With Valentine’s Day coming up in the next few days, who says you can’t celebrate the day of love and appreciation with your favorite gals? 

Introducing Galentine’s Day: a day where you celebrate your friends and family. The unofficial holiday was made popular by the television show Parks and Recreation, in the episode “Galentine’s Day”, where the main character Lesile Knope throws a breakfast brunch for all her friends, celebrating her friendships with each of them and how appreciative she is to be friends with them all. 

To help get you thinking about such an amazing event, here are some ideas! 

Gift Swapping 

Nothing is more loving than a gift to remind someone how they mean to you in the long run. GIfts can range from valentines to something regular, like a game or a gift kit. 

DIY Photo Booth 

With a green screen, some cut-out props and a camera, you can take any photo looking your best! Take some photos to remember the day and add cute posts to social media. 

Cupcake Baking 

Ice Cream might be too cold for this month so why not settle for a cupcake baking party? Nice and warm atmosphere and cute sprinkles, sounds like the perfect party to me! 

Movie Marathon 

Such an affordable and conventional evening to get out your popcorn and DVDs to binge watch some rom-coms such as First 50 Dates or How to Lose a Guy In 10 Days! 

Self-care Night 

Complete with skincare masks and hair oil, a self-care night is something everyone needs every once in a while. 

Friends or family, Galentine’s Day is a day celebrated yearly and can be celebrated by everyone. With that in mind, Happy Galentine’s Day!
