Cute friend date ideas

“Instead, the errand hang dances in the sweet vulnerability that comes from the everyday. Errand hangs sing: 'ok I’m a human and you’re a human and we’re going to take an intimate walk through this seemingly ordinary part of my life, but if you look closely, this moment will reveal something delightfully specific and illuminating to what makes me - me, and I want to share that with you because quite frankly - I just like your company, and even in the silence (sometimes especially in the silence) it makes me feel somewhere between warm and content to have you here beside me.'” - Annika Hansteen-Izora

We've all heard of the errand date - but what other types of “dates” can you go on with your friends? Here are a few ideas for inspo, from my latest zine, Cute Friend Date Ideas 💕
