A Brief History

National Friend Day has been slowly making friends (pun intended) across the internet. With a whopping 19641 mentions online, folks really started chattering about it on July 31, 2020. Perhaps that was the day when we all realized how much we valued those zoom calls with our buddies during a shared experience we shall lovingly call Lockdown Life.

The Power of Friendship

It's no surprise National Friend Day has taken off with such gusto. It speaks to the very human need for connection, camaraderie and, let's face it, someone to laugh with when you accidentally mute yourself on a work call. Or is that just us?
