Gift Ideas for Girlfriends
I mentioned before that I love to give silly gifts, and that’s definitely true. A couple of the best gift ideas for girlfriends I’m sharing today can be given to anyone who regularly asks to open their gifts early, but they are perfect for girlfriends who like expensive gifts too…
Silly Underwear
If you’re looking for fun gift ideas for girlfriends, I love fun-prints on underwear. Professional friends tend to especially love these, as they can be worn under businesswear, for a sneaky dopamine hit on boring office days. I especially love the Bawbags women’s boyshort underwear range. Make sure you register before you place an order though, as they’ll email you a 10% off code when you sign up!
I love that despite their fun designs, they are made with 95% organic cotton and 5% elastane, which ensures they are breathable and fit comfortably. The company also donates loads to charity, so it’s a worthwhile gift within a fun gift, so to speak.
Upside-Down Wine Glass
If you’re shopping for someone who loves a glass of wine, why not consider this upside-down wine glass? It’s definitely a conversation starter, and might just confuse the recipient enough to end with them spilling the contents down themselves. My advice: Proceed with caution, and give it to them outside, to spare the carpets!
I can imagine this glass bamboozling a fair few visitors too, so it’ll be the gift that keeps on giving! I’ve actually ordered one of these for my sister for Christmas – can’t wait to see if she figures it out before she spills the contents of her festive tipple!
A Lump of Coal
I’m a stickler for opening gifts on the designated day, and not encouraging people to open anything early. So when my room mate spent weeks begging to open their Christmas gifts early, I knew exactly what to do! Every time they asked to open something early, I reminded them that Santa left coal for those who did so. On Christmas Eve, I “finally relented”, and agreed they could open one gift – of my choice – early… You can imagine the belly laughs when they opened a literal lump of coal!
Photo Socks
When it comes to present ideas for girlfriends, my partner is usually one step ahead of me! One of my favourite ever gifts from him was a pair of socks with my dogs’ faces on them. I was gifted these socks in 2020, and I still wear them regularly. They make me smile so much, and are always a great conversation starter. The left is them the day I got them, and the right is how they look now – after almost 5 years of regular wear.
When it comes to giving something that’s both fun, but also special, I think photo socks are perfect. I can’t explain how many times I have smiled and thought of both my partner and my puppies when I’ve taken off my boots and seen these socks on my feet. The dopamine hit I get every time I see them makes them one of my all-time favourite gifts.
Quirky Art Work
My final suggestion when it comes to finding fun gift ideas for girlfriends is quirky wall art. I love music and quirky one-liners. So it’ll come as no surprise that I have some pretty cool (or questionable) wall art saved to my gift list. Some of the pieces I have saved to my wish list are on the photo below.
What do you think? Would you hang any of these up in your house? I appreciate that my wall art choices aren’t for everyone, but my sense of humour is pretty dark, so these pieces fit me to a tea!
