National Friendship Day 2019: What is History of Friendship Day?

National Friendship Day in India this year is on Sunday, August 4, 2019. An easy way to remember is that Friendship Day is celebrated on the first Sunday of August each year. We share this day with Malaysia and the UAE amongst other countries. Created and started as a commercially driven event by Hallmark (the US based Greeting Card Company) in the 1920’s, this day lost its foot-holding in America due to the negative sentiments by consumers as it was more commercially driven. That said, it did propagate to other parts of the world, and is now a major event in India every year. The United Nations also made this day official in 1988 by naming Winnie the Pooh (Disney Character) as the official Ambassador for Friendship Day. International Friendship Day is now celebrated on July 30 every year. Many countries in Europe consider Valentine’s Day as Friendship Day as well. In this post we will focus on this wonderful day in India, and try to give you some wonderful Friendship Day special gift ideas.
