For your friend who loves meditating, there are numerous thoughtful gift ideas that can enhance and support their practice. From essential meditation tools to relaxation aids, here are some meaningful and personal gift ideas for your friend's birthday:

1. Meditation Cushion or Pillow: A comfortable and supportive cushion or pillow specially designed for meditation can greatly enhance their practice by providing proper alignment, posture, and comfort.

2. Singing Bowl: A singing bowl is a beautiful and melodic instrument used for meditation and relaxation. It produces soothing sound vibrations that can help your friend deepen their meditation practice and create a peaceful atmosphere.

3. Essential Oils and Diffuser: Aromatic essential oils, such as lavender or sandalwood, can enhance the relaxation and meditative experience. Pairing them with a diffuser will help create a calming and tranquil environment, perfect for your friend's meditation sessions.

4. Guided Meditation Subscription: Consider gifting your friend a subscription to a guided meditation app or website. This will provide them with a variety of guided meditation sessions that can help them explore different styles, techniques, and themes.

5. Inspirational Books: Look for books on mindfulness, meditation, and personal growth. Famous titles like "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle or "Wherever You Go, There You Are" by Jon Kabat-Zinn can offer insights and inspiration for their meditation journey.

6. Yoga Mat: A high-quality yoga mat is not only useful for yoga practice but also for meditation. It provides a comfortable and clean space for your friend to sit during their meditation sessions and can easily be rolled up or transported.

7. Journal or Gratitude Diary: Encourage your friend to reflect on their meditation experiences and thoughts by gifting them a beautiful journal or gratitude diary. They can use this tool to write down their insights, observations, and moments of gratitude during their practice.

8. Mindfulness Bell: A mindfulness bell can serve as a gentle reminder for your friend to bring present-moment awareness into their day-to-day life. These bells are designed to chime at random intervals, prompting a moment of mindfulness.

9. Meditation Music: Create a personalized playlist of soothing meditation music or purchase a CD featuring calming sounds, nature sounds, or classical instrumental music. These can be used as background music during their meditation practice.

10. Meditation Retreat or Workshop: Consider gifting your friend an opportunity to deepen their practice by signing them up for a local meditation retreat or workshop. This will provide them with a chance to immerse themselves in a supportive and dedicated meditative environment.

Remember, the most important aspect of any gift is the thought and intention behind it. Choose a gift that aligns with your friend's love for meditating and shows that you appreciate and support their practice.
