It doesn't need a reason to count
Some of the best gifts between friends have no occasion attached at all - just something that made you think of them. It lands well precisely because there was no obligation behind it.
Remember what they've mentioned, for when the moment's right
Friends mention wanting things constantly, usually in passing and rarely expecting anyone to remember. Keeping track of those moments means you'll have a genuinely good idea ready whenever the right occasion actually comes up.
