Birthday Gift Guide: For When You Have No Clue What To Get

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Fairfield chapter.

I love birthdays. I mean, who doesn’t?! Celebrating my friends on their special day is so much fun. But while I pride myself on knowing them like the back of my hand, sometimes the struggle is just too real when it comes to buying them a birthday present.

At the end of the day, some friends are practically impossible to go gift shopping for. But to save you when their special day rolls around, we’ve put together a gift guide with presents that any birthday girl would love!

1. Under Water Camera

 

An underwater camera is a super fun and unique gift that will allow your friend to capture memories on the beach and under the sea!

2. Prosecco Pong Game

 

As soon as your friend unwraps this present, set it up and start playing to keep the party going!

3. Felt Letter Board

 

Whether you write “Happy Birthday” or your bestie’s favorite quote, a felt board is such a fun addition to their room décor.

4. Ticket Album

 

If your friend is a huge concert goer, getting them an album to keep all of their tickets in is a super thoughtful way to make sure they have a place to save all their music memories.

5. Cute Coffee Mug

 

You can never go wrong with a cute coffee mug and a gift card to Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts if you’re out of gift ideas!

6. What Do You Meme?

 

Nothing is better than game and wine nights with your besties, so a fun and lighthearted game will be the gift that keeps on giving!

7. Pool Float

 

Who wouldn’t want to float in a pool in a giant avocado?! This gift will be the perfect prop for your bestie’s Insta pics!

8. Duffle Bag

 

Whether it’s for a weekend getaway or hitting the gym, everyone needs an adorable duffle bag.

9. Attachable Selfie Light

 

Your friend will totally appreciate this gift because no matter where they are, they will always have the ~perfect~ selfie lighting.

10. Sunglasses

 

You can never have too many sunglasses, so getting the birthday girl a new pair to add to her collection is a perfect go-to gift.
