Your best friend’s birthday is coming up soon, and you want to make it special this year with a unique gift? Finding the perfect idea to make a splash on this occasion can be challenging. The obstacle to giving a grand birthday gift is often the lack of funds. We give you some tips to please your friend on their birthday this year.

The online pot: the best way to raise an adequate amount for a beautiful gift

The online pot, also known as a piggy bank online, allows you to collect money through the internet. The person who came up with the idea or has a project creates the common pot on a specialized site or platform. This is usually done in just a few clicks by filling out a form that requests information such as:

• the name of the pot,
• the target amount,
• the minimum or suggested donation,
• the deadline,
• the contact details of the initiator.

Once registration is completed, the creator shares the common pot with their friends, family, or professional partners via social media, media outlets, websites, emails, etc. Each interested person can make their donation using the URL link and one of the available payment methods. At the end of the collection, the total amount gathered is transferred to the bank account of the pot’s initiator to be spent according to the initial goals set.

This 2.0 fundraising concept is a great way to raise a significant amount to offer a big and beautiful gift to your best friend on their birthday. You won’t have to break your piggy bank if you want to celebrate with something special for another year in their life and by their side. It’s also a practical solution to gather money in a short time, show solidarity to your friend, and have the means for a gift that’s unattainable if you stick to your own budget.

All you need to do is create an account on a platform and customize a birthday common pot. Then share the link with your mutual friends, your best friend’s family members, and other close ones or acquaintances. Look for a secure and reliable online pot platform. Be mindful of the commissions applied, the available payment methods, and the terms for cashing out the collected funds. Also, familiarize yourself with the additional options the platform offers for organizing a successful birthday party.

Dare to finance a dream trip for her with the money from the pot

A great way to pamper your best friend this year for her birthday is to make one of her travel dreams come true. You surely know about her wishes to go to this or that city in France or to visit other countries in particular. With the money from the online pot, give her a treat by financing her weekend or a few days trip.

Buy her her plane, train, or bus tickets depending on the destination and plan the stay. Create the travel itinerary by indicating things to do and see:

• the tourist sites to visit,
• the activities during the stay,
• the place(s) to sleep, etc.

Considering the schedule, plan for the transportation reservation fees once at the destination and for accommodations. Also, reserve part of the budget for food, souvenir shopping, and activities or sightseeing tours. Don’t forget the expenses for administrative formalities, including any travel insurance and vaccination fees.

Pass along the information by giving her the purchased plane, train, or bus tickets for her trip. This will make her eyes light up. Then let her know the planned itinerary for the stay, the scheduled activities, and the budget available for transport, accommodation, food, etc. Don’t forget to inform her that this is a group gift made with the help of contributors to an online pot that you organized. She will then be able to thank everyone who contributed to making this dream come true.

Gift her a stunning jewelry set if you get a sufficient budget

If the money raised from the online pot does not reach the budget needed for a dream trip, a jewelry set is a beautiful alternative for a special gift. This collection of jewelry will bring a touch of charm and elegance to all of your best friend’s looks. It will express your affection and love for her.

Jewelry made of precious metals and/or set with valuable stones will especially give a special touch to her birthday this year. Since each gemstone has a meaning, it will also be a good way to express your feelings toward her. Each time she sees or wears this jewelry, she will remember you and all those who gifted her this splendid present.

You will find various beautiful jewelry sets available for the occasion. Some consist only of matching earrings and a necklace, while others go further with a bracelet and/or a ring. It is possible to opt for a particular combination of jewelry pieces based on her taste in terms of style or harmony. Jewelers offer classic models, but for the occasion, you can order a beautiful combination of personalized jewelry.

Buy her tickets to see her favorite artist!

Tickets to a concert or event featuring her favorite artist could be the gift that will delight your best friend on her birthday this year. It will be proof to her that you share her life and keep her dreams and desires in mind. If it’s a singer, for example, reserve a good seat for her to attend their next concert.

If it’s rather a movie actor or actress, buy tickets to allow her to see the premiere of the next film they participated in. These events gather all the actors and the film crew, allowing movie lovers to meet their favorite stars. Purchasing tickets for the upcoming Cannes Film Festival is also a great idea.

If your best friend has other achievable dreams that you know of, you can help her realize one of them this year, on her birthday. She will feel a great joy, making this day unforgettable.
