Here's what I think: one of the most meaningful gifts you can give a friend is a card full of signatures.
It's so simple - you buy a card and you hand it around. Since most people will sign anything they can get their hands on (it's a power struggle thing) you are practically guaranteed interesting, random, completely hilarious signatures and messages.
It's great fun to watch a card evolve from a blank page to doodles and scribbles and print. And it's a gem for the receiver to sift through and to keep - look back at it and you can say 'I was singing a crazy song at the time and someone made the camel sing it too' or 'we were on the verge of winning a marching competition' or 'I have very random friends.' (Declarations of eternal love? I mean, seriously?)
One day we will look back and laugh.
