Celebrating our Friends on Friendship Day

A good friend is someone who is there in every twist and turn of life. One might see them every day, once a year, or even less but one thing is for sure that they will always be there for us when the time comes. Our friends don’t care for our riches and material things; instead they love us for what we are.

Friendship is one of basic building blocks of a harmonious society. People have revered friendship from time immemorial. Many cultures from all over the world have stories and legends filled with wonderful tales of friendship. But even though friendship has always been revered, the tradition of celebrating a special day for friends and friendship is comparatively recent.

They also exchange Friendship day cards, flowers, wrist bands and other gifts. Friendship gifts are tokens of love and symbols of appreciation. A friendship gift on the occasion of Friendship day will go a long way in telling your friends how much they mean to you.
