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 impress during this celebration can be challenging. The obstacle to giving a grand birthday gift is often the lack of funds. We provide you with some tips to please your friend on her birthday this year.

The online pot: the best way to gather enough money for a beautiful gift

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

• the name of the pot,
• the target amount,
• the minimum or suggested donation,
• the deadline,
• the contact information of the organizer.

Once registered, the creator shares the common fund with friends, family, or professional partners via social media, media outlets, websites, emails, etc. Each interested person makes their donation using the URL link and one of the available payment methods. At the end of the collection period, the gathered sum is transferred to the bank account of the person who initiated the pot to be spent according to the initially defined goals.

This 2.0 fundraising concept is a great way to raise a significant amount to give your best friend a grand and beautiful gift on her birthday. You won’t have to break your piggy bank if you want to celebrate her special day and another year in her life alongside you. It is especially a practical solution to collect money in a short time, to show solidarity to your friend, and to afford a gift that would be out of reach if you stuck to your own budget.

All you need to do is create an account on a platform and customize a birthday common fund. Then share the link with your mutual friends, your best friend’s family members, and other close contacts. For this, look for a secure and reliable online pot platform. Pay attention to the applied fees, the available payment methods, and the terms for cashing in the collected funds. Also, be aware of 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 her desires to visit certain cities in France or to travel to other countries in particular. With the money from the online pot, delight her by financing a weekend or a few days trip.

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

• the tourist sites to visit,
• the activities during the stay,
• the place or places to sleep, etc.

Considering the schedule, plan for transportation reservation fees once at the destination and accommodation costs. Also reserve part of the budget for food, souviner shopping, and activities or sightseeing. Don’t forget 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 light up her eyes with joy. Then inform her about the planned itinerary for the stay, the scheduled activities, and the budget available for transportation, accommodation, food, etc. Don’t forget to let her know that this is a group gift made with the help of participants in the online pot you organized. She will then be able to thank everyone who contributed to making this dream come true.

Gift her a beautiful jewelry set if you gather enough budget

If the money raised from the online pot does not reach the budget needed for a dream trip, a jewelry set is a lovely alternative for a special gift. This combination 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 add a special touch to her birthday this year. Since each precious stone has a meaning, it will also be a good way to share your feelings for her. With every glance or whenever she wears this jewelry, she will remember you and all the people who gifted her this splendid present.

You will find various beautiful jewelry sets on the market 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 depending on her style or harmony preferences. Jewelers offer classic models, but for the occasion, you can order a beautiful combination of customized jewelry.

Buy her tickets to see her favorite artist!

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

If it’s rather a film actor or actress, buy tickets to allow her to attend the premiere of the next movie in which he or she participated. These events gather all the actors and the film crew, allowing movie lovers to meet their favorite stars. Purchasing tickets for the next Cannes Film Festival is also a good 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 great joy, making this day unforgettable.
