DIY Card

A simple card can go a long way in showing your best friend how much you care. You don’t have to be a great artist to DIY a beautiful keepsake. Crafting a card is fun and super easy - just go all out with supplies like stickers , watercolors, washi tape , markers, ribbon , etc. Surely your pal will cherish your card forever.

DIY Painting

Take your creativity to the next level and surprise your best pal with a DIY painting! As intimidating as it may sound, you don’t have to be a pro, just grab the nearest brush  and give it your best shot. You can paint a design that works perfectly with your friend's taste and décor. Or you can create a watercolor portrait. Just block off some time alone, take hold of all your paint supplies , and create something to add a little color to the walls of your pal’s home!

A Timeline of your Friendship (Scrapbook!)

A picture is worth a thousand words. And we totally agree! You can never go wrong with the pictures of you and your pal. Include anything from embarrassing pictures to funny texts to concert stubs (after all, it’s International Friendship Day!). Just pick up these amazing scrapbook materials and you’re good to go. This simple, DIY gift can remind your pal that they are always close at heart.

DIY Scented Candles

Candles add warmth, light to any space. Gifting these jars of happiness would remind your best friend you know their taste and personality, allowing them to reignite memories they shared with you. Using high-quality supplies, you can customize the shape, color, and scent. With a huge range of aromas available, you’re sure to find the perfect candle scent for your best pal. 

DIY Personalized Pillows

Why not treat your best friend to a customized pillow for National Friendship Day? Sounds strange? Well, it isn’t! For the one who loves sleep (most of us do!), personalized cushions make a memorable keepsake. Get fabric, stencils, markers, etc., and follow a simple sewing tutorial. Add photos for a personal touch or choose an inspirational quote, either way, it’ll be stunning decorative furnishing. 

DIY Wall Art

We know wall art can be tricky to get right, but it definitely would make a worthy piece of art. Perhaps you can create something unique to add personalized décor to your pal’s home or office. You would need a canvas , paint, adhesive tape , paint roller, stationery, etc., and viola! Your artwork is ready to make your pal smile!

Pet Treat Jar

If your best friend is a pet lover (cats, dogs, anything!), what could be a better gift than a personalized pet treat jar? A customized treat jar is sure to connect them with their furry friends (it’s friends day for everyone), besides keeping treats safe and fresh. Since a treat jar is most likely going to be sitting on a counter, make one that’s attractive and adds to décor. Perhaps you can glass etch the pet’s name or just a fun saying. 

Personalized Bookmarks

It’s a mind-boggling task when it comes to planning a gift for a bibliophile! A book seems like an easy choice. But, how would you make it more personal? We surely are not asking you to write a book; that’d be crazy unless you’re a writer. Perhaps creating a bookmark would impress your pal. Made out of fabric and elastic bands , the personalized bookmarks would be the perfect book gift for an avid reader! And, the list is endless!
