You could meet someone one day and the next day they are gone from your life forever. Some people are only meant to be in our lives for a season and then there are those that are your forever friends. You might have met in first grade or lived down the street from each other. If you are lucky to still have someone in your life into your adulthood, you should cherish that relationship. Friendship gifts can show our friends how we really feel about them and also how much we know about them.
Best friends are in sync with one another and some are closer than sisters or brothers. “A friend that stands closer than a brother” is how David referred to his best friend Jonathan in the Bible. You might also remember that Joseph’s brothers sold him into slavery. So if you are lucky to have a dear friend, money should be no object. But you don’t want to be a show-off. You can choose the perfect gift and give them just what they need or want. Wants are fun to receive. If you don’t have a sister and your best friend is the closest you have to a sister, you can spend time shopping for her gift together. Time spend together having fun is what friendships are all about. But sometimes you need a shoulder and they are there for you too. Men might choose to take their friend to a sporting event or hang out at a bar for their birthdays. It doesn’t mean that they care less, but it is more fun than shopping.
