Galentine’s Gift Ideas
Treat your girlfriends to a small gift in the spirit of the holiday!
Greetabl | The perfect gift for your long distance bestie. Upload personal photos and craft a special message for your customized Greetabl box and include a small treat inside.
Heart socks | Keep their toes warm with love.
TS Easter Eggs Puzzle | Your Switfie bestie will love this puzzle with hidden Taylor Swift lyrics and easter eggs. Invite her over to stream The Eras Tour and do the puzzle together!
Valentine Icon Juice Glass | I can’t get enough of these glasses from Anthropologie. The Valentine’s version is just too cute!
Sugarfina Candy Hearts | Sugarfina’s gummy candies are quite simply my favorite of all time, and the acrylic cube packaging is perfect for gifting.
At-Home V-Day Manicure | I’m a huge fan of everything Olive & June. Their press-on system has saved me so much time and money compared to getting my nails done at a salon! They just dropped a Valentine’s Day collection with the cutest polishes and press-ons.
Custom Hair Clip Valentines | If you’re looking for something personalized and festive, go for these cute clips with your friends’ names.
Heart Statement Necklace | This one is definitely a splurge, but if you’ve ever wanted to cosplay Barbie with your bestie, you can’t go wrong with Brinker + Eliza. Anthropologie makes a more budget-friendly version that also includes their initial.
