✮ gift guide!!

Kyra - Updated 09/18/25

cuz i swear i have great gift ideas but as soon as somebody’s birthday comes around i can’t think of shit (even though i’m a firm believer of just straight up asking people what they want, some people prefer surprises or just “don’t want anything” which is bullshit i will get something wether you like or not, but yeah this list is for these instances)

homemade
birthday cake!!
nothing says “i appreciate you” more than standing in the kitchen for hours stressing over getting the icing perfect
roasted almonds
maybe it’s the german in me talking but if i’m getting these from someone for christmas i’ll give em a smooch right then and there

candles
a little boring but great as like “a filler gift” for when you don’t think the actual gift is enough
keychains
this seems obvious but like, who wouldn’t want a cool keychain
concert earplugs
i think friends that you know like going to concerts would appreciate these and it kind of shows that you like, care about their health/well being
funko pops
of their favorite movie/show/band because who doesn’t like a little figurine of their interest
chériexx bullet lipsticks
i feel like alternative friends would love these, they’re so cool
stickers
again, as like a little add on or filler from small artists on etsy preferably
special edition
a pretty edition of a book you know they like is a much safer option than buying a book and not knowing if they’ll like it
book nooks
i feel like you can’t justify buying these yourself so they would be great as a present especially for your reader girly friends
mavala mini nail polishes
very cute, not too expensive and they’re supposed to be really good quality
plushies
a little basic in my opinion but it could be cute, maybe get one of those with a hot water bottle on the inside(?)
lego sets
there’s so many to choose from i feel like there’s something for everyone
scratch off posters
there’s pretty much one for everything , i’ve seen one of a map, for movies, animes, books just something for everyone
physical media
especially when it’s something they collect, so like cds, vinyls, dvds, whatever
twilight filter keychain
i’m pretty sure @prettycandypinco on tiktok is the original creator of these and if you have a friend that likes twilight these are literally perfect
vinyl coasters
put these together with an actual vinyl to gift and it would be so cute
“c. h. beck wissen” books
this is a german example but i’m pretty sure you could find like small non fiction/educational books in english as well, get like 3 of topic you know they’re interested in and you’re good to go
blind boxes
smiskies, skullpanda, hirono, nyota, peachriot, mofusand, etc. there’s so many cute ones to choose from
