5 Thoughtful Gifts For Friends Pt.1

There will be unlimited parts to this series because I’m always finding good stuff online that I think my friends would love! These are helpful because it’s quick, especially if their birthday snuck up on you. All of these options are Amazon Prime and are quick to send in the mail. Tip: Send the amazon gift straight to them with a note but set a reminder on your phone to CALL them on their birthday. Even if they’re busy the missed call will mean a lot. *Note the following links in this post are affiliate links so I can earn rewards if you purchase something.

I’ve Been Thinking… Reflections, Prayers, and Meditations for a Meaningful Life By Maria Shriver

This book is powerful, it’s great to have near your nightstand or desk, it’s almost like a devotional and a perfect gift. All of us occasionally need a pick me up or to flip it open for an inspirational and thought provoking short essay broken apart on topics like acceptance, gratitude, motherhood, etc. It was given to me by my Mom, and I spent some time with it and passed it along to someone else who I thought could use it. At the price point it is worth having an extra copy on hand to give out. Buy it here.

Come Away With Me – Norah Jones LP

I think everyone needs a record player in their house, the crackling sound of the vinyl, the soft sounds that are just classic and frankly a bit before my time. Nothing makes a dinner party or quiet night with your significant other like putting on some records. This album is CLASSIC. Every song is soothing and special. It’s a very special gift for anyone with a record player and this needs to be in everyone’s collection. Buy Here.

Stainless Steel Measuring Spoons – Fits In A Spice Jar!

Everyone knows how frustrating it is when your dang measuring spoons don’t fit inside the garlic powder! These are shaped to get inside all of those jars and containers and let me tell you how easy life can just get. This is a great gift for a wannabe chef or a novice! Pair it with a selection of spices, in Savannah we have a place called The Salt Table and I love their spice mixes. Great gift for someone who likes to spend time in the kitchen. Purchase for under $10 Here!

Spindrift 20 Pack Sparkling Water

We can be real with ourselves, who wouldn’t LOVE for this to show up on their doorstep. You can include a sweet note, “You’re just as sparkly and flavorful” to make them smile. For those minimalist friends OR those who have enough “stuff” go the delicious and refreshing route. You think I’m silly, but can you imagine a friend sending you this out of nowhere and how happy you’ll be?! Buy Spindrift on Amazon Prime Here!

Magnolia Journal has a variety of home decor, cooking, and other great articles that it is just completely quality work. The subscription comes our quarterly and will be a lasting gift to give.
