14 Gifts Your Galentine Will Love For Under $100
Valentine’s Day may be for lovers, but Galentine’s Day is for everyone else.
What is Galentine’s Day?
Typically celebrated by women and their friends, it’s a great day to celebrate the “gal pals”in your life. Gal + Valentine = Galentine! The heart of this fun holiday is celebrating female friendships and the appreciation you have for your lady friends.
How did Galentine’s Day Start?
This fake holiday is only about a decade old and started by a character, Leslie Knope, on the show Parks and Recreation in 2010. Leslie used the day before Valentine’s Day, February 13th, to take her favorite lady friends out to a waffle-centric brunch and give them thoughtful gifts. This made up holiday quickly gaining popularity and now many people prefer a Galentine Day party over the traditional one on the calendar.
How should I celebrate Galentine’s Day?
While this holiday is completely made up, this holiday to celebrate the women in your life is something we could completely get behind. Having a virtual brunch with your friends, sending them a thoughtful card, or just calling them to tell them how much you appreciate them are all good ways to celebrate.
Is Galentine’s Day a gifting holiday?
It can be! If you love giving gifts like we do, and want to celebrate your best friend, sister, favorite-coworker, mother, or any other person who puts the “gal” in Galentine, we’ve got a gift guide sure to delight and fit any budget.
