Valentine’s Day isn’t just about romantic love anymore. Galentine’s Day started as an amusing joke in a 2010 Parks and Recreation episode, but in the 12 years since, it’s become a real thing — and a great excuse to gift your gal pals and celebrate female friendship. Send a little treat, or pick something bigger to give, but however you gift, it’s all about sharing the holiday with friends.
Peruse our handy Galentine’s Day gift guide for suggestions at every price point, for all types of gals. For that special bestie, perhaps gold heart studs are in order. For more casual pals, lower-priced items like chocolate bars or Wild Fable sunglasses might be more practical. Sending a gift like personalized stationery is a great way to let a long-distance friend know you care, and it’s also fun to celebrate a girls’ night out in-person — lipgloss is great for that! If you’ve got a friend who could use a pick-me-up, we found an inspirational candle. And your sensible pal would probably love a new winter beanie. Your skincare-obsessed bestie would go nuts for a subscription box, and your whimsical friend would love a fun animal vase. Check out our shopping suggestions and plan a great Galentine’s Day.
