Buy a Best Friend Pack get one for your Best Friend at Half Price - today only

September is National Friendship Month in the UK - a month long campaign to bring communities closer together and highlight the importance of friendship to the nation, coordinated by an organisation we'd not heard of before, The Oddfellows whose tagline is 'Making Friends and Helping People'. That sounds pretty good to us.

And today is Amy Poehler's birthday.

Amy's character in Parks and Recreation, Leslie Knope, hosts a Galentine's Day party for her girlfriends which sounds like an excellent thing to do. And Amy co-founded Smart Girls a great website for girls with her best friend Meredith Walker.

The site is for girls and young women (and not so young ones like it too) is packed full of devourable content - the ABCs including F is for Friendship , suggested adventures (we're big fans of 'inventing a new sandwich') and more. The concept of getting your hair wet is brilliant - it's not what you think!

Combining these two things means that today therefore is clearly peak best girlfriend day.

Get in touch with your best friend and tell her you love her. Or that she smells like waffles. Or whatever will make her smile.

Or maybe, like someone once told us they had done, send her a treacle tart through the post. (scroll down to Elly's ode to Meera)

Or buy yourself any pair of Pants and get her (or, you know, you. You can be your own friend) a Best Friend Pack at half price.... (add any Pants to your cart and it will pop up just as you check out)

From your friends at #pantsHQ - have a fab friendship month.
