The 30th July is the official International Day of Friendship. A day that is dedicated to all those fabulous friends. The historical or lifelong friends, the common-interest friends, our work bestie, long distance friends and of course our intimate friends, our besties!

All of these friends play a huge role in our lives. A friend to laugh with until our tummy aches or to hold us while we're crying until the pain eases. A friend to party with until the early hours or to lay on a beach in comfortable silence. They all play an important part of our lives.
Whether they're by your side or miles away at the end of the phone, they are priceless. International friendship day is a time to be thankful for those who are always by our side, and rekindle friendships that may have drifted apart. 

As adults it can be hard to find time to meet up with our friends regularly, but Friendship Day is the perfect excuse to have a long-overdue reunion!  Arrange a fun night out or maybe a relaxing afternoon of pampering and all of your favourite snacks. It will feel just like the good old days!

A huge part of my job is Friendship gifts and it's one of the parts that I love the most. I think of my lovely friends when I'm sourcing new products and always have different friends in mind, when I'm buying new stock. One of my favourite companies for sentiment gifts for friends, is East of India. I love their thoughtful quotes and meanings and are definitely going to be loved by anyone that receives them.

 Another of my favourites is Joma Jewellery, they always have a gorgeous selection for friendship. Good friends deserves great jewellery right?  and what's better than a sparkling treat for a fabulous friend? My best selling range has got to be the 'a little' collection. a beautiful bracelet with an embellished charm and a unique poem that is sure to leave a lasting impression.

I am really lucky with the friends I have around me. It's been a tough couple of years, personally for me, and my friends have most definitely helped me through. Actually, they are still helping me through and I am so thankful to each and every one of them. 

True friends are worth their weight in gold and really do make the journey worthwhile!
