I hit the sales or the discount stores like Nordstum Rack, Ross, TJ Max. I have gotten some very wonderful gifts there for 60-70% off. Hard to beat.

I like to make friends a birthday lunch...maybe have a few mutual friends over. I make them something they really enjoy. It is simple...not that expensive and for most of my women friends they love that someone else cooks for them. I usually give them the recipe and a bottle of whatever wine it is that I've served them that day and if it is in season... or flowers from my garden...otherwise I usually buy some local dried lavender from a nearby farm and put it in a simple mason jar. It seems that it is genuinely appreciated.

Another thing I have done is similar. Make lunch at my house and then off to a matinee movie together. I don't know about you but the time I get to spend with my friends one on one is too rare. This is always a happy time.

Try folding the stars, get a lot of color paper and cut to a lot of strips, guess you can make a lot of stars. Else you can make greeting cards using computer and write everything good to all your friends.
