There’s always that one friend in the group who seems to get into the most precarious situations…if you’re not driving her home because she’s locked her keys in the car AGAIN, then you’re buying her drinks because she accidentally flushed her wallet down the toilet.  Then there was the time she called you from some hicktown gas station payphone in the middle of the night asking if you could come and pick her up.  You didn’t even want to ask how she got there or why her hair smelt like cow shit…and what was up with the red rubber boots?

Have a friend that’s having a shitty day and needs a little pick-me-up?  Do you send her flowers?  No…they just end up wilting.  Do you send her chocolates?  No…then she’ll just blame you when she eats the entire box and gains a pound.  Trust me, you don’t want that.  So take the safe route and send her something that’s going to make her smile.  Sometimes that’s all it takes to brighten her day.

So it’s her birthday again and you just don’t know what to get her.  She already has every sort of material thing she could ever want or need.  I mean do you really want to be known as the “predicable friend” with the “predicable gift”?  Hell no!  You want to give her a gift you know she’s going to appreciate…even if you are on a tight budget.
