Pick the perfect present on Friendship Day

Are you losing your hair trying to choose a gift for Friendship Day this Sunday? Avi will help you.

For the amigos worldwide, it's the day they can shower love to those who have fought with them, have become their guilty mirrors and would definitely stand by them till the end of time. It's Friendship Day this Sunday and youngsters in Bhubaneswar are gearing up to celebrate this special day with much pomp and show. Needless to say, the gifts shops have attractive merchandises in plenty to help them celebrate this day.

This year too, regular goodies like friendship bands, cards, quotation frames, coffee mugs are already on the racks. But, if you are looking for something unique to surprise your best friend with, there are pretty and colourful designer bags shaped like frocks, shoes. And guess what? They are filled with chocolates. According to Ravi Dewan, owner of a gift shop in Shahid Nagar, it's the frames with sweet and cheeky Friendship Day quotes that are attracting youngsters the most. "Wooden and glass frames with interesting texts written about friendship, glass photo frames with nice friendship quotes are popular gifts for this Friendship Day. Rakhi is over and these are now selling like hot cakes," he shares.

But, when it comes to choosing bands and goodies, people want to experiment. Girls have a special fascination for rainbow-coloured beaded bands and crystal bands. They are fashionable but pocket-friendly. Says Subhashree, a faculty member of a international school in Bhubaneswar, "Though everyday is Friendship Day for me, I still buy friendship bands and chocolates for my friends for the first Sunday of August. This year too I'll do
the same."

For the guys, Friendship Day kits consist of leather or metal friendship bands. Shubham, an engineering student, says, "I have bought a leather friendship band for my best friend. I think it will look really cool with the party attire he's planning to wear on that day."

So, what are these youngsters planning to do to make this day memorable? Avi tells us that all of his friends are going to attend a huge party. For Siddharth, it's a day to be spent with your buddies, wherever you are. "We are planning to go out and have fun the whole day. I have already bought some quotation frames for them," he says with a smile. Subhashree, however, plans to have a blast with her childhood friends at a beach. "This Friendship Day I'm planning to go to Kris to catch up with my friends. We are going to have a beach party. I'm eagerly waiting for this Sunday," she signs off.
