It’s your bestie’s time to shine
It’s February, which means Galentine’s Day is almost upon us. Yup, you heard us correctly. Taking place on Feb 13 (the day before Valentine’s Day), it’s an annual holiday dedicated entirely to female friendship – and we’re 10000% here for it.
Popularised by the great Leslie Knope (shout out to Parks and Recreation fans), Galentine's Day is an opportunity to show your friends a little love. Whether it’s supporting you through hard decisions, making you laugh till you cry, or all those times they’ve held your hair back after a big night out, your pals never let you down. So, it’s time to remind them how much you appreciate it.
We’ve found loads of cute gifts, from flowers and cupcakes delivered straight to your friend’s door, to self-care kits and snuggly loungewear to up her comfort levels. There are also some treats in there for you to enjoy together – bottomless brunch, anyone?
Here are our favourite Galentine’s Day gifts for 2023, so you can spoil your besties like they deserve.
