Friends Forever

Friends

Friend, Ami, Amiga, Bekannte, Amica... No matter how you say it, the word "friend" always translates into companionship, loyalty, fun, love and togetherness. They say birds of a feather stick together, and when you have found your flock you will never stray. Good friends know what that kind of sticky togetherness means, and understand that it's all about being tighter than those tummy-tucking nylons you just bought.

A friend is someone who you can tell everything to. One who always understands. One who is always there for you. One who can be fun or serious, depending on what you need. Friendship is about:

Beliefs

Empathy

Sincerity

Trust

Fun

Respect and reliability

Intuition

Entertainment

Novelty

Dedication

Support

  A friend is like a flower, a rose to be exact. Or maybe like a brand new gate that never comes unlatched.

Friendship Gifts

• Friendship gifts include everything from (the aforementioned) CD mixes to friendship bracelets to fine jewelry. A friendship gift usually depends on what type of friends you are and how close you are. When looking for a friendship gift, remember to pick something out that reflects you pal's hobbies — sports, sewing, shopping, etc. You can try making a custom t-shirt for her, getting a gift card to her favorite store, taking her to her favorite restaurant for cocktails and dinner, or having a group girls' night out.

  Finding friendship gifts isn't nearly as fun as making friendship gifts, however! You can make unique friendship gifts online using your favorite pictures of you and your comrades. Photo gifts make the best presents because they capture special memories in creative ways; and everyone knows a memory lasts a lifetime.

  For the friend who loves to play games, why not make a photo puzzle or photo playing cards? For that friend who always wants pictures but never remembers her camera, create a professional-looking photo album with some copies of your favorite group pictures. For the office professional, create a photo mouse pad with a collage of her best shots. And for the wine aficionado, make an awesome-looking photo wine box.

  Other gifts you can make out of photos include keepsake boxes, journals, coffee mugs, coasters, and more!
