How to choose for a friend
- Think about how you usually spend time together, then pick something that adds to those moments.
- Choose party-style card games for social friends and strategy board games for those who like a challenge.
- Pick a pet bed or toy sized for their animal, since pet owners love when you remember their companion.
- For a friend who travels often, a sturdy carry-on or portable speaker gets real use.
Usually safe to skip
- Inside-joke gifts that are funny for a day but have no lasting use.
- Games with long rules for friends who prefer quick, casual fun.
- Big-ticket items that make the exchange feel uneven or create pressure to match.
