Growth and change are hallmarks of
spring. As the school year comes to an
end, the lives of you and your friends
may change and take different paths as
you graduate or switch schools. If you
want to let your friends know how
important they are to you, a gift can
help you express your feelings.
Deciding on a Gift
Although your friends might enjoy clothes,
DVDs or computer games, what you're after are gifts that will make
them think of you. Something with a little more personality may be in
order. Here are some ideas:
Photos. If you put a collection of special photos in a scrapbook or on a CD, your friend will always have happy memories at his or her fingertips.
Support. Transitions can be tough. A small gift (such as a bookmark, magnet or picture frame) with a special quotation inscribed on it can give your friend an emotional boost every time he or she glances at it.
A plant. Tasteful ivy, blooming geraniums or an exotic cactus can be a living symbol of your friendship.
A stuffed animal. From a traditional teddy bear to something more unusual such as a stuffed manatee or wolf, a cuddly creature can express your affection.
