Gifts for Friends

Your mates are the ones who have your back, give you no-nonsense advice and the ones you call for any trip down the pub. Finding them a gift, whatever the occasion, can be something you don’t want to think about. Perhaps you have no idea where to start or you don’t want to come across as too soppy – or the opposite. Perhaps you scroll for hours and hours, but nothing sparks your interest. Perhaps you just go for the old classic alcohol gift because it’s less hassle. Whatever your gifting ways, we’re here to help you; we get that, with everything else in life, gifting can be an added nightmare. Whilst we don’t have everything under the gifting sun on this website, we can point you in the right direction, give you inspiration and show you easier ways to gift when it all becomes a bit too much. By the end of this page, that mate of yours will be one lucky lad to have a friend like you.

You know who you’re buying for

Whether you’re part of a group of lads, have that one best friend you count on or he’s a new work colleague that you’ve clicked with, your friendship will define many factors of gifting: how much you spend, how sentimental you want to go (if at all), how well you know what his reaction will be etc. etc. From bossing an afternoon of supercar driving with your best mate to giving one of the lads a pint glass he won’t stop ogling to making the office a more fun place to work with your colleague, there’s a variety of gifts to suit.

You know exactly what you’re looking for

It doesn’t matter how long you’ve known him, you’re pretty good at guessing what he’s going to appreciate and you’re pretty sure you’ve outdone yourself with the whole gift idea for his special day. Now all you need to do is find it and press Buy. The search bar is the quickest way and will let you know if we have it on Find Me a Gift or not. If we do, great! If we don’t, we have plenty of other fun options, but we’ll put you on the right track to help you find exactly what you’re looking for.

You know the occasion, but not the gift

Perhaps the day of his wedding is coming up and you want to treat the groom. Something small and sentimental for him to wear on his big day might just give him that extra boost he needs, either that or a swig from his own personalised hip flask or a quick smoke with an engraved lighter on hand. Perhaps he is a new dad; amongst all the emotions, “terrified” is a word to use. Help ease his anxiety with a survival kit and a laugh. Perhaps he has just gotten a place of his own – a proper lad’s pad – and it needs some serious man cave decorations like a Batman decanter and Stormtrooper Cookie Jar as well as the necessities such as loo roll. You can never have too much of it.

You know what he will love but need a nudge in the right direction

If you’ve grown up with this lad, you’re going to know him pretty well. In fact, if you’re struggling with finding him a gift, you’re probably closer to the goal than you think. What does he love to do? Is he a football fan? Take him to his home ground. Is he a petrolhead through and through? An exhilarating spin around the racetrack is an unforgettable moment. Does he love to travel? A trivia game or journal for his next trip might just do the job. Whatever you think of, bear in mind Find Me a Gift’s three gifting rules: experience, sentimentality, and fun. It doesn’t have to exclusively be a gift experience; the experience of your gift giving in itself will be as memorable as you make it. The sentimentality of your gift doesn’t equate to how much you make him cry happy tears but is a reflection of your friendship instead. As for fun, if you’re not giving your mate fun and laughter, what are you doing?

You need something ASAP, whatever the gift

That little thing in the back of your mind was right: you’ve forgotten something. Or, you’ve waited until the very last minute because you’re lazy and couldn’t be bothered to find a gift in advance. We’ve all been there which is why we have a page full of gifts that you can buy with Next Day Delivery. Even better, grab an eVoucher of any gift experience and have it sent to your email within thirty minutes. There’s no need to panic, not that you were anyway.
