Fun Gifts Ideas to Make Life Simpler for Your Single Friends
What can you give
to your single friends that they’ll like? You don’t want to give the same old
boring gifts that just lie in the closet. A truly thoughtful gift takes into
consideration the activities and lifestyle of your friends.
Here are some ideas that will make life
simpler for your single friends:
Gift certificates or cards
are always in style. It could be to their favorite bookstore, coffee shop,
nail salon or spa treatment. Even
some year-round farmer’s markets, (Ecology Center Farmers' Market is
one example), have gift
certificates, which is very welcome to friends who enjoy eating and cooking the
freshest foods.
Another idea is to give new phone apps.
(iPhone, iPad,
and iPod are easy. Blackberry and Android take a little more effort.)
Tickets to their favorite events
would be welcome, too. Whether they love sports, music, or the arts we have
them all here in California. (If you don’t want the hassle of coordinating this,
Simplify’s
concierge service can arrange it for you.)
Are your single friends trying to eat
healthier? Why not gift them a fruit-of-the-month club. Goldenstatefruit.com, Thefruitcompany.com. Cherrymoonfarms.com
and Harryanddavid.com are
some here on the west coast you can check out.
Have you noticed their refrigerator is
usually bare? A gift certificate to a
grocery
shopping service or to a meal
delivery service would guarantee that they eat well.
A case of their favorite beverage
would go over big. Whether they love wine, beer, or specialty teas, this is a
gift they’ll use and enjoy.
Make a voucher for something you can do
together. Leave it open as to their choice, but you
could suggest a visit to a spa, a class, a book club or new-recipe club to
join, etc. This will be especially appreciated if your friend is newly single.
An invitation to join your family
may be the best gift of all, especially if they’ll be alone this holiday
season. Including them as ‘part of the family’ will go over big.
When you’ve visited their home, have you
noticed that there’s some household chore that they hate to do? Why not give
them a gift
certificate to a home concierge service? That way they can use
it for whatever task they desire. If they live in the Silicon Valley, contact
us at Simplify for a truly unique gift!
