What’s Christmas without a gift for your…squad? Does anyone still use that word? Anyway, your group of friends needs a gift so if you’re close, you can try getting them all a matching gift. Now the hard part about getting everyone a matching gift is that you have to make sure it’s something everyone likes, will find useful, or, at the very least, not useless/annoying. Things get more confusing if you have a mixed-sex inner circle of friends since they’ll have diverging preferences.
But as for the pros? Group gifts for a friend group are simple and straightforward. No one has to get upset about getting a “lesser” gift than another friend and you don’t have to think too much about getting everybody a personalized present.
A Keychain With Their Initials
You’ve probably seen this one coming miles away, but the good thing about it is that it’s a semi-personalized gift that can suit just about everybody in your friend group. That and it’s a safe bet. Besides, look how cute and colorful it is. It’ll definitely look great in that one photo you and your friends inevitably take together while holding the gift.
A Mini Cocktail Kit
Okay, a quick disclaimer. They don’t ship this cocktail kit with alcohol. Your friends are going to have to get that themselves, but it does come with the cocktail mixer, jigger, spoon, and recipe card which they can all reuse later on. It helps that it comes with a mini travel tin to carry it in so you can all mix cocktails the next time you go on a road trip together.
Aside from Margarita sets, they’ve got Mojito, Cosmo, and Champagne cocktail kits.
A Glass and Flask Set
Now here’s a gift you can share as a group during your trips and also have for personal use. This flask and shot glass set is made of stainless steel so you can trust that it’ll survive whatever adventures you have in mind for each other. Just imagine this, your friends having one each, and a music festival. With multiple flasks between all of you, you’re not going to run out of booze anytime soon.
A Sturdy Mug in Their Favorite Color
Yes, it’s a boring gift but we’re all getting a little older every day and as that happens, it’s the boring yet thoughtful gifts that become the most memorable. If your friends love their warm drinks and enjoy a cute cup (or even better, they don’t have a lot of tableware), this is the gift to give them.
By the way!
Did you know we’re launching a Kickstarter campaign? In the next few months, our campaign for ‘Gentle Jack: The Party Game for Bad Friends‘ goes live! Visit the official website or follow the Kickstarter page to stay in the loop.
The Le Creuset stoneware mug comes in so many colors you’re sure to find your friends’ favorite color or at least, their second or third favorite one. Hey, Christmas shopping is hectic. You gotta pick your battles.
Oh, it’s also insulated, has a scratch-resistant glaze, and is microwave and dishwasher-safe. Since it’s got a non-stick interior, you could gift it with a recipe card for a mug cake. How’s that for personalized yet cheap?
A Tent You Can Use Together
Remember all those trips and vacations you and your friends said you would totally go on? Yeah, they didn’t happen, did they? Well, why not give everyone a reason to be excited and committed to going on a trip with this Coleman Dome Tent? this 8-person tent is weatherproof and has welded corners so your zzzs don’t get interrupted even if it rains during your camping/hiking/beach vacation.
Of course, when it comes to tents “8 person” is really more like 6 person because of how cramped tents are in reality. If you’re lucky enough to have a massive circle of friends, consider getting two or three of these for your trips.
