full sewing will take about three months to embroider if you get down to business with perseverance). Such a gift is your personal time, health (sitting in one position for several hours and reading the diagram) and your family’s time. At the next stage, consider the cost of completing a finished masterpiece in a special baguette workshop (far from free). And after all this, you are proud to present a handmade gift, in which you invested a lot of things, in addition to budgetary funds. A friend takes him and smiles tightly, thanks you. A month later, you see your "masterpiece" hanging in a corner somewhere in the country. Remember the possible development of events according to this scheme and create gifts only when you are very much asked and respected about the business you are doing.
Perhaps the ideas for inexpensive gifts given in this article will allow your imagination to break out, and you can complement them with your own thoughts.
