Everyone, regardless of age, gender, or cultural background, has at least one friend who seems not only to always be right but also has everything they could possibly need and everything that they want.
When it comes to purchasing a birthday gift for such a person, therefore, it can be incredibly frustrating when researching your options, so, with this in mind, continue reading to learn of the top four gift ideas for that ‘know-it-all-‘ friend.
1. Grammar Police Product
If your loved one is constantly correcting your punctuation and grammar, both in conversation and regarding the written word (even in a quick text message), then the ideal gift would be a t-shirt with a classic grammatical correction emblazoned across the front.
Such phrases, which are readily available on a t-shirt or hoodie and will serve the dual purpose of a gift they will love, as well as warning anyone they come into contact with when they are wearing the top to avoid them, include:
- ‘I Can’t Stand “Unnecessary Quotes”‘
- ‘I Am Silently Correcting Your Grammar’
- ‘There, Their & They’re’
- ‘Synonym Rolls: Just Like Grammar Used To Be’
- ‘For Some People, Grammar Is Relative. For Other People, Grammar Is A Relative’
2. Complimentary Make-Up & Toiletry Products
If you are looking for a more passive-aggressive way to both, simultaneously provide a birthday present which will make them smile and criticize them at the same wonderful time, look no further than an over complimentary make-up, beauty or toiletry product.
From handbag mirrors, make-up bags, and lipsticks to shower gels, shampoo, and conditioners, there is a huge current trend for quotes emblazoned onto nearly every product imaginable, and if you choose a sarcastic quote, they will be the one that is smiling on their birthday.
3. Novelty Swear Words Merch
Another fantastic gift idea for that friend in your life who you often love to hate is a novelty mug, stationery gift set, or other related gift, which is certainly for over eighteens only.
If you have a family member, a close friend, or even a partner who thinks that swear words are part and parcel of a normal conversation, then a perfect birthday gift to choose would be funny swear gift ideas for trendy and fashionable online retailers.
4. A Humble Gift
Instead of celebrating your friend’s arrogance and self-righteousness, you could always choose a birthday gift that will hopefully serve them a much-needed slice of proverbial humble pie.
There is a multitude of gift ideas that will help bring your know-it-all friend back down to earth, including but in no way limited to the following:
- Sponsoring an Endangered Species of Animal
- Application to work at an Animal Rescue Center
- Volunteering Application to work at a Food Bank
Alternatively, you could choose a gift that gives back to one or more charitable causes or else one that helps to work towards protecting the natural environment, such as an ornate reusable water bottle or a bag made entirely from recycled cans or plastic bags.
