Friends are quite possibly the best thing you will have in your life. These people picked you and you them because you were drawn to each other for many different reasons. It’s your friends that have your back and are there to support you, cheer you up, and celebrate your success. They are truly invaluable.

Although you are most likely thankful for them every day, a good day to let them know it is July 30th, which is International Day of Friendship. This day is dedicated to celebrating friendships and encouraging all of us to be a better friend to more people.

Your friends at Mayfield, Tucson’s favorite flower and gift shop, have many ways that you can celebrate your friendships. Here are some flower ideas:

  • A bouquet of gerbera daisies in bright colors or a combination arrangement with gerbera daisies and roses
  • Any type of yellow flower as yellow is the symbol of friendship, including a dozen yellow roses, sunflowers, or lilies
  • Multicolored roses in a vase
  • A celebratory flower arrangement with tinsel accents
  • A glass filled with favorite flowers like daisies, lilies, and carnations

For the friend with a green thumb, you can also send a long-lasting, low-maintenance plant gift like these options:

  • Succulent or cacti garden
  • Blooming plant like a colorful azalea or kalanchoe
  • Money tree for good luck and fortune
  • A decorative fern for their home office
  • A European dish or basket garden

Other gift options for International Friendship Day include something from our gift collections and curated items from local Tucson small businesses like ours. You can opt for balloons or balloon bouquet, artisan gift item, greeting cards, or gift baskets and fruit baskets.
