You and your gal pals have been through everything together—breakups, bad bosses, botched dye jobs—and while we believe in honoring the soul-enhancing connection of female friendship daily, Galentine's Day on February 13th is the perfect time to kick it with your lady friends, as Leslie Knope on Parks and Recreation would say, and celebrate one another.
You could go all out by decking your place with party decor, then hosting your galentines for a bottle of bubbly or wine, a rom-com movie marathon, and a gift exchange. Or, you could simply send your far-flung bestie a snail mail surprise—a small present to show her how much you appreciate her kinship. (Want to make your person feel even more loved? Buy a few items for your Galentine—like, say, the zodiac candle, pretty pajama set, and Golden Girls wine glass—and put together a thoughtful gift basket or box.)
No matter what you do on Galentine's Day, there are plenty of creative ideas that serve as the perfect gesture for the heartfelt holiday. Whether you're searching for something pampering like a rose-infused clay mask, cozy like an all-enveloping wearable sherpa blanket hoodie, or a personalized locket set (one for each of you!), these thoughtful, unique, and (mostly) inexpensive Galentine's Day gifts are the perfect way to show the Oprah to your Gayle that you truly hope you'll be friends forever.
