You've got a friend in me!
Gift giving is a universal love language and what better way to tell your mate or gang of friends that you care. This International Friendship Day, GulfWeekly lists down some out-of-the-box ideas to surprise your loved ones. 1) Eco-friendly Friend Lately, mindful gifts have been gaining popularity. Perhaps a plant or a herb garden kit, or a solar-powered gadget. Other options include sustainable clothing or makeup, plantable greeting cards, reusable water bottles … be creative! 2) Customisable blocks They are all the rage on TikTok. Many companies create sets that let you build a Lego replica of a pet or even a favourite fictional character. If this doesn't make you the favourite friend, we don't know what else will! 3) Re-create old memories This was a viral trend on social media a while ago, with some content creators still producing similar videos, where they stitch an old photo in which they're posing in a particular style or wearing certain coloured clothes, or standing in a certain order, with a new photo posing and standing in the same way, showing the efflux of time a decade or more later. 4) A radio message Leave words of endearment for that special human in your life at the local radio station. Most channels will be willing to air the messages with the person's name. That way, all of Bahrain gets to witness the affection you have for each other. 5) Memory book This one's great especially for a long-distance friend. Gather memorabilia, like old movie tickets or photographs from over the decades, and assemble a treasure trove of precious moments. Nothing screams 'I love you' like a hand-made gift because it shows that you were willing to put in the effort. 6) Artistic tribute Commission a local artist to paint or sketch a portrait for your friend. Perhaps a caricature of them or one with their pet. The idea of a gift is to give something people wouldn't typically buy for themselves. It is a fun gift, which also supports local talent – what's not to like! 7) Offbeat adventures Get out of your comfort zones together. Embark on that long-planned trip to sky dive in Spain, or sign up for a cooking class or a yoga or spin session at the gym. It's now or never! 8) Girls just want to have fun There's nothing like pouring your heart out to your girls in between sips of bubbly and pretty-looking bites. Book an afternoon tea with your pals.

Kerala Vlogger Turns Bald Head into Billboard
In a quirky twist of creativity, Kerala-based travel vlogger Shafeek Hashim has turned his bald head into a walking advertisement — and it's already earning him money. The 36-year-old from Alappuzha, who is known for his YouTube travel videos, recently signed his first advertising deal worth Rs50,000 for a three-month campaign. The brand? A hair and skin clinic based in Kochi — whose logo is now tattooed on the back of his shiny scalp. From Hair Worries to Headlining Ads Speaking to The New Indian Express, Shafeek shared how the idea came about when he was considering a hair transplant. But instead of going under the needle, he decided to embrace his baldness and flip the narrative. 'Baldness is natural — why be ashamed of it?' he said. 'I thought, what if I turned it into a creative opportunity instead?' So, he posted an offer online, inviting companies to use his head as advertising space during his video shoots. The idea took off, attracting media attention and interest from brands. 'Bald is Beautiful — and Profitable' As part of his deal, Shafeek will feature the temporary tattoo in at least three YouTube videos, with close-up shots making sure the logo is clearly visible. The tattoo itself is safe and removable with chemicals, but Shafeek believes the concept is here to stay. 'I might be the first in India — or even the world — to rent out my bald head for brand ads,' he laughed. 'It's not just about going viral. It's about changing how people see baldness and promoting body confidence.' Owning His Story On Instagram, Shafeek opened up about being teased during his college years for his baldness. Now, he's using that same experience to spark conversation, turn heads (literally), and earn from what once made him self-conscious. 'Confidence can turn anything into a strength,' he says — and in his case, it's making a statement one video at a time.

Woolly warmth
melissa@ A crocheted wollyback, reminiscent of the popular labubu toy, is winning the hearts of people in Bahrain as it aims to raise awareness about autism and support individuals on the spectrum. Arroy the Lamb, dubbed as the 'Bahraini Labubu', is a fun twist on the viral international trend, and is the initiative of Alia Early Intervention and Rehabilitation Centre, which has designed it as an extension of a story series to help young minds navigate difficult situations. The toy was brought alive through a collaboration with Bahraini women specialising in local handmade products, and continues to be handcrafted by bright young individuals at the Alia centre. It is based on Arroy, a lovable character steeped in Bahraini culture and widely featured in children's stories. 'Grandparents tell these tales when children in the family do not listen,' the centre's public relations head Khalid Al Awadhi explained, adding that their new story, entitled Arroy the Lamb, hopes to help children, including young adults at the centre, with the anxiety associated with hospital visits. 'It is a story for all kids and the first in a planned series of social stories designed to help children understand everyday situations in a calm, reassuring way,' Khalid added. 'It was developed through collaboration between our students, teachers and therapists, so it really reflects what our children need to see and hear. The aim is to build confidence, reduce anxiety, and make these experiences feel familiar and safe.' Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurological and developmental condition marked by disruptions in brain signalling that cause people to behave, communicate, interact and learn in atypical ways. Currently, Alia centre works with 160 individuals on the spectrum, aged from six to 45 years. The toy, Arroy the Lamb, and the story book are available at Halla by Alia café in A'ali, the kingdom's first café run by young adults with autism. Proceeds from the sales of the toy will be used towards the centre and for the individuals it works with. 'Arroy is more than a handmade toy; it's a symbol of connection,' the centre's director Dr Shaikha Rania Al Khalifa told GulfWeekly. 'Watching our students and team bring Arroy to life reminds me daily that small things, made with care, can make a big difference,' she added. Each Arroy is handmade by the centre's boys and girls, giving it a one-of-a-kind charm. 'Every purchase helps students develop creative and work skills while raising public awareness about autism. It's a small symbol of Bahraini creativity, inclusion, and community spirit,' said an employee at the centre, who works directly with the young adults. 'Crocheting Arroy with the children has been such a grounding experience. You see them relax, follow patterns, and express themselves. It helps them handle big feelings in a gentle, tangible way,' the employee added. While there are no treatments or cures for autism, intervention with supportive measures, including speech therapy, occupational therapy, social skills training, sensory integration therapy, visual aids, structured routines, individualised education plans, family therapy and providing a calm and predictable environment, remains critical for improving cognitive, social and communication skills in children with ASD. The Arroy toy is priced at BD16.
