As Valentine’s Day approaches, you might be feeling bummed about not having a special someone to spend it with. Or, if you do have a lucky person to keep you company on V-Day, you might still want to show your love and appreciation for the gals in your life. Valentine’s Day with bae might be exciting, but nothing can top Galentine’s Day. Even if you’re skipping Valentine’s Day, Galentine’s Day is a must this year.
Celebrated as an unofficial holiday on February 13th, Galentine’s Day is all about your favorite ladies. The holiday was first coined by Leslie Knope on “Parks and Recreation” who says that, “it’s only the best day of the year!”, and the staff at VALLEY agrees. We all have so many amazing, important women in our life, so why not take a day to celebrate our love for them, too? Galentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to spoil your BFFs and girl gang (or your mom) with all their favorite things. Who doesn’t love a good face mask, candle or new pair of earrings?
Need some last-minute ideas? Here are eight gifts that are perfect for every gal in your life.
A Mini Polaroid Camera
