All of us have a friend who is a "Tom" -- a mega diva who likes nice things, celebrities, and constant praise. It may be hard finding the perfect gift for them because they're not only high maintenance but also have very specific preferences and opinions. You wouldn't want your friendship with them to be dunzo by buying them the wrong gift. As long as you follow these very specific suggestions perfectly, you should be fine.
A Binder
This is a total Leslie move, but we all know that Tom loves Leslie (deep down). Except, instead of a giant binder stuffed with project ideas, give them an empty binder in which they can fill with their non-stop, groundbreaking and game-changing ideas.
Money
It's no surprise that Toms like money. They enjoy nice things and have developed a specific lifestyle in which they maintain by having ridiculous, expensive things. He is also always looking for business opportunities, and in order to invest in something, he needs a large amount of money that he can't guarantee he'll get back. So, money is the perfect gift for someone who has a lifestyle and entrepreneurship mentality like Tom.
Music (Because they already have an iPod)
Specifically, the best of R&B. I would be careful in selecting music, though, because it has to be amazing in order to not offend them in thinking they'd like a bad song. Tom requires a series of rigorous tests before a song can be considered a "banger." He once accidentally downloaded a Lumineers song and had to "throw away his whole computer just to be safe." We wouldn't want a tragic moment like that to be repeated... So, maybe give them an iTunes gift card and let them decide if it's worthy or not.
Anything With Their Name Or Face On It
Toms are
Red Carpet Shoe Insoles
For someone who is obsessed with fame and famous people, you can't go wrong with this thoughtful gift that just keeps on giving. If your friend is a true Tom-type diva, though, they will probably already have them.
Moisturizers, Face Masks or Exfoliators
Tom likes his skin to be baby soft and is constantly talking about eye creams and other fancy products that help him to maintain his perfect skin treatment. The Tom in your life enjoys things like lotion, so they would appreciate you if you got them a gift they can actually use.
A Mini-Horse
R.I.P. Li'l Sebastian
OK, not just any mini-horse. If you could bring back Li'l Sebastian from sweet horsey heaven, that would be preferable. Every person in their right mind loves Li'l Sebastian and Tom is no exception. But, I guess if you for some reason can't make that happen, a little puppy would do.
Gift Cards
When in doubt, a gift card is a perfect gift. Preferably to places like spas, expensive jewelry stores, ridiculous clothing stores, and high-end restaurants. Nothing could be better for your Tom than a ton of money to their favorite places so they can treat themselves whenever they
I hope these pointers are helpful for treating that special diva in your life. Toms can be tricky, and I wouldn't want to see you fail and possibly lose a friend because of a poor gift. So, good luck in your extravagant shopping spree and don't forget who you're shopping for.
