Treating You and Your Friends at the Same Time




Gift ideas are one-sided; you usually give your friend something but in return, you don’t get much back besides a warm and fuzzy feeling inside of your heart. Of course, that doesn’t mean gifts should always be so one-sided. There are many ways to treat not only yourself but also your friends with a single purchase. These gifts are perfect for tight groups of friends that regularly hang out with each other, making the gift practical in many different situations.

So without further ado, here are a couple of gift ideas that will not only treat your friends but you as well!

Novelty Board Games

Playing board games is somewhat of a lost art. In the past, it used to be one of the only ways to get a steady stream of entertainment, but that has been somewhat replaced by video games and on-demand video. However, that doesn’t mean board games are completely obsolete.

There are many fun novelty board games and serious ones that make perfect sources of entertainment for a fun and quiet night in. If you gift a fun board game such as an updated version of Monopoly or the ever so popular game Settlers of Catan, not only will you be giving a fantastic gift to your friend, but you’ll also give you and your group something fun to play when you decide you don’t want to head out for the night.

Tickets to See Something

Whether it’s your favourite band, an upcoming sports game or a show that you’ve always wanted to watch together, you could give you and your friends a fantastic gift by buying some tickets to something. Of course, you’ll all need to be on the same page if you want to make sure your group of friends enjoys something, and this can get quite expensive.

But it doesn’t have to be such a costly gift. For instance, ANZAC day tickets are relatively cheap if you and your friends are into AFL. However, if you have a lot of disposable income and want to consider going the extra mile, then don’t hesitate to whisk you and your friends off to an overseas holiday destination to enjoy sand, sun and beaches together. Just make sure that if you do plan an event that involves travelling, you first make sure everyone’s schedules are free and they all have time to attend.

Karaoke Night

Karaoke is extremely popular among Asian countries, but why hasn’t it kicked off in the west? Karaoke is often done in bars or open mic sessions in the west, but there are still some locations that offer private karaoke bookings where you can sing behind closed doors, drink till you’re full and party til closing time.

After a couple of drinks, some delicious food and a bit of cheering on, you and your friends will be cackling the night away as you watch each other attempt to cover classic hits, golden oldies and newer modern songs. It’s an extremely fun way to spend a night and you’ll be surprised at how well (or horribly) your friends can sing
