Long story short, I was in an argument with a friend nearly 2 years ago and I've never heard from her since. The friend moved to another province and I know the address. And I find out yesterday that it was my from misunderstanding that the argument happened. What are some nice gift ideas?

 

[Papi]

Flowers. And Cognac.

Was the argument:

"Beer WON'T make me fat!"

 

[Jill Sandwich]

May I suggest...?

 

[beerbelly]

:lol Come on be serious.

About the flower suggestion, I wouldn't know how that works since she lives in another province! it would probably die before it arrives

Can't you call a flower delivery business near her or something?

Seriously, flowers.

I dislike the idea of an apology gift--because every time they look at it, they'll remember how you messed up.

That's why flowers are perfect, they die.

But there's nothing to look at after the flowers are dead and the Cognac has been drunk.

Simple, get chocolate/candy/something that will die.

Send her a letter stating that it was your misunderstanding and that you are sorry, also how you value her friendship. If she doesn't have your contact number include it. If you want to send a gift I think the ideal would be a book, perhaps literature, or a book about friendship. After that the ball is in her court.

Good Luck.

It took you two years to figure out you are wrong and the woman is right? tsc

 

[Dilbert]

Yeah. Forget about a gift; it's been two years. Just write a letter apologizing. That's all you should need to do. If that's not enough for her, she's not a friend worth keeping anyway.

I would definitely agree with this advice. Get in contact with her -- letter, phone call, whatever -- and say, "Hey, I've been thinking about you lately, and miss talking with you." Launching into some deep discussion over who was right or wrong is kind of intense, especially if it's the first thing you say. Unless it was a MAJOR falling out, try to see whether or not they are even still upset with you.

I totally agree, a lengthy, sincere handwritten letter should do the trick. 1 page. At least. :lol Good luck with your endeavors!

Hello, Drinky.

 

[maynerd]

Why do you want to be her friend? Are you trying to get some action? If not then forget about it there are plenty of other people out there that you can be friends with.

What about people who think with their testicles?

 

[Slurpy]

2 years? Let it go. If you actually cared about this friend, you would have fixed it up before 2 years, regardless of the situation. If you haven't, I doubt she/you care anyway.

IMO a heartfelt letter will do you more good than flowers or candy. I dunno, I just find the idea of a gift to be a little gauche under these circumstances; it reeks too much of "peace offering" sentiment when considering how much time has elapsed since your last association with this girl. :lol

She likely forgave your mistake long ago and will be happy to hear from you again. Writing her a letter in apology lamenting on how much you have missed her company and regretted the argument is more than enough of an effort on your part in making amends with her.

Good luck!
