The Best Holiday Gifts to Represent Your Friendship
With the holidays coming up, it’s time to start thinking about gifts for
your friends. The best gifts are ones that evoke the bond between you,
lending a personal touch to the gift and reminding you of the emotions
that brought you together.
Figurative Sculptures of Friends
Art is always a good choice for a gift during the holidays. Each time the recipient sees the piece of art on display, they will think of you, the giver. Consider giving figurines as a way to express your feelings while leaving the interpretation of the piece up to each of you. An artistic figure with two or three friends interacting could represent your time together. A carved figurative sculpture of a little girl holding flowers could represent the love and friendship you feel for each other, or it could be a wish for health and happiness. Calla lilies, for example, represent a pure and simple wish for beauty in our lives, something you can pass to your friend in a thoughtful present.
Thoughtful Ornaments for the Holidays
Ornaments are taken out every year to decorate a Christmas tree, and each ornament has a history attached to it. They can hold memories of the person who gave the ornament, where the ornament was bought, and more. Artistic figurine ornaments offer a chance to recognize, celebrate, and remember all of the year’s achievements. Perhaps choose a woman holding a book to commemorate your friend’s graduation, or an angel with wire wings and her hands together in prayer to represent how you keep your friend in your thoughts. Ornaments will delight the recipient every year they pull them out to decorate their Christmas tree.
Wonderous Musicals for Celebration
Similar to a music box, a musical is a figure on a slowly spinning base that plays music. These are perfect for your music-loving friend, especially if the two of you grew up playing music together. The figures can hold as much meaning as the music. You might choose an angel dancing to “March” from The Nutcracker Suite to celebrate the vivaciousness of your friend, or a woman with birds landing on her outstretched arms set to Tchaikovsky’s “Waltz of the Flowers” representing the joy and happiness your friendship brings. Musical figures are wonderful, multifaceted gifts.
Keepsake Boxes for Memories
If you and your friend have a rich history together, full of objects that conjure bright memories, consider a memory box. These boxes can hold the treasures that remind your friend of your friendship, no matter the distance between the two of you. One with a carved bas relief of two girls sitting and talking is perfect to represent the hours you have spent talking, and the supportive friendship you share.
