- Send a voice note. Hearing your voice means more than reading a message, especially if you live far apart.
- Make it a game. Send your wish together with a Diwali quiz about yourself and see if your best friend really knows you. A real best friend should get 10 out of 10. Read more about the Diwali friendship quiz.
