Sing, Write, Perform As Anniversary Gifts For Friends  

Talking about original anniversary gifts for friends, how about you gift them a piece of your talent? Whatever your special skill is, showcase that as a gift exclusively dedicated to the lovely couple. Recite the poem that you wrote about them, play the guitar, sing a song you wrote for them or perform a little funny skit. Trust us, your friends wouldn't be able to hold back their happy tears when they get such a heart-warming & creative gift.

Exclusive Film As Anniversary Gifts For Friends  

Make a film for your friends as their anniversary gift! Assemble all their couple photos, videos, mobile clips, bring them all together and render a film out of it! There are many easy to use software and apps where you can make a film, even on your phone. Use beautiful romantic couple songs, funny music bits and emotional songs as background music to go along with the film. Showcase it on a big screen on the anniversary party night as a surprise gift to your friends!

'Book a Date' As Anniversary Gifts For Friends 

A romantic anniversary date might sound like something the couple must be planning for themselves. How about you 'book a date' for them as their anniversary gift? Pick a fine restaurant or a lounge that they both love, book a table for them, arrange for an exclusive musical performance dedicated to them, order a nice cake and a bottle of exotic wine...keep surprising your friends the whole evening. Give instructions to the staff to present fresh flowers at moments when they least expect it!

Some options: Uber Lounge GK (NCR), Lord of the Drinks Meadow (NCR), Lounge Bar (Mumbai).

You know your friends best and what they like. Choose the anniversary gifts for friends keeping their preferences in mind. It's not always about materialistic gifts that matter. It's the thought and effort you put in them. Try visualising their reactions when they receive your gift. That's the best way to choose a gift for your friends. Don't wait for the last moment and prepare well in advance. Make their anniversary extra special by adding your personal touch of love and care to the gifts.
