National Best Friend Day: Special sayings and quotes for special BFFs


Today is the day to take a moment of your busy schedule and celebrate that very special, one-of-a-kind person in your life – your BFF. It's National Best Friend Day, also known as Best Friend’s Day, an annual "holiday" observed each year on June 8 (although some celebrate the special day on August 15.)

While there are holidays for just about every occasion under the sun, today’s holiday serves as an important reminder to do something special for that very special person in your life. You know the one – the person who has been there through good times and bad. The person who supports you no matter what. That super-loyal, amazing person who knows all your flaws and dirty little secrets but still loves you despite it all.

In honor of National Best Friend Day, take a moment out of your day to remind that special person in your life just how much you value and appreciate him or her.

How to Celebrate National Best Friend Day

  • Make her a batch of her favorite cookies or dessert.

  • Invite your BFF out to lunch, dinner or drinks. No kids, no significant other – just the two of you.

  • Wash his or her car.

  • Write a heartfelt note telling your BFF how much he/she means to you.

  • Make an appointment for the both of you to get a relaxing massage, mani or pedicure!
