If you grew up with siblings, you\u2019ve undoubtedly had your rough patches. Whether your sister \u2018borrowed\u2019 your clothes for nights out or your brother loved nothing better than to tackle you into furniture, it can be tough having a sibling. But the relationship we have with our siblings can be one of the most defining relationships of our lives \u2013 and it\u2019s worth celebrating them every once in a while. Lucky, then, that there\u2019s a National Siblings Day to make the most of.<\/span><\/p>\n

Show your big bro or little sister that you love them despite years of insulting each other under your breath, elbowing each other in the car, telling on each other to your mum and dad \u2013 you know, sibling stuff. In case the warm familial feelings aren\u2019t flowing, let us help you get started with some ideas on how to celebrate National Siblings Day.<\/span><\/p>\n

When is National Siblings Day?<\/b><\/h2>\n

National Siblings Day is celebrated in the US and Canada on April 10<\/span>th<\/span>, while there\u2019s a Brothers and Sisters Day on May 31<\/span>st<\/span> in Europe. But you don\u2019t have to wait for National Siblings Day to tell your brother or sister how much you love them!<\/span><\/p>\n

How to appreciate your siblings for Siblings Day<\/b><\/h2>\n

You don\u2019t have to go all out to show your brother or sister some love. Here are a few cute ideas of how you can show your siblings that you appreciate them, and say \u2018Happy Siblings Day\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

Put together a slideshow of your favourite memories<\/b><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re not quite feeling up to putting together a full scrapbook, you can still relive some beloved childhood memories with a slideshow. Scan or photograph some snaps from when you were kids \u2013 the more embarrassing the better \u2013 and use your phone\u2019s Photos app or a free app like Canva to create a little slideshow you can send to them. Aww, aren’t you just the sweetest?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Buy them lunch<\/b><\/h3>\n

They say there\u2019s no such things as a free lunch, but it\u2019s time to prove them wrong. Arrange to meet up and buy your brother or sister lunch and have a good catch up \u2013 choose their favourite food if you’re being selfless, or take them to your favourite place if you’re looking for an excuse to treat yourself. Hey, we said appreciate your siblings, not stop teasing them altogether.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Watch a movie together<\/b><\/h3>\n

Pick a childhood classic \u2013 the kind of movie you watched so often you wore out the VHS or insisted you watch the DVD once a year, minimum. Get together for a good giggle – drinking game rules optional.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Play siblings trivia<\/b><\/h3>\n

If you’re willing to put in a bit of prep work, this is a super funny idea the whole family can enjoy. Get a list of facts about your siblings, and take it in turns asking to see just how well you really know each other until one of you is declared the Ultimate Sibling.<\/p>\n

Fancy making it a bit more competitive? Make your trivia more like the Newlywed Game. Give each sibling name cards, sit back-to-back, and ask questions like ‘who always got the top bunk on holiday?’, ‘who’s the most stylish sibling?’ or something like ‘who was the mean one growing up?’ – we’re sure that<\/em> one won’t start any family debates.<\/p>\n

Recreate an old family photo<\/b><\/h3>\n

Get inspired by the hilarious family photo recreations that go viral on social media and get together to replicate a treasured snap from the family photo album! If you\u2019re looking for some inspiration,<\/span> check out BoredPanda<\/span><\/a> for some hilarious re-enactments.<\/span><\/p>\n

Celebrate the guy who\u2019s always had your back (and understands your complaining about your parents) with a<\/span> hilarious brother card<\/span><\/a>, from the huge range here at thortful.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sister cards to make her smile<\/b><\/h2>\n

Some sisters are like best friends you didn\u2019t have to make \u2013 even if you\u2019re in a huff with each other sometimes. Show your sister some love with a<\/span> funny sister card<\/span><\/a>, with hilarious designs and snarky slogans. Whether it\u2019s to say happy birthday or just a \u2018thanks for everything\u2019, say it with a funny sister card that will get her giggling.<\/span><\/p>\n
