I have 2 close friends. We met through antenatal classes before our dc1s were born nearly 5 years ago. We are part of a wider antenatal group but the 3 of us have developed a really close friendship. We have been there for each other through some really tough times, including work issues, poorly children, pnd, birth of 2nd children, relationship breakdown etc etc. I think we all feel really strongly that times would have been a lot tougher without the others.
Anyway, we generally give presents to each others children and perhaps token presents for mums. I would really like to give a gift to show my appreciation for them as friends, and to somehow represent what they mean to me. I was thinking about getting 'friendship bracelets'for the 3 of us, something like this.
What do you think? Is this hideously naff and cingeworthy, or would you appreciate and be touched by the gesture?
