Gifts to Give Your Single Friends

Top Presents For Your Unattached Pals

Sep 6, 2007 Cherie Burbach

Stumped on what to get that friend who has everything but a relationship?

The things people covet change as their lives do. So if you’re out of touch with the single life, you may find it difficult to find that perfect gift for your unattached friend. Singles are easy to buy for, if you know a little about their world.

Here are a few gift ideas your single friends will appreciate:

Netflix Gift Subscription

(Or a Gift Certificate To a Local Movie Theater)

Singles tend to see more movies that the married folks of the world. If they aren’t viewing films on dates, then they might see them with friends or just as an activity to do by themselves. A gift certificate to Netflix will save them the cost of a rental, and they can use it on a date or for a night alone.

Starbuck’s Card

Coffee shops are a great place for singles. Not only are they are good for meeting dates, but they offer a welcoming environment for those just wanting to spend a few moments relaxing with some java and a book. Coffee places also are a popular hangout for singles, so your friend may go with the intention of reading the Sunday paper and leave with a date.

Bookstore Gift Certificate

Allow your single friend the ability to read up on the latest fiction book or magazine. Many bookstores also offer events such as book clubs, author talks, and other presentations, so your friend can go on a day they have nothing else planned and come home inspired.

Prepaid Lessons

Maybe your friend has always wanted to learn to golf, fix their car, or cook. Offer them the opportunity to get out and conquer their desires and fears with a lesson on racecar driving or deep sea diving. Whatever your friend’s hidden ambition, they’ll surely appreciate lessons to something they wouldn’t normally try without a nudge.

Home Cooked Meals Ready to Heat and Serve

Give your friend a helping hand the next time they have a date but offering to cook a meal for them ahead of time. Make it easy to reheat, then leave them on their own to accept the compliments for a nice dinner.

Tuition

You don’t have to foot the bill for an entire college education, but if your friend has always wanted to speak French or is only a few classes away from finishing their degree, an offer for tuition assistance may just be the kick they’ve always wanted. Singles today are busier than ever and can fall victim to overwork and stress, so a little time invested in themselves will help improve their outlook.

Membership to a Local Art Museum

Give your friend a lifetime worth of inspiration with a year’s worth of sculpture and art. Many museums today offer events and lectures as well.

Offer to Help Them Give Back

Team up with your pal to help the community. Build a house, feed the hungry, or work on a clothing drive for the poor. Your friend will appreciate the company, and you’ll both feel better doing some good for someone else.
