Good Birthday Gift Ideas For A New Acquaintance

Meeting someone new is always a nice thing to do. Having plenty of friends and acquaintances will guarantee you always have something to do and ensure you don�t feel lonely. Often you meet someone new and almost immediately after get an invite for his or her birthday party. But buying a birthday gift for someone you don�t yet know that well isn't all that easy. To help you out here are some good gift ideas to keep in mind.



A Houseplant Or A Flower Bouquet

If you are attending the birthday party at the person�s home then you can consider giving them a houseplant or a flower bouquet as a gift. This is a simple nice option and hopefully she or he isn�t allergic to flowers.

There are many good houseplant gift options that you can consider. For instance, a really lovely Bonsai tree is easy to keep alive and it doesn't usually cause allergy to people. Orchids are also really lovely gift options for an acquaintance.

A Gift Card

Yes, gift cards can seem a little thoughtless gifts but they are actually very good options for people who you don�t yet know that well. And the truth is that we all love getting a gift card because they allow us to get whatever it is that we really want.

So consider a gift card for a bookshop if you think they might be into it. For someone who is really fashionable you could consider a gift card to a specific fashion retailer. Or you can get gift cards to general retailers like Mark&Spencer or John Lewis so that the person can really spend the money on whichever section they want.

A Luxury Bottle Of Wine

Alcoholic drinks are always a good option for a new acquaintance. Naturally, you do have to make sure that they drink and don�t for instance suffer from a drinking problem. But in general a quality bottle can be a good option.

Buying a red wine gift is a classic option and suits both men and women. If you are also attending a birthday party at the person�s home then a wine gift bottle can be a really welcomed thing since the person can serve it with the dinner, for example.

A Well Thought Book

Books are also really good gift options and you generally will know something about the person that can help you purchase a book. If you met the person through a hobby then you can go with a book that has something to do with this hobby, for example.

If you know he is interested in politics or history then a book about a specific event or a political figure can be a good idea as well. Websites such as Good Reads can help you find the right books surrounding a specific topic.

The above ideas can hopefully help you get a good gift for a new acquaintance. Just make sure you use all the knowledge you have on the person and don�t be afraid for going with something very generic.

Marcus Allen loves finding gifts for his friends and family. He is a big fan of books and quality wines himself and is always ready to talk about these two subjects with people. He would also love to start gardening.
