Summer Birthday Gift Ideas

Hi Everyone! 

Gifts for your friends in the summer can be tricky - especially if you didn't see each other over the summer, however I came up with a couple summer birthday gift ideas - ranging from presents for your friend that is literally attached to the hip and lives at your house, to the friend that was jet setting all over the globe and you barely even got a "Hey! What's up?" text.

Z Gallerie - Pasadena Frame

1. Picture Frame w/ Memory

This first present is a great idea because once school rolls around that will be all that is on your minds, but if you pick a funny picture of the two of you from that beach trip you were so excited for, and put it in a cute frame - ta da! you have your present! Everytime she looks at that picture she will think of the carefree memory and will easily calm her from that stressful AP Chem test she has to cram for! These colorful ones from Z Gallerie come in a range of colors and are too cute! 

Cafe Press - California Baseball Cap

2. Momento from Trip

Another present for that friend that  has basically moved in - a momento from a trip you took together! Whether it is a baseball hat, cheesy t-shirt or even a keychain, whenever she looks at it she will think of that trip and who gave it to her! My cousin visited this summer, and I think getting her a  baseball hat would be a cute idea because I know that while she was here she wanted to pick something up and she will remember her trip forever! #Summer2k13

Target - Merona® Zig Zag Phone Case Wristlet

3. Wristlet/Coin Purse

Do you see that adorable wristlet that you remember your girl friend talking about for ages? This would be a great present because it is something you know she will use! You could even stash a gift card to the local coffee place which makes those to die for Caramel frappes! If you're looking for a more inexpensive option, this chevron wristlet from Target won't break the bank! 

Lilly Pulitzer - Agenda

4. Planner

This is another one of those useful presents that you know she will use! You could pick up a cute Lilly Pulitzer planner and using colorful pens, fill it with special dates, whether it is birthdays, traditions, or even just writing little notes in here and there for her to seem! You could attach a fun pen - and whula! one less school supply she has to worry about picking up!

Lilly Pulitzer - Tumbler 

5. Tervis/Lilly Tumbler

This is the present that is perfect for your friend that is always on the go - whether it is because she is always running into first period at the last second or her strenuous list of extra curricular activities. She can just fill it up with whatever beverage and she is good to go! I'm loving this Lilly tumbler right now in the pattern Lucky Charms!

Do you have a birthday in the summer? What's on your list?
