10 gift ideas for National Best Friends Day!

National Best Friends day is coming up on June 8th! National Best Friends day is similar to "Galentines Day" where you celebrate your gal friends, but it focuses more on those who you would consider your best friends. Although you aren't required to purchase your best friend a gift or even celebrate the holiday if you aren't into the smaller "national holidays", I wanted to put together a small list of gift ideas for the occasion. All of the ideas range from a few dollars to a little more expensive so there is an option for everyone.

1. A Memory Jar or Box. Stop at your local hobby store or dollar store and purchase a jar, small box or cute vase, a pack of Popsicle sticks and a sharpie or two. On each stick write a memory you and your friend both remember, reasons you love having them in your life, silly jokes or sayings to make them smile (you can color coordinate them if you wish). Give the jar to your friend and tell them to pull a stick from the jar anytime they are feeling down and need a pick me up.

2. Best Friend Bracelets. Many stores carry Best Friend bracelets, many of which are simple yet cute so they go with an everyday outfit. If you can't find a set you like in store, amazon and Etsy offer dozens of great options at affordable prices. The set shown above I found on Amazon for less than $5 for two bracelets, each one shows a infinity loop and a heart combined, I like that it looks adorable yet it isn't too over the top.

3. Have a movie night. Depending on if you want to go out or stay home a movie night is great for either option. You can rent a movie or two from Redbox and buy some snacks, or you can see a newer movie in theaters.

4. Go out & get your nails done. I always find it so relaxing to go get Mani's or Pedi's with my best friend, you get to relax in a nice massage chair while your hands and feet get pampered while you chit chat. Groupon has some great coupons for pedis/manis if you are on a budget.

5. Have a pamper night at home. Feel like having a night in? Why not have a pamper night at home? Invite your gal pal over to pamper yourselves with face masks, paint each others nails, watch a movie and make some ice cream with toppings! On a budget? The dollar store sells a lot of great products that will help you have a fantastic pamper night in without breaking the bank.

6. Buy a plant or flowers. Even though some of us won't admit it, we all secretly love when we get surprised with flowers or a new plant. I am more on the plant side because they last way longer and you get to see them bloom more than once.

7. Get A Caricature or Cartoon image done. Getting a caricature of yourself can be a lot of fun, I've done it twice and both times it was a neat experience. You can do it in person or order one online using an image of the both of you, you can get a regular image drawn or get one of the two of you dressed as your favorite characters, etc. there are a ton of possibilities.

8. Matching goodies. If you and your best friend(s) are the type who enjoy having matching goodies whether it is shirts, bags, jewelry, etc. Etsy and Amazon both have a ton of fun "Best friends" matching goods. A set that I found recently and found pretty adorable was a shirt set that said "Double" and "Trouble" and featured Chip & Dale.

9. Gift basket or Care Package. If your friend lives a long distance away, but you still want to send them something a small care package is a wonderful idea. You can put a few things they enjoy into it and add in a little piece of home as well, adding a cute card is always a nice touch.

10. Get matching tattoos. This one depends on your budget and how close you and your best friend are. If you can, and know you'll want to keep it forever a cute matching best friends tattoo would be a fun way to celebrate best friends day. My best friend and I have known each other since the second grade, when we are able to and funds allow (she lives in another state) we plan on getting cute matching Disney inspired tattoos.

PRIZE ALERT:
I picked up an extra set of best friends bracelets to give away to one of you!
