Friendships and Embroider Buddy® go hand-in-hand – after all, we’re all about celebrating best friends for life!

Today we’re sharing some fun ideas to help you honour and acknowledge the special friends in your life. The close bond we develop with our friends can be indescribable, and a personalized Buddy is the perfect gift to show them how much they mean to you.

Start by choosing the perfect Buddy

With over 60 designs (and counting!) there’s a Buddy that can be customized for everyone. The hardest part is choosing just one!

Is your bestie witty and intelligent like Pendrick Penguin Buddy? Or maybe they’re enthusiastic and charming like Cecil Sea Lion. Rabbits like Buddy Bunny are known for being loyal and passionate, while giraffes like our very own Googie Giraffe Buddy and Gerry Giraffe Buddy exude confidence and sophistication.

Sometimes our friends have a special connection to an animal or a favourite type of furry friend that makes the selection process easy. Check out our full listing of Buddies to find a perfect match for your BFF!

Decide on a special embroidered message

Selecting a special message to add to your Buddy with embroidery is where the fun really begins. Whether it’s an inside joke, a shared saying or a special date, there’s lots of embroidable real estate to accommodate your creativity on all our Embroider Buddy® designs!

Here are some other fun messages to consider:

• Laughing with a best friend is the best kind of laughter there is
• True friends are never apart, maybe in distance but never in heart
• Friends are the family we choose for ourselves
• When I count my blessings, I count you twice!
• Good friends are like stars: you don’t always see them, but you know they’re always there

Don’t forget the details!

Try choosing an embroidery floss or thread colour that reflects your friendship or one that you know is at the top of your bestie’s list of faves.
