How to choose

Think of the next time you will meet: a card game, a board game or a box of sweets turns the gift into a plan.
For a best friend, personal beats expensive: a photo frame, a book you both love, a pendant.
If your friends exchange gifts in a group, agree a limit first so nobody is embarrassed.
