Friendship Bracelets: The Perfect Personalized Present For Your Friend!
Are you looking for something to give your best friend for their birthday or Christmas? Or are you looking for something to give your friend to show how much you appreciate them? One great present you can give them is something both simple and meaningful: a friendship bracelet!
A friendship bracelet is made to represent the bond that you have with your friend. And as the story goes, when your friend ties the bracelet onto your wrist, make a wish! Make sure you leave the bracelet on your wrist: don’t take it off! See how long it stays on. Show off the hard work your friend put into that bracelet. It’s a symbol of your friendship. After a couple days, weeks, or even months, your bracelet may come undone on its own. Once it falls off, your wish will come true all thanks to the power of friendship you have with that special someone.
The following link will bring you to a great website with three easy step-by-step walkthroughs on how to make some beautiful bracelets for you and your friend!

Forbidden Island: It’s one of my favorite games to play with my family! For this game, you have to work together as one team to escape the island. It’s a great game for teamwork, suspense, and strategy.
Tenzi: The fast dice-rolling game is sure to be an energy booster! Be the first person to roll all of the same number. Sounds simple, right? Not really. Especially when time and speed all play a role in your game. The race to win is sure to be a fun competition full of laughter!
Pictionary: A cat! A bear! The moon! A circle with two other circles? Pictionary is great for everyone, even if you’re not an artist. And it’s perfect for some hilarious memories too! Especially when you find out that what you thought was a cat was actually a bicycle …
Charades, Karaoke, and Other Classics: Why not just host and make your own fun board game or activity? Write different characters on paper, put them in a hat, and pull them out for a game of charades! Or pull out your phone and look up some fun karaoke tracks! Host a concert with you friends with definite laughs! In addition, you can hold a simple, classic card game or put together a jigsaw puzzle.
