Friendship day is a day set aside to celebrate friends, especially those who have been with you through thick and thin, friends who tell you the truth and advice you on decisions you have to make.

In the United States, National Friendship Day is celebrated on the first Sunday of August. In other parts of the world, friendships are celebrated on July 30th, which is known as International Friendship Day.

Friendship is a wonderful gift and the benefits of friendship are long-lasting. It is a day to lavish your dearest friends with all the love and attention to show them how important they're to you. Friends can be of different kinds, but on the top of the list is your boyfriend. Don't forget to celebrate the day by making it about him, spend the day together, send him messages and show him how deeply you appreciate him, his friendship and the choice he made to make you, his very own. Don’t forget to say it to him also; words have a powerful effect. Let him know everyone deserves a friend like him, a friend who is selfless and kind-hearted.

Friendship day is a day which most friends wait for. Even if you have a tight budget, you can still make it a memorable friendship day by maximizing some cost-effective options that we are about to share with you.

Why spend the little money you have at hand to go eat at a restaurant when you can spend less than that to make a savoury and mouth-watering meal that he would love and cherish. Friendship is an accumulation of simple moments; moments of laughter and moments when you get to share a simple meal with the one you love. It is not how expensive but the simplicity, the effort and the heart of love behind the meal.

The simple things of life are what makes life actually beautiful. A walk by the beach and a walk under the moon are all priceless. Use the Friendship Day as an opportunity to do one of these simple things. You can begin by taking a drive around the city after the sun has gone down. There are places he might not know exist or places he hardly drives by because of his busy schedule. Let him take the passenger seat while you drive him around the city enjoying the fresh air and scenery. After the drive around the city, you can make a stop at a park and talk, laugh and just enjoy the moment.

Decide what type of barbeque he would love, beef, chicken or fish, and get the items needed ahead of the Friendship Day. Get the right spot and set the place in order.

This allows you to learn new things about each other, try out new things, show appreciation, talk about different things, laugh together and experience life together.

Window shopping, an act of looking at goods displayed without the intention of buying them yet.

Pay attention and take note of those items that he comments on passionately; those are items that you should come back for and package nicely as a gift for him to celebrate either his birthday or whatever the season might be then.

You have been together for a while and you have watched and seen how your boyfriend has done all he can to please and win your heart. The friendship day is an opportunity to surprise and spoil him silly. Take him out to watch a movie he has been dying to see and get some snacks to munch on as the movie plays on. You can expect that he will talk about this one outing with you for a long time.
