National Friendship Day is celebrated this year on July 30. It’s a special opportunity to nurture relationships, new and old.

The first Sunday of August was declared an American holiday by a Proclamation made by the United States Congress over 85 years ago, in 1935. Other countries have been inspired by its popularity and success in the U.S. and now, Friendship Day is celebrated around the world. In April 2011, the United Nations made July 30th International Friendship Day. Whether you celebrate the first Sunday of August or on July 30th, Friendship Day is a great day to celebrate your existing friendships through appreciation or foster new ones!


Traditional Friendship Day Celebrations

A traditional Friendship Day celebration includes meeting your friends and exchanging cards, flowers or gifts. What better meet-up is there than sharing a cup of coffee or tea with your best friend on Friendship Day? Enjoying your favorite beverages from custom mugs– that’s what. In fact, drinking from a personalized ceramic mug can be good for your health! Here’s how:


Top 8 Health Benefits of Ceramic Pottery

Ceramics are made from a mixture of clay and water that is shaped and fired. The art of pottery is described as therapeutic and relaxing.


1. Creative expression – opens up the mind and relieve worry.


2. Increased optimism – improves flow and spontaneity, provides an outlet for grief and bolsters self-esteem.


3. Improved focus– concentrating on the art helps the mind to relax and expand.


4. Encourages experimentation– artistic expression expands who we are and how we connect to ourselves and the environment.


5. Reduces stress– through the sense of touch.


6. Strengthens hands, wrists, and arms – with gentle joint movement that improves dexterity.


7. Improves quality of life – by learning a new hobby and making memories with artwork that has the potential to last forever.


8. Encourages sociability– especially on holidays like Friendship Day; what fun it is to share your ceramic creations with the ones you love!
