We all know of Valentine’s Day, but over the years, “Galentine’s Day” has become an incredibly popular holiday. Galentine’s Day originated from the famous mockumentary TV show “Parks and Recreation,” particularly episode 16 of season two when Leslie and her friends gather to share gifts, play games and have fun on Feb. 13. While Galentine’s Day isn’t until next month, it’s never too early to start shopping for your girls!
Personally, I don’t need a special holiday to treat my besties to something special, but I love getting together and showing them some appreciation and love. And while I can’t necessarily give my friends the world, I can show up at their doorstep with some amazing gifts. Below, I’ve rounded up a list of top Galentine’s Day gifts your gal pals are sure to love, from chocolate to jewelry to blankets. And prices start at just $10.
