Inexpensive ways to show your friends you care about them!

June 8, 2016, is "Best Friend's Day" ! It is the perfect time to show all of your friends how much you love and care about them. Here are some tips for showing the people in your life that they are special!

1. Write a note – and send it in the mail !!

Expressing your appreciation through written words can make a big impact, sometimes more than just verbal praise. Write a letter or a short note encouraging your friend and telling her how much you care about her. You don't have to mail it, but it makes it more special and fun if you do!

2. Make her something healthy

With all of the eating plans and the movement towards a healthier lifestyle, a good way to show someone you care about them is to make them something they won’t feel guilty eating! You can either make a meal for just her to enjoy, or enough that she could feed her whole family. 
We usually like to give sweets and yummy goodies to those we care about. Remember that sinking feeling you get when your neighbor or friend brings you a freshly baked pie that you know you will never resist? Show some love by sharing healthy and decadent!

3. Offer to watch her children

Sometimes your friends just need a day to themselves to catch up on the little things. With all of the busyness of life, it can be hard to actually celebrate with your friend. Giving her time to invest in herself can often be the best way to celebrate. If your friend has young kids, offer to take them for a day one weekend and give her a whole day in a kid-free house!

4. Help her clean - - something !!

We all can use some help with the every day tasks of life. Whether it’s a car wash, tidying, laundry, or even organizing the pantry, helping a friend do these things can be so encouraging and really make a difference. Best friends see the good and the bad in each other; this can include the deep, dark messes of your Tupperware container cabinets. Make a day of it! Pick up some lunch and spend the afternoon chatting over chores and organizing.

There are so many ways to show your best friends and the people around you that you care about them!

Are there any unique things that you and your friends do for each other that encourage, help, or celebrate each other?
