Why We Don't Celebrate Black Friday — But Bestie Friday

Why We Don't Celebrate Black Friday — But Bestie Friday

(for anyone in the middle of their roaring twenties)

When you're in your twenties—the real “roaring twenties” of your life—everything changes.
Your studies, work, relationships, self-image, dreams, friendships… it's all going in all directions. Sometimes it feels like you're in the middle of a glittering chaos that you both love and are drowning in.

And that is exactly why we at Lovely Gifts do not participate in the typical Black Friday madness.
No stress, no sale shouting, no “buy now or you’ll miss out” attitudes.
Instead, we introduce:
🎀 Bestie Friday 🎀
The day (well—the whole week) when you can treat yourself and your bestie. Because you need it. Because you deserve it. And because life is hectic enough as it is.


💗 Why Bestie Friday?

In your twenties you're figuring yourself out, but…
your besties are the ones who hold you along the way.

The years in which you:
✨ you have your first real job (or you have no idea what you want)
✨ sometimes you want everything at once: peace and adventure
✨ friendships that feel like family
✨ finally learning that self-care is not a luxury
✨ discover that small gifts can create magical moments

Black Friday doesn't fit in with that at all.
Way too aggressive. Way too commercial. Way too… meh.

But Bestie Friday ?
That fits exactly with what you do need.
Softness. Fun. Warmth. Gifts with meaning.
An excuse to let someone special know they matter — or to give yourself a little extra love.


🎁 The idea behind Bestie Friday

Instead of giving a discount (which is totally inappropriate for your handmade gifts), we do something different:
You will receive a special bestie gift with your order above a certain amount.

Why?
Because gifts are more fun than discounts.
Because you want to feel something, not just buy something.
And because twenty-somethings — with all their growth, chaos, dreams and glitter — deserve to be spoiled sometimes.


The real roaring twenties vibes

Your roaring twenties aren't necessarily glamorous (though sometimes they are), but they are full of:
💫 new phases
💫 unexpected twists
💫 maybe move
💫 maybe relationships that change
💫 friendships that grow stronger
💫 new plans
💫 new dreams

And again and again you learn:
you don't have to do it alone.

That's why Bestie Friday is all about connection.
Shopping together. Being creative together. Finding a moment of joy together amidst the hustle and bustle.
Or treat yourself — because let's be honest: sometimes you are your own bestie.

🌸 Conclusion: these are your twenties. Make them soft, fun, and meaningful.

Black Friday means chaos.
Bestie Friday is for you.
For your growth. Your friendships. Your creativity. Your little moments of happiness.
Because if there's one thing you learn in your roaring twenties, it's this:

✨ The best gifts are those you give to yourself — or to the people who will carry you into the future. ✨
