Make friendship band
When you were kids, weren’t friendship bands the most significant way to make your friends feel special? This custom may not be that prevalent in adulthood, but why not revive it? To make it even more meaningful, craft a friendship band yourself and extend it to your friend as a symbol of your unwavering bond
Take a trip down memory lane
What better way to celebrate your friendship than relive all the memories, and reflect on all the ups and downs your bond has lived through? Look at old photographs and videos, and just spend the day recalling anecdotes from years of friendship
Host a pyjama party
Friendship is a safe space where one can truly be themselves without fearing judgement. Host your friends at home for a pyjama party, where they leave their pretenses behind, dance together, enjoy food and beverages, discuss life stories and embrace the comfort found in the company of true friends. Sometimes, the simplest things bring the most joy
Create a playlist
Are you and your friends music enthusiasts? Surprise them with a curated playlist that features all their favourite songs, in addition to songs that reflect your bond. This is a sweet gesture that reflects you know their likes and dislikes
Capture memories in photographs
Have you ever tried to find a good picture with your best friend and found none? Well, it is time to change that. Click creative pictures with your friend – pictures that reflect your true bond and signify something that is meaningful to both of you. For example, if you both love dancing, strike some poses and capture them in photographs. Yes, spending time with friends shouldn’t be about clicking pictures, but living in the moment. However, this way, you don’t only spend the day doing things you love but also record memories you can look back at in the future
