Weβve already got bucket lists for seasons, for life and for travel, but howβs your bucket list of things to do with your best friend shaping up? Creating one might be something thatβs never even crossed your mind, but itβs something you should do for many reasons. Most importantly, conquering goals, doing fun activities, and having new experiences with your BFF will create a lifetime of memories.
From watching your favorite TV shows to traveling the world, these are my recommendations for the ultimate adventures to have with your bestie. So grab a pen and paper and get started on your very own best friend bucket list!
The Ultimate Best Friend Bucket List: Ideas, Goals & Fun Things to Do With Your BFF
1. Binge Watch a TV Series
How about getting together with some snacks, comfortable jammies, maybe mani-pedis and face masks, and spending chill time together binge watching a fun TV series? This is an easy way to spend time together β just put on Netflix or Amazon Prime and stream the show together!
Maybe thereβs a TV show youβve both loved and are eager to watch again while commenting on all the points youβd forgotten about? Or maybe youβd like to try out a new one together?
The Office, Friends and Grey’s Anatomy are pretty popular series, but if you and your BFF are struggling to find a show, then my 100 best TV shows to binge-watch list will help you out.
2. Volunteer
Like the old adage says, itβs better to give than to receive. There are plenty of causes, from animal shelters to soup kitchens, which would appreciate our earnest help. Get together with your best friend to choose a cause you want to volunteer for, then go ahead and do it! Not only will it be meaningful, but itβll be plenty of fun. You can even make this goal a monthly thing!
Donβt know where to start? Visit VolunteerMatch who has opportunities in many major cities or check the United Way website.
3. Explore a New City Together
One of the most fun things Iβve done with my BFF has been to explore a new city together. Trying to figure out where youβre on the map, taking a billion photos of yourselves in front of iconic spots, testing new funky restaurants and getting swept up in adventuresβ¦ Whatβs not to love?!
4. Go on a Shopping Spree
Going shopping together with your best friend has been a popular bonding activity since at least the creation of shopping malls! Having your BFF there to support and encourage you with buying new outfits adds an extra spark on the already fun activity that shopping in general is.
Your good friend is best for telling you what absolutely does not fit you and what you totally should bring home with you.
5. Be Roommates
Becoming roommates with your BFF can be the best (or worst) thing you do! If youβre a good fit to live together, you get to hang out all the time! Plus, so many more amazing and crappy moments get shared between the two of you, possibly bonding you for life. Becoming roommates can also be a great test of your friendship, hopefully one youβll find insightful and valuable.
6. Go to a Paint (& Wine) Night
You might have heard about these creative events where you can learn to paint a masterpiece while sipping on wine, but now itβs time to try it out for yourself! Ring up your BFF, choose the event to try and go have an absolute blast painting while drinking wine. Open up Google right now to find your local areas paint & wine night β thereβs probably one arranged closer to you than youβd imagine.
If you don’t want to leave the house, then opt for an evening doing an adult paint by number kit!
7. Get Mani-Pedis
Especially if there is a special occasion coming up, getting your nails done together is a great way to bond, all the while letting a professional create some gorgeous nail art on you.
To show the world just how close you are with your BFF, how about matching mani-pedis? Choose a color or design youβll both love to wear and pop a photo on Instagram once youβre done to show off your cool mani-pedis!
8. Get Matching Tattoos
Ready to make your friendship truly eternal? Head over to a tattoo shop and get matching tattoos! Even better if itβs something with special meaning to you two, like an inside joke or a memory.
Need cute best friend tattoo ideas? Oprah Daily has 23 great matching tattoo ideas! If youβre not committed to a forever tattoo, then check out Etsyβs temporary tattoos (I personally LOVE the Pinky Swear Tattoo).
9. Do Each Otherβs Makeup
Before you head out the door for a girlsβ night out, why not make the night extra special and do each otherβs makeup in preparation? Itβll be a fun way to get ready and to include some additional giggles in your evening, before youβve even left the house!
10. Go on a Girls-Only Trip
Going on a trip with your BFF or a small group of female friends is one of the most incredible ways to bond. Youβll get to create special memories together, share new experiences with one another, and have a great time in each otherβs company as you travel and explore.
11. Bake Cupcakes
Letβs face it. Itβs enjoyable to eat just the frosting. But try to refrain, and set up shop on the kitchen counter for some serious baking. Find a yummy recipe online or get inspired by the signature cocktail and try creating your own recipe.
There doesnβt even need to be a special event coming up, you can just bake cupcakes to treat yourselves on any random Tuesday.
It doesnβt matter the flavor of cupcakes, but If your creative juices arenβt flowing, these 36 cupcake recipes will help (and so will this top rated cupcake pan).
12. Set Each Other Up on Blind Dates
Nobody knows your taste in partners better than your best friend! So if one of you is ever single and ready to mingle, why not set your BFF up for a blind date? Even if nothing long lasting comes out of it, it might make for a fun story to recount over some wine.
13. Take a Cooking Class
Thereβs so many benefits to attending a cooking class whether it’s solo or for your best friend bucket list. But, with the two off you together youβll get to have a blast laughing as you try β and maybe fail β in creating something delicious; and then youβll get to eat your successful creations!
14. Find Your Favorite Brunch Spot
You may have to do A LOT of research for this best friend bucket list goalβbummer! Has one of you already discovered an unbeatable spot for having brunch or have you heard of some place delicious that you’ve been meaning to try? If yes, then it’s time to get to eating. Keep trying different spots until you find the one that both of you love.
15. Drink Rose All Day
Get together with your BFF on a day off (especially if the day after will be free as well!), pop open a bottle of delicious rose, and enjoy a chill day of girl talk and maybe some movies. Thereβs never a time when this isnβt just what you need!
16. Take BFF Selfies
A fun way to immortalize your friendship is by taking selfies together! You can easily snap fun ones on the go. Or you could put on a whole photoshoot with a theme and outfits thought out in advance; either going for a super silly look or your own fashion photoshoot! Once you have a load of BFF selfies to choose from, print a few of them and form a lovely collage on your bedroom wall.
If you need a hand to getting the best photo, try using the ATUMTEK 51″ Selfie Stick Tripod (it’s the one I use all the time!). It’s got a bluetooth remote shutter, so you two can snap pictures for hours until you get the perfect one.
17. Have a Spa Day
Sometimes life gets stressful and thereβs nothing better than taking an entire day to relax with your BFF. Decide you two need some pampering and go book that spa day, either at a local spa or make it an overnight trip over the weekend to a great spa in a different region.
18. Go on a Camping Trip
As far as things to do with your best friend go, a camping trip is something truly rejuvenating. Spending some time in nature away from technology and stress of daily life, roasting hot dogs and eating sβmores, and maybe finding a lake to chill by, is some of the best time youβll spend together!
While your out in the wilderness, why not check some things off our bucket of fun camping activities!
19. Have a Girls Night In
Get into your cutest PJs, order some pizza, pop open a bottle of wine, and have a blast with a night in! You definitely donβt need to leave the house for a great time with your BFF, and sometimes staying in for the night is more fun than going out.
20. Ride a Scary Roller Coaster
When you have your best friend by your side, even that scary roller coaster will look just a little bit less so. And even if it happens to be terrifying, sharing that experience will make it worth it and exceptionally fun.
21. Write Each Other Letters to Be Opened in the Future
Writing a letter to your future self is already popular to do, but what if you wrote a letter to the future version of your BFF? Inside the letter you can share why they are important to you and your hopes for your friendship in the future. This is such a meaningful and unique bucket list idea to have and cross off for your friendship!
22. Create a BFF Hashtag
These days weβre all obsessed with visualizing our lives on Instagram. Which means itβs time to take your friendship further and make yourselves IG official! Create a hashtag for you and your bff to use whenever you post photos that relate to your friendship.
23. Have a Beach Day
Whenever summer rolls around and the weather gets amazing, you better not miss out on taking your BFF out for a beach day! An awesome, chill day at the beach should really be a general bucket list item, on every kind of bucket list you create.
24. Throw a Dinner Party
Another fun way to spend an evening without going out is by throwing a dinner party! Whether youβll arrange one just for you and your best friend or if you co-host one with all your friends invited is up to you. Or, you could even do both!
25. Pull an All Nighter
It doesnβt have to be just because you are both cramming for a test, it can also be for something fun. For example, you may want to have an overnight horror movie marathon or youβll want to stay up to see the first sunrise of the year.
26. Stalk All Your Exes on Social Media
In case you ran out of things to talk about as you drink that rosΓ© mentioned above, or just feel like youβre in the mood for it, sometimes a little bit of stalking your exes on social media does no harm!
27. Go to Disneyland
Put on one of those cute headbands you can get at Disneyland β matching, if possible β and make good use of that BFF Hashtag as you conquer Disneyland and its rides. Before heading out, you could even make a Disneyland Bucket List of all the things to do together while there!
28. Go to a Bonfire
Especially on the summer and fall evenings, attending a bonfire is a lovely way to finish off a day. You can even do it the same day you’re checking off have a beach day from your bucket list. Having your best friend there with you to experience it only makes it all the more special.
29. Go Wine Tasting
If you both like to drink wine, then sometimes you might want to change from an afternoon of rosΓ© to go out for wine tasting instead. There are plenty of restaurants offering such an experience, but look into possible wineries near your area, as well.
30. Go on a Double Date
Are you really BFFs if you donβt do this at least once?! If both of you are taken, then arrange for a night out with all four of you joining the fun. Or even better, if you both are single, how about a double blind date of sorts?
31. Be Each Otherβs Maid of Honor
Perhaps the ultimate bucket list goal on your best friend bucket list is this: being each otherβs maid of honor! Thereβs hardly a better indication of how close of a bond the two of you have than having this amazing honor.
And is there anything more meaningful that you two could do for each other than help plan for each otherβs weddings?
32. Help Each Other With a Bedroom Makeover
If one of you is moving homes or in general wants to change up their bedroom dΓ©cor, a fun way to decorate the bedroom is by doing so together. Maybe one of you has a great idea that youβll execute together, or perhaps youβll even plan it from scratch together!
33. Play Mini-Golf
Although Iβm rubbish at it, one of my favorite activities with a friend is to play mini-golf together. It can be really hard to hit that tiny ball into a clowns moving mouth, but the worse you are at it, the more fun (or at least funnier) it can actually be!
34. Buy Matching Best Friend Jewelry
Though typically likened as something girls in middle or high school might do, it can be charming to do with each other even as adults. Either buy actual best friend bracelets, or simply go for matching set of jewelry. Head over to Etsy for some of the cutest best friend jewelry!

36. Have a Board Game Night
This is something Iβve found myself eager of doing with my best friends for some time now! Stay in for the evening, get cozy in your jammies and have a game night marathon with your closest friends. There are different games for everyone, but Scrabble is a favorite for almost everyone.
My favorite adult game night involves a few fierce rounds of Cards Against Humanity, but Smart Ass and Drink-A-Palooza will also make it a lively night. Still unsure of which games to play? Check out this list: Board Games Bucket List: 50 of the All Time Best Ones to Play
37. Join a Book Club

You can be a hero to someone without being there in person. One of the things you can do is by donating some of your blood. Some of the benefits of donating blood include reduced stress and improved overall well-being. It can give you some insight into your overall health.
If you plan to donate blood regularly, you need to keep yourself fit and healthy. This can also be a great way for you and your best friend to bond.
For a little inspiration you can read about my experience of Giving Blood and also get more information for teen donors on the Red Cross website.
95. Jump Into a Pool Fully Clothed
I know some of you might think this is total nuts. Still, fun is fun. Plus, a little bit of craziness wonβt hurt. Whether it is a dare or just your adrenaline kicking in, jumping into a swimming pool fully clothed with your best buddy sounds like something worth adding to your things to do.
You can also make this crazier if you jump into a swimming pool while wearing formal attire! Just donβt forget to bring extra clothes with you and youβre good to go.
96. Crash a Party
Generally, you are going to spend time with your best friend and go to similar events together. But, sometimes there might be one party that you didnβt get an invite to but really want to go to. You may want to consider crashing that, attending it without the invite. It can be quite thrilling and fun because it allows you to hang out with a new bunch of strangers.
97. Fly First Class
Flying first class with your best friend is a unique way to start the experience in style, especially if itβs a long flight. Some perks include less stress and hassle from checking in and boarding, comfortable seats/bed, free drinks and food, even amenities like Wi-Fi and TV.
While it is by no means cheap, the luxury and comfort it offers will ensure that you are well-rested and looking forward to the journey ahead once you arrive at your destination!
98. Get Drinks at a Trendy Rooftop Bar
Rooftop bars are enticing places to linger since they give additional ambiance. The city lights from above, the light chatter in the background, and on rare occasions, stars in the sky, drinking on a rooftop bar with your best friend is a a great experience you should try at least once.
99. Tailgate
Event tailgating is almost as fun as the event themselves! Tailgating is typically done in a parking lot of a stadium or other big event. Snacks are served and socializing is done from the back of a parked car.
100. Stay in a Cabin in the Woods
Whether youβre both the adventurous type or simply looking for a cozy and quiet getaway, staying at a cabin surrounded by nature is the perfect place to be. From going on a river adventure to relaxing by the fire to enjoying the scenic views, youβll never run out of things to do with your best friend!
With all these great ideas and activities, you will have plenty of things to do with your best friend for many years to come. Let me know in the comments which ones youβve added to your best friend bucket list and which ones youβve already done with your BFF. Cheers to you and your bestie!
