10 Best Galentine’s Day Gifts for Your Platonic Soulmate
From friendship bracelets to sweet treats, these gifts are perfect for your gal pals.
February 13th marks what is only the best day of the year. We are, of course, referring to Galentine’s Day, the holiday that rose to fame after it was first celebrated in a now-iconic episode of Amy Poehler‘s Parks and Recreation.
While Valentine’s Day itself can be fraught with pressure and emotion, Galentine’s is pure fun — and the perfect opportunity to celebrate the amazing ladies in our lives who are there for us us through the highest highs and lowest lows. Whether you’re celebrating with your gal pals in person, or they live on the opposite side of the country, a sweet and meaningful gift is always a great way to show your appreciation.
Not sure where to start? We’ve got you covered! Here are our ten favorite Galentine’s Day gifts.

We’re craving ice cream just thinking about this sweet collection!
Sure, you could write your friend a card vowing that you’ll support them through thick and thin — but these socks are a much more fun way to express the sentiment.
You can never go wrong with a bath bomb, and this massive heart shaped one is filled with dried flowers, petals, and buds.
