Buying a gift for someone can be an exciting and fun-filled process, yet at the same time it can present challenges and be exceedingly frustrating at times. This is especially the case if you do not have a clue regarding what to buy the person whose birthday it is. Therefore, to give you a helping hand, this blog post takes a look at five of the best affordable gift ideas.

Statement jewelry

Buying a piece of statement jewelry is an assured way to make a great impression for someone’s birthday. A lot of the time individuals tend to opt for the obvious; such as a pair of stud earrings or a necklace with a heart pendant. Nevertheless, if you want your present to stand out from the crowd then an intricately designed necklace or a pair of bold chandelier earrings provide an attractive alternative. Of course, you will need to bear in the mind the person you are buying for; their style, personality and look.

Vintage photo frames

Buying a vintage photo frame is a unique and touching present. The vintage quality of the present adds a special element to the personal gift. You may even consider getting a photo printed in black and white or a faded vintage style to insert inside. This will give an antique quality to the present which will not only be original but extremely heart-warming.

Travel goodies

If you know someone who likes to travel or is going on holiday this year, you can base their birthday gift on this theme. You could get a toiletry bag and fill it with lots of creams and essentials. You could also buy something to keep them entertained while on the plan.

Books

A book makes a fantastic gift. It’s true because books are personal – they show you care enough to pick something specific. They are a way of sharing something that moved you, or made you laugh and I absolutely love them.

A personalized gift box

This is the perfect idea if you are unsure what to buy the person in question. Instead, you can buy a beautiful gift box and fill it with an array of little presents. You could make it a selection of random goods, or you could cater it to a relaxing night in by filling it with scented candles, body oils, a DVD and chocolates. This is a lot more thoughtful and impressionable then buying a ready-made gift set as it shows you have put in a great deal of effort.

So there you have it; the top five birthday ideas that won’t break the bank. If you go for one of the five mentioned in this blog post, then I am certain that you will purchase a present which is ensured to make a lasting impression on the person receiving it for all the right reasons.
