Give an experience when you want the gift to be remembered, not to sit on a shelf. Match it to her personality: spa days and tastings for the laid-back friend, workshops for the creative one, climbing or rafting for the active one. Experiences for two work best of all, because the gift turns into a shared story.
A voucher in an envelope looks a little underwhelming. Add an object that hints at it: clay for a pottery class, a guidebook for a trip, a program for a play. Or hide the voucher and let her find it by following notes.
If your friend already has plenty of stuff, check out our list of gifts for a friend who has everything.
Go for something universal: dinner at a nice restaurant, a spa day or theater tickets. Or give a voucher that lets her choose from several activities.
Only if you just hand over an envelope. Add a hint object or a little scavenger hunt, and giving it becomes part of the gift.
