National Best Friend Day is June 8 – Celebrate in Style!

Your best friend is the one person who has always been there through thick and thin, laughing with you at your jokes, protecting your secrets, and ensuring every moment is unforgettable. 

So on June 8, it's time to pay back to them a little bit for all they give you! Here are 8 fun and heartfelt ways to celebrate National Best Friend Day with your best friend!

1. Make Up a Secret Handshake
   Isn't it really time to have your own secret handshake? Whether it's a series of high fives, a silly little dance move, or inside jokes, get creative! Create a handshake that is just yours; it'll be a memory you'll treasure forever!
2. Bake Cookies Together
   There is no bonding like over cookies! So roll up your sleeves and ship out a cookie-decorating kit to decorate Cheryl's famous cookies together. With 24 unfrosted cookies, more frostings, and sprinkles than you can shake a spatula at, you and your bestie can channel your inner pastry chefs!
3. Have a Banana Split Ice Cream Sundae
   What would summer be without a giant sundae? Put in both your favorite toppings, two cherries on top, and share all the sweetness. Make a cool treat to celebrate your best bestie!
4. Make a Music Video
   Crank that song you love and start a dancerama! Set the camera and start dancing. Capture music video footage. When you edit, you'll have a classic work of art to share—it’s just as easily that you will not ever speak about this again!
5. Create a Friendship Timeline
   Value the years of memories! Bring out a poster or pics to start your poster board, or stick to something digital. Mark all the milestones from when you met to your favorite inside jokes and adventures!
6. Have a Best Friend Movie Marathon
   Grab some popcorn, let the wings out for all those best friend movies. From classics like "Thelma and Louise," "Pretty In Pink," "Sherlock Holmes," and more—spend the day together with Hollywood's most famous duos.
7. Best Friend Interview
   Think you know everything about your BFF? Nooo way! Prepare a list of something like 10 to 15 questions. Some could be fun favorites, meaning light questions such as, "What is your dream vacation?" And others so deep you'd need a ladder to answer them, like, "Where do you see yourself in 15 years?" Answers could spark new conversations from old memories worth collecting in your hearts!
8. Give Back Together
   Take your friendship to a newer level by giving back. Involve yourselves by volunteering at your local charities. It would be warm to bond and leave a positive impact on others!

Celebrate National Best Friend Day in the best way ever! Whether you're laughing, creating, or volunteering together, these activities will make memories you'll never forget. So rally your bestie, pick out an activity, and let the fun begin!
