August 1st is International Friendship Day - and
that means its time to recognise your friends and the great
contribution they make to your life.
Friends come in many shapes, sizes and guises... same-age friends,
school friends, older friends, siblings, work colleagues, partners,
parents, pets or neighbours. They can be near or far away; we can talk
to them daily or only
occasionally; some friends we only get to know in cyber-space....
Celebrate Friendship!
Things to do with your Friends:
Need some suggestions on how to celebrate
Friendship Day and show your friends they are special? Read on below
for some suggestions...
-
Write
a nice card for your friend telling them how much you appreciate
their friendship. Spill out your heart to them as though there is
no tomorrow.
-
Buy
or make them a small present - flowers, chocolates, a cake, a wind
chime or anything that catches your imagination! Consider leaving
the gift anonymously for added intrigue!
-
Hug
someone, preferably your friend!
-
Make
a point to call every one of your friends on Friendship Day to let
them know you care
-
Make
your friend a tape of all the songs that define your friendship
(or ones that you just happen to mutually like!)
-
Call
all those old friends you haven't spoken to in ages..
-
Make
a special friendship book for your best friend. Include photos,
quotes and poetry telling your friends how special they are.
-
Invite
your closest buddies over for a sleepover! Rent some movies and
pig out on popcorn, chocolate and all forms of unhealthy food!
Bring some blankets outside and watch the stars.
-
Plan
a special day with your best friend or friendship group. A picnic
is always a fun idea, and great for all ages. If you're
physically-inclined, try an activity such as bowling, golf,
roller-blading, cricket or going to the beach.
-
If
you're all busy during the day, plan to go out to dinner with your
friend(s). Dress up in your finest and have a fun night that's
different from the norm.
-
Host
a Friendship Dinner Party!
-
Ring
up a radio station and dedicate a song to Friendship Day and your
friends!
-
Make
some new friends by becoming a doer of RAOK - Random Acts of
Kindness
-
Buy
your friend a ticket to the theatre so you can enjoy a great show
together. If you can't afford this, downscale to the movies!
-
Give
your friend a Friendship Bracelet (made or bought) to symbolise
your friendship
-
Grab
a camera or visit a photo machine and take some photos of you
& your friends enjoying yourselves!
