Sentimental Gift for best friend is the one which should you both can feel for together and even if you are not physically close together that gift should remind your best friend about you and should tug at his or her heart.
That said there is no such thing as that a sentimental card cannot be for a guy. Guys can also be sentimental and usually will love a sentimental gift for him.
For getting a sentimental gift you need to think about events in your life which happened to you along with your best friend. Then you need to take that event and try to work out the best way to package that as a memory gift.
How do you that is the question. You can for example take an event say when you first met or the day you both to a competition and she helped you win. Try top package that as memory which means that you take the photographs from that event put that into a special photo show and add some songs to it or you actually use a DVD records to create a DVD from that set of photographs.
The other way to do that is that you can actually buy a sentimental gift from the shop which resembles some event that occurred to you together.
In my case for example I met my then future husband through my best friend and that was as always a memory for me. For her next birthday I am actually sponsoring her ticket to a concert in the town where we both lived and she introduced me to my husband.
Another sentimental gift for best friend can be a collage filled up of the bets memories that you and your best friend shared but yes make sure that the collage is unique or else get it done by a professional else you can ruin the very essence of it.
Scrap books are passé with everyone for lack of ideas doing a scrap book. You need to try something new which means that you need to very very creative.
You can also get silver charms and trinkets for your girl friend. You can plan something which can be very sentimental for example plan a party of your best friends close relatives and give her a surprise. That can be your sentimental gift to her on her birthday.
If you have a guy you can still be use the above examples for a sentimental gift for him but then some choices like trinket box cannot be used. But yes you can still choose to have the photo route or the throwing a party for him.
Best part is to think of gifts that as guys you did together and then use the old trick of packaging that on a DVD or a movie recorder. Add some good songs in the background. You can get some professional halp if you want for the same.
