Basically, no man is an island, irrespective of this saying that says "Your best friend is your worst enemy", we still need friends in something vital. No doubts, no man is an island, and most times the gifts we present to our friends shows how we value them. Probably it could be their birthday, wedding, anniversary or just an event, we sometime feel challenged when selecting the right gift for that friend.

We could overcome this defeat by following this 5 easy steps:

• Refer to hobbies and interests
  If i may ask, is the recipient a game lover? A fashion lover? A sci-fi movie enthusiast. Knowing the interests and hobbies of the recipient could be a great way to know what type of gifts the recipient would deeply appreciate.

Sometimes we might feel bizarre to give them what they are highly involved in, nevertheless, giving them something they spend most of their time on might ignite a feel good record inside them and it will always be received.

• Begin with a budget
  First things first, before you begin searching for the perfect gifts it would be wise to lay a budget first,so you don't go for something you simply can't afford. That's why we always see the price tags attached to a product each time we go to the super store, atleast it will enable you know the fixed price and plan towards it.

• Consider the occasion first;
  Don't get it mixed up, it's one thing to get a gift for a friend it's another thing to know if the gifts are worth the occasion. A gift that would be perfect and welcomed might not be welcomed in the eyes of a family member during a graduation. Irrespective if it is appreciated in the eyes of the recipient, you might also want to contemplate if it would be correct to present the gift in the presence of their family.

Don't get me wrong, it doesn't mean a gift cannot have some individuality, try as much as you can to make it's personality match with the tune and overall aim.

• Don't aim to high
  For some reasons, gift baskets could be a bad idea most times. Nevertheless creating a gift from the scratch could be a whole lot of fun. Look for a small series of piece the recipients might appreciate and wrap them together in an appropriate manner.

If the recipient is a big lover of art, then you could make a rough sketch of something you know him/her would appreciate, or you could get some local arts men to do the job for you.

• Try something unique
  With the help of an online shops, there are lots of things you could purchase there unlike your everyday big box store. Let's say for instance, some cool wrist watches, an uncommon slippers, smart phone lenses, or sandwich makers could be purchased from online. The items you see online are very rare elsewhere.

So therefore, don't be scared or anxious to search for what truly inspires you or the recipients.

I use this medium to say a big thank you to all those who wished me a happy birthday, those who sent me gifts those who sang for me, God bless Y'all.
