National Friendship Day was August 4,
2013, but Everything She Wants has decided to continue the celebration with
a giveaway from merci fine European chocolates.
While some friendships are for a season or a reason, other friendships are built to last a lifetime. I’m fortunate to have two best friends: Cindy, whom I’ve known since junior high school and Deanna, who started out as my amusing intern. Besides my mother and my husband, these girlfriends are my greatest confidants. They’re like the sisters I never had and we’ve supported each other through personal trials and triumphs.

So what better way to say ‘thank you’ to
your friends than with merci chocolates? One lucky reader will win a ‘Friendship

I've known my best friend about 25 years and we are as close as sisters. I can tell her everything and she keeps my secrets and gives me great advice and I do the same with her. Trust is the most important thing with a friendship.

My favorite thing about my best friend is our inside jokes. Sometimes we just look at each other and break out laughing. We get the strangest looks but we've been best friends for more then 20 years and it is great to be so close to someone like that.
