Galentine’s Day

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Everyone knows Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. But let’s get our priorities straight: so is Galentine’s Day.

What’s Galentine’s Day, you ask?

Galentine’s Day is a day where you celebrate your lady friends and is traditionally observed on they day before Valentine’s Day. In a world where women are typically pitted against each other {as if there isn’t room enough for all of us}, Galentine’s Day proudly declares that we will support each other and celebrate our differences whatever they may be. So this year, be sure to send your lady friends a very special Galentine’s Day wish. And while you’re at it, check out this list for some awesome gift ideas, too.

For the gal pal who loves to travel, how about a scratch off world map? You can find several options at the veryberrysticker shop on Etsy.

 

If you have several besties, nothing says #squadgoals like stackable initial rings. Find them here.

Let your galentine know why she’s so awesome with this handy dandy fill-in-the-blank journal. Also found at ModCloth.

 

If DIY doesn’t scare you, why not attempt these super cute marbled mugs? I found this lovely image over at ShanMade, but there are dozens of tutorials on YouTube, Pinterest, and lifestyle/diy blogs on the interwebs. Even Buzzfeed has one! These are great if you and your bestie love to gab over a warm cup of tea or coffee. Or whiskey. {Shhh…I won’t tell.}

 

What could be more appropriate than pink champagne truffles for your best gal pal? These are a top seller over at Charbonnel Chocolates

 

This Galentine’s Day, be sure to let your best lady gal pals know you celebrate them, you opalescent tree shark, you! I remember one Galentine’s Day weekend some years ago a bestie and I holed ourselves in her apartment, ordered takeout, and spent the weekend watching The Godfather trilogy. What a beautiful weekend that was.

How are you and your besties celebrating this year?
