National Best Friend Day Deals to Spoil Your Bestie

A group of friends enjoying the view together

Friends are an important part of people's support network, both for day-to-day life as well as major life events and difficult challenges. Best friends are the greatest, and an ideal way to commemorate this special relationship is by celebrating Best Friend Day. In the United States, Best Friend Day is celebrated on June 8. While many friends have friendship anniversaries, what we like about Best Friend Day is that the holiday makes your time together extra special with national recognition and various ways to enjoy the festivities. Because let’s face it, they are the only ones who put up with our crazy antics, breakup calls at three in the morning, never forget our birthdays, and always have our back no matter what’s going on.

What Deals & Coupons Can You Expect on Best Friend Day?

While not as well-known or popular as some other holidays, Best Friend Day has some really good deals for food and recreation. You can find "buy one, get one free" sweets. Free gym workouts, massages, and facials as well as half-off psychic readings are a few more of the possible savings you can grab for yourself and your best buddy during this time of year.

A popular activity for best friends is hitting up their local restaurant, pub, or bar to celebrate their good times together and make more memories. Food and drink businesses are the most likely to have deals for entrees and beverages. One example of a deal is "buy one entree, get half off the second." Also, food ordering apps might offer exclusive Best Friend Day deals.

It's not uncommon to make a friend, even a best friend, at a local gym. Having a workout buddy is a great way to stay motivated and have fun company at the same time. Inquire at the gym of your choice or shop around to see if any are offering free workouts for you and your best friend. You might be able to get in some exercise without spending a dime, or perhaps grab a discount on a gym membership.

Find out more about the different ways people can celebrate Best Friend Day while spending little to no money. Check out how to make your best friend feel special with these cost-effective ideas, all without having to break your wallet.

Catch Up With a Phone Call

Every best friend appreciates a phone call to reminisce about the good old times and find out what's going on in each other's lives lately. It's especially welcome if you are best friends that go for periods without talking, but can easily and immediately reconnect when in touch again. If you talk often, it's a great way to stir excitement while you make plans for getting together on Best Friend Day.

Send a Card or Flowers

Cards are a thoughtful way to show someone you care, and your best friend is as likely to appreciate and keep a card as anyone else. If your best friend likes flowers, many bouquets are available, or you can give a longer-lasting potted plant. It's even better if you know the types of flowers your buddy enjoys.

Give a Gift Card

If you can't be there in person, being able to buy your best friend a morning coffee or a meal from their favorite coffee shop or restaurant is an ideal alternative. You can send a hard copy gift card through the mail or send a virtual gift card by email for instant access.

Post a Photo

Pictures mean the world to people, especially ones of them with their best friends laughing and smiling together. Choose a good, memorable picture you both enjoy and post it on social media to let the world know about your friendship.

Get Them a Small but Special Gift

Sometimes, it's the little keepsakes that many people cherish as some of the most important things they own. And your best friend is sure to appreciate a small gift from the heart. A customized coffee mug, food basket, sling bag, wallet, or phone cover would make an affordable but useful and enjoyable gift.

Take Them Out for Brunch

Restaurants that offer brunch are extremely popular and usually very affordable. Sometimes, they have exclusive foods you can't find anywhere else. They are charming, welcoming places that are perfect for relaxing, socializing, and eating anything from breakfast to pastries with your closest friend.
