New Years Gift For Friends Novels & Stories

"Honey, I just found out I have to go on a week-long business trip. It's so last minute that I can't spend our anniversary with you. There are also some problems with the company's cash flow, so could you transfer me $100 million?" I sneered and looked at the familiar figure in the jewelry store, replying, "Sure, but there's a transfer document that needs your signature. I'll send you the soft copy!" He immediately hung up the call. Looking at the signed contract, I got out of the car and headed straight for the jewelry store.

"Tell me, what do men usually like for a birthday present?" "Whose birthday is it?" "A close friend of mine. He had his birthday a few days ago."

Laughter from adults and kids mixed with the popping of fireworks, filling the night with noise and warmth. I glanced at Isaac beside me and suddenly felt a little dazed. I'd never imagined that I'd be spending New Year's with him this year. Fireworks bloomed overhead while Shannon played nearby with a sparkler. At that moment, Isaac reached into his pocket, pulled out a gift box, and handed it to me. "Happy New Year." I froze for a moment. Ever since I got married, I hadn't received a New Year's gift like this. My parents thought I was grown up, and even I'd come to accept that holiday gifts were something meant for children.

Alexander patted my back. After the shower, I joined the others for breakfast and they surprised me with gifts. Each of them gave me a book about parenthood and a sex toy to use with Melissa. I liked the creativity. "And this is a gift from all of us." Alexander handed me a box with an expensive limited edition watch inside. It was very elegant and on the back was engraved: "Friends are the family we choose." They caught me off guard and I got emotional. "You guys are the most incredible idiots in the world! I'm lucky to have you as friends, thank you!" I replied, wiping my eyes.

Some remained unopened in the storage room. This New Year's, Abigail also received her share of gifts. She had only a few friends, but their bonds were strong. Felix and Melody, as was their tradition, went back to their hometown for the holidays and sent her local treats. These included traditional New Year's delicacies like festive cookies and sparkling cider. Abigail, thrilled with these treats, savored them immediately. Stella's and Susie's gifts were more lavish, featuring high-end skin care products, luxurious baby items, and clothes that the baby could wear for years. Amidst discovering these gifts, Abigail found time to video call her close-knit group of four friends.

I don’t want or need anything except maybe a new wingman. With cake and ice cream out of the way, we moved to gifts. This has changed a lot over the years. Mostly now, we get cards sometimes with cash, which seems to be the continued trend. The only exception was from our cousins’ kids. The Frost quartet gave each of us a finger painting they did. Under parental supervision, of course, so even baby Ryū could participate.

He asks. "Yes." I say. "Same goes for men. We sometime see a thing and think about the girl we are dating and if we think it would look beautiful on her or maybe make her happy, we buy it. They are just gifts, take it like that only." Davis says and I nod. "Thanks for the advice by the way. See you tomorrow. Good Night." I say when the lift comes. "Good Night." He says and waves at me as the lift closes. Well the benefits of having guy friends.

When the gift is finally revealed, he gasps in a delighted, childlike way, then tries to guess who got it for him. Regardless of whether or not I was his Secret Santa, I’d always get him his own gift too. The first year was turtledoves because I knew he liked the movie, but then I started my own tradition. The next year I got him a tea light holder that was designed to look like a tree branch. A metal partridge sat near the central “nest”. “Like the song,” I had explained to him while he hugged me.

She was actually doing it—staking her claim on the world, pushing forward no matter what anyone thought. And me? Sitting here in my glass tower, still hearing her voice from the café. Be friends with me first. Friends. I wasn’t sure what that meant. Not really. But I knew I wanted to be part of her victories. Even the small ones. Especially the small ones.
