Who says your BFF can’t be your Valentine? No one, that’s who. And that means we’re looking for the best Galentine’s Day gifts.
If you haven’t heard, Galentine’s Day is coming. That’s February 13th, people, so the countdown is on. Galentine’s Day, made famous by Parks & Rec’s sweetheart Leslie Knope, is the day we celebrate the ladies in our lives that make everyday so much better. And it falls the day before Valentine’s Day, so whether you’re in a romantic relationship or not, we can all fully dedicate ourselves to our lady friends for an entire day without conflicts. The only catch? Galentine’s Day is a relatively new idea, so you won’t see whole Target aisles dedicated to it or see it recognized on your calendar. We’re waiting for those things to happen, but in the meantime, we’ve gone ahead and made sure you don’t need shelves stocked with ideas, because we’ve got the best Galentine’s Day gifts right here.
We are super here for celebrating all the amazing women we’re surrounded by, and G-Day isn’t just for our BFFs, either. Moms, daughters, sisters, coworkers, aunts, nieces; they’re all part of what makes February 13th so special. And since they’re so special, we know you’re hunting for the perfect token of your appreciation. So, in true Leslie Knope fashion, we’ve made the ultimate best Galentine’s Day gifts list so you can focus on more important things to celebrate the ladies. Like brunch.
