Fun Things to do with Friends

Looking for fun things to do with friends? FriendPC understands that today, the common activities people do to have fun is to go out to clubs, bars, or restaurants. But what if you wanted to spend time with friends without spending a lot of money? Spending time with friends should not have to empty your pockets.

No matter where you might be located, there are plenty of ways to have fun without breaking your wallet. The secret to making your friendship last is not the amount of money you can spend to go somewhere, but the quality of time you spend with them.

Household Activities

If you are introverted or a homebody, nothing may sound more relaxing than spending time in the house. Which is why we would recommend spending time with other similar people by either conducting a:

Movie Marathon – Is there a show on Netflix or Hulu that you would like to binge with someone? Take an opportunity once a week to get with someone and watch a bundle of episodes so you can talk about it together. If you have a show that you loved that your friend hasn’t seen yet, use this as an opportunity to watch it again with them.

Potluck Dinner – Do you enjoy cooking or sharing recipes with other people? Host a luncheon or dinner party and ask people to bring a dish of their own to share. Even if you are not comfortable with cooking, this will bring you the opportunity to learn your friends recipes or learn from them by cooking something together. Such as how friends have annual Friendsgiving, set a time and date every week for friends to get together with a dish and spend a quality dinner together.

Board Game Night – Party games are underrated and should be utilized more. Whether you would like to play an adult party game, Monopoly or even Twister, suggest to your friends to have a night you all hang out without technology. This gives everyone a chance to not only hang out, but have insightful conversations that will be fun and engaging.

Video Games – Suppose you are not into board games, there is nothing wrong with proposing a video game session with other gamers. Although not as engaging as a card game can be, video games have the advantage of lasting longer when playing it with other people.

Inner Spa Day – You don’t have to go to a nail salon to treat yourself. Give each other a manicure and make facial masks while drinking mimosas. Your nails may not be professionally done, but it will bring you and your friends together as you gossip the latest news to each other.

Start a Club – Whether it be a book club, hobby club, sewing club or coupon club, think of an activity that you and your friends might be interested in. If you enjoy cooking, think of a cooking club you can host at your home weekly. FriendPC also offers you the chance to post events happening if you wanted to host your own club somewhere for other people to check out.

Outdoor Activities

If you are more comfortable with spending time outdoors, then FriendPC has some other suggestions that might suit you. Keep in mind to make any friendship last, you don’t have to spend money but you do have to spend time with them. To do fun things with friends, you just have to set time in your calendar.

National Parks – As difficult as it might be to consider hanging out at the park, we suggest trying it out. Whether you choose to hang out on top of a blanket, yoga, feed the ducks, people watch, pack a picnic or draw, the choice is yours. In some parks, you may even find free concerts that are hosted which would be a very relaxing way to relax with someone. Or perhaps you’re more interested in being active. Parks usually have sections where you can play baseball, ultimate frisbee, or even sparring with lightsabers.

Explore the Neighborhood – You would be surprised to discover what may be lying around your neighborhood when you search around it. If you find a yard sale, cruise around it and perhaps you will find something you may be interested in or even resell. If there is a nearby pool, take the opportunity to go swimming on a lazy afternoon. If all else fails, simply walk around and enjoy the sights, meet the neighbors, .

Local Tours – Most locations have a historic area where walking tours might be available. Not to mention there are free days at your local museums or zoos you can take advantage of too. Even tour a local brew house that includes free tastings. There are even local arts & crafts festival, or car shows where you can gaze at one piece for a long time to soak up everything there.

Nature Exploration – Go fishing, camping, or hiking with a group of your friends. Get out the bikes and bike everywhere for a weekend. A personal favorite activity me and my friends enjoy doing is going to the beach near us on sunny days. But perhaps you will be into stargazing.

There are more fun things to do with friends, but we wanted to layout some of the mainstream areas where you can spend time with them that won’t break your wallet. In the end, it’s not the location that matters the most, but the quality time you spend with your friends.

If you are still working on developing friendships or decrease your social anxiety, we recommend booking a friend to help you with that. On FriendPC, our Virtual Friends and Companions make it their mission to make you feel comfortable interacting with people and help you make friends.
