Galentine's Day Gifts
Galentine's Day is the ultimate celebration of female friendships on Feb. 13, made popular by 'Parks and Recreation.' It's a day to appreciate your besties, regardless of your relationship status, with thoughtful gifts, big and small! I’ve compiled gift ideas your girls (and YOU) will all love. Don’t forget to treat yourself, too. ;)
Kitsch Satin Pillow Cases, $16
These are my go-to for any “favorite things party” or gifts for friends. Why satin? Satin pillowcases are great for both hair and skin. Their smooth surface reduces friction, preventing hair breakage and helping to maintain hairstyles overnight. For the skin, satin minimizes the chance of wrinkles and doesn't absorb moisture, keeping your skin more hydrated compared to traditional cotton pillowcases.
Hold Everything Hair Claw Clips, $9
This is a cheaper version of the ever popular Kaxi Clip (which I also absolutely love). These Hold Everything Hair Claw clips clip to the side of your french twists so the clip is not digging into you head when you workout or drive.
Glass Cups with Lids, $12
I got these in a gift exchange at Christmas and they are so fun! They elevate any drink from Diet Coke to smoothies. I’m shocked they are only $12 because they seriously feel so luxe.
This is the perfect gift for any girlfriends trying to go a little cleaner, as glass drinkware is the preferred option. They are dishwasher safe which is a must.
Bonus: Add a Torani Flavor or pack of your Galentine’s favorite soda with this.
Thread Wallet, $16
If you don’t have one of these in your life, you’re missing out. Thread Wallets was founded by an incredible couple while they were in college. When you buy from them, you’re supporting a business that donates a lot of time and money to mental health.
Ever since hearing about these in 2015, I haven’t ever used another wallet. They always have new patterns that match any personality.
Cozy Slippers, $14
These trendy, cozy slippers fit the assignment for any friend. Who doesn’t like being cozy?
Five colors to pick from, you can’t go wrong. The best thing? Machine washable. Stinky slippers aren’t very cute.
If smileys aren’t your thing, check out these cute strawberry slippers.
Cosmetic Bag, $9
For the gal who loves to travel in style. This cute bag will keep her skincare easily accessible. You could fill the bag with other goodies like your favorite lip gloss, lotion, or even treats.
This bag is a similar bag to the super popular Stoney Clover bags. Try this one out before buying the real deal.
Shower Speaker, $15
Does your gal pal love Podcasts and Audiobooks? This is the gift for her. Seems extra, but once you have a shower speaker…you won’t go back. This one on Amazon is cute and has great reviews.
This speaker has a detachable suction cup. It’s water-resistant and splash-proof surface so you can use it indoors or outdoor in the shower, at the beach, in the pool, on your boat, etc.
LANEIGE Lip Mask, $24
This is such a classic girl gift. The cult classic overnight lip mask! The best thing about this mask is that it works while you sleep. This lip mask delivers intense moisture and antioxidants while you sleep for visibly smoother, baby-soft lips, perfect for Valentine’s Day. You don’t need to be a skin care aficionado to use this, it works for anyone wherever you are in your skincare journey.
