1. Post them on your Instagram.
Posting anything on social media makes it real. Let your sibs know they are *official* by posting a picture with a thoughtful caption to let the world know you care about them! And don't forget to use the hashtag #NationalSiblingDay

2. Recreate childhood photos.
Find an old family photo of you and your siblings together and receate the photo as best as you can. You will definitely be able to see how much you all have grown over the years!

3. Give them a gift.
Who doesn't love gifts. Let them know you've been listening to their brotherly or sisterly advice with a surprise gift of something they've been wanting for a long time.

4. Bake a cake together.
Perfect bonding time! Now you all will know who's the better baker.

5. Do an activity they enjoy doing.
Whether it's building a lego set, playing video games or learning a new dance, try doing it with them! They will be happy you are interested in trying something new, even if you're not great at it.

6. Watch a movie.
Clear the rest of your evening to catch the latest movie you've been meaning to see. Hopefully they don't talk the whole time!

The best way to anyone's heart is through their stomach. Surprise them with their favorite meal and they'll be sure to love you forever.

Stories are the best. Ask your parents to tell you all a funny story from when you were just babies.

9. Don't be mean to them.
If you're normally mean to them, give it a rest for at least this one day!

10. Tell them you love them.
