True friendships are rare, so maintaining them wherever the two of you live should be a priority. It’s easy to get lost in the day to day grind, always planning and plotting that ‘tomorrow’ you’ll give them a call or shoot them a text. But, when things are important to us, we need to nurture them. Yes, it takes more effort and more time, but in the long run, having an authentic friend by your side through the ups and downs is one of life’s true treasures.

- Puzzle Pieces Necklace. Choose between gold, silver, and rose gold, the puzzle pieces are customizable with lower case letters to represent the two of you. And of course, they fit snug inside one another for those times when you are together again!
- Why You’re My Bestie Booklet. Who doesn’t love a book that’s all about them? The Why You’re My Bestie Book turns every page into a dedication to your best friend. Choose to be sweet, silly, sarcastic or completely authentic with your own words. Whatever style you choose, she’ll be grinning from ear to ear and put it someplace close so she can read it often.
- Nail Art Subscription. Being fearless, having fun, and living your best life all comes down to unbridled self-expression. Encourage your best friend to put her best fingers forward with a nail art subscription. Every month she’ll receive nail art decals in various shapes, sizes and materials that glitter and shine.
- A Fun Sweatshirt. Is your friend a proud Scorpio, Taurus or Libra? Does she read her horoscope on a regular basis? The cheeky “Sorry I can’t. Mercury is in retrograde” sweatshirt is likely to be her next favorite wardrobe item.
Focusing a little time on your far away best friend is the single greatest thing you can do to nurture the friendship. Texting is great, but why not go that extra step for her birthday, best friend’s day or any day at all to show her a little love from afar.
