February 13th marks what is only the best day of the year. We are, of course, referring to Galentine’s Day, the holiday that rose to fame after it was first celebrated in a now-iconic episode of Amy Poehler‘s Parks and Recreation.
While Valentine’s Day itself can be fraught with pressure and emotion, Galentine’s is pure fun — and the perfect opportunity to celebrate the amazing ladies in our lives who are there for us us through the highest highs and lowest lows. Whether you’re celebrating with your gal pals in person, or they live on the opposite side of the country, a sweet and meaningful gift is always a great way to show your appreciation.
Not sure where to start? We’ve got you covered! Here are our ten favorite Galentine’s Day gifts.
Remember going to Claire’s in middle school and getting matching jewelry with your bestie? (Yin and Yang necklaces, anyone?) We love this adult twist on the friendship bracelet. It’s a pretty, sweet, and affordable way to carry a reminder of your friendship at all times.
We all have a friend (or five) who deserves some serious relaxation and self-care. Bring the spa to her with this set of four raw juice masks and a gua sha.
Corazón de Melón is a Cuban phrase that’s used as a term of endearment for everyone from significant others to pets. This candle is Albisa’s own unique interpretation of what Corazón de Melón would smell like: a fusion of honeydew, watermelon, cantaloupe, and refreshing cucumber.
Give your bestie some wall decor with this beautiful, sweet illustration of two friends arm in arm. It’s customazable to ensure you get the correct skin tone and hair color to represent you and your Galentine.
For the friend whose nails somehow always look picture perfect, this vegan, cruelty-free nail polish is perfect to create a fun and flirty look.
For the friend with a serious sweet tooth, Jeni’s has created an ice cream collection just for Valentine’s Day. It includes six flavors: brambleberry crisp, cookies in cream, gooey butter cake, honey vanilla bean, salted peanut butter with chocolate flecks, and wildberry lavender. We’re craving ice cream just thinking about this sweet collection!
Sure, you could write your friend a card vowing that you’ll support them through thick and thin — but these socks are a much more fun way to express the sentiment.
You can never go wrong with a bath bomb, and this massive heart shaped one is filled with dried flowers, petals, and buds.
Show your appreciation for your friend all year round with this bottle of 50 pre-written friendship messages. Your BFF can keep it handy and read a new message any time they please throughout the year.
Candy is dandy and it doesn’t give you a hangover — so look no further for the perfect gift for your chocaholic pal. These soaked Amarena cherries are coated with a dark chocolate heart, so they’re beautiful as well as delicious (obvi).
