How to Celebrate Friendship Day with Sustainable Gift Hampers: Ideas for a Friend’s Day 

Friendship Day falls on the last Tuesday of July every year and hence, it is easy to remember! Friendship day is the perfect way to thank your best friend for being there with you through thick and thin, happy and sad times. Your friends are the people who know you better than anyone else and make you feel good about yourself. They see you at your worst and lift you when you need it most. On a friend’s day, it is important to acknowledge their presence in your life. After all, they are the people who are there always by your side when no one else is! If you need ideas on how to celebrate from buying sustainable gift boxes to looking through old photos, this blog is great for you. Friendship day is a great opportunity to give thanks to those who have stood by our side through thick and thin. It is also a great opportunity to strengthen the bonds of friendship with those special people in our lives.

Go through your photo albums

If you have been friends since childhood, then you must have a photo album that you can go through. This will let you know what you have been through as friends and strengthen your bond even further. You can also go through photo albums with your newer friends to learn more about their lives and see if you have any common interests that you can discuss later on. If you do not have any photo albums, then you can always go online and look at old photos of you and your friends.

Gift your friends sustainable gift boxes

If you want to get your friend a gift on sustainable friendship day, then you could go to Social Stories Club’s website and buy sustainable gift boxes for all your friends. When you buy a sustainable gift box, it is like receiving a present which is a gift to yourself and the community! You could also choose what is inside your friend's sustainable gift boxes and personalise them to each friend with the build your own box feature. Alternatively, you could also use the sustainable gift boxes to show just how much you care but include cards inside that you have written to your friends. This will let your friends know that you care about them and want to see them happy.

Celebrate sustainably

If you want to show your friends that you care about them, then you should try to have a sustainable friendship day. This means you should try to do as many sustainable activities as possible and then have a sustainable dinner. For example, you could have an outdoor organic gardening session where you all plant seeds together. If you do not have a garden, then you could go to a local park and do the same thing there. You could appreciate nature and do a sustainable outdoor activity. You could also go surfing, canoeing, swimming, or even rock climbing; these are all sustainable activities that you can do with friends.

Throw a sustainable surprise party

If one of your friends is celebrating a special birthday, then throw a sustainable surprise party for them! This will show your friend that you care about them and want to do something special for them. When you throw a sustainable surprise party, you are not just doing it for your friend, but also the planet. This is because throwing a sustainable surprise party means that you will cut down on the waste that is produced by birthday parties. When you throw a sustainable surprise party, you could invite all of your friend’s family and friends to a location where they can have fun and celebrate. You could organise a picnic in the park or a beach party. This will allow your friend to celebrate their special day in an environmentally friendly way. You could also throw a sustainable surprise party for all occasions. You could organise a sustainable picnic hamper to have in the park or invite your friends over to your house for a sustainable tea party.

Cook your friend’s favourite sustainable dish

If you and your friend have been friends for a long time, then you will know what your friend’s favourite dish is. If not, then you can ask them what their favourite dish is to find out. Then, you could try to cook your friend’s favourite dish for them on sustainable friendship day. This will show your friend that you have been listening to them and paying attention to their likes and dislikes. When you cook your friend their favourite dish on sustainable friendship day, you are also doing your little bit for the environment. This is because you will be cutting down on the number of carbon emissions from the cooking process. You can also try to make your friend’s favourite dish in an environmentally friendly way.

Hang out and play sustainable games together

When you and your friend have been friends for a long time, then you will know if both of you enjoy playing games. If you know your friend enjoys playing games and you have a board game in your house, then you could play it with them. However, if you do not have that game, then you could visit your local bookstore and look for sustainable games. You could also look for sustainable board games online. When you and your friend play sustainable games together, you are reducing the amount of waste that is produced and also having fun at the same time. You could also visit your local library and see what sustainable games they have. You could also try to make your own sustainable games with the help of online guides and tutorials. When you play sustainable games with your friend, you are not only having fun but also showing your friend that you care about them. You are also being environmentally friendly when you play sustainable games with your friend.

Play sustainable sports together

If you and your friend are athletic and love to play sports, then you should play sustainable sports together. This will not only show your friend that you care about them but also the environment. When you play sustainable sports together, you are reducing the number of carbon emissions that are produced from the sport. You can play a range of sustainable sports together. Some examples include swimming, canoeing, surfing, rock climbing, mountaineering, and even hiking. When you play sustainable sports together, you let your friend know that you care about them and want to spend time with them.
