BEST FRIEND COUPONS: IDEAS FROM A TO Z
In the previous blog post, 10 Ways To Thrive In Your Friendships While On A Budget, we discussed ways you can show up in your friendships without breaking the bank, and one of those ways was to create friendship coupons.
A friendship coupon is just a twist on love coupons people make for their partners, but remixing it for friends.
These BFF coupons are creative vouchers that promise a kind gesture, a gift, or an activity your friends will appreciate.
Gone are the days of “what do I get for the friend who has everything?”
This blog post will guide you through creating a fun-filled best friend coupon booklet, perfect for birthdays, holidays, or just because!
How to Make Love Coupons for Friends
Customize
These love coupons should be tailored to what your friend would like (see the blog post: The 5 Love Languages for Friendships), not just what you want to give her (though there is space for that too).
Get creative with your ideas!
For example: If your friend is an artist, instead of simply gifting her supplies, research a local art exhibition or pop-up event you could attend together.
Specify
Make it crystal clear what you’re offering in the love coupons.
Note any limitations, expiration dates, disclaimers, and caveats. Avoid confusion by eliminating vague descriptions.
Honor
List only acts of service or gifts that you believe you can execute.
Don’t put anything on the coupons you can’t follow through with, because these friendship vouchers should be honored and a representation of you keeping your word.
