Everyone has heard of Valentine’s Day, but have you heard of Galentine’s Day? It is a non official holiday, celebrated on February 13th. It originally started as an episode of the TV series, Parks and Rec. The episode, called Galentine’s Day, is from season 2 and is the 16th episode in the series. Since the episode aired, the idea for a day to celebrate female friendships began to take off. This resulted in the unofficial holiday Galentine’s Day that we have today.

No matter if you are a fan of Parks and Rec or want to celebrate your female friends, February 13th is a great way to do it. If you are struggling to think of presents or ways of celebrating the women in your life, here are seven ideas that could give you the inspiration you need!

Send Them a Card

A card may seem like a cliche gift, but a card can sometimes mean a lot to someone. This is why I recommend it on this list. It doesn’t need to be a Valentine’s Day or Galentine’s Day card. It could be a card with a beautiful design and words that mean a lot. A card can even be hand made or be a purchased card with a blank inside where you can write down whatever you want to.

 

Give Them Chocolates or Other Sweets

Chocolates and sweet treats in general are a common gift on Valentine’s Day. That’s way they would make a great gift for someone on Galentine’s Day. They can be store bought or make from scratch. Just make sure the recipient has dietary requirements. That way you can makes sure the sweets have ingredients they can eat!

 

Give Them a Flower In the Color of Friendship

If you know someone who loves flowers, give them a flower. You can give it to them in their favorite color, or you can give them one in a color that represents friendship. Check online or at a florist for more information about flower color symbolism.

 

Give Them a Book They May Enjoy

Books are something many people will enjoy receiving as a gift. Women too. If you don’t want to give them a novel, try looking for a coffee table book in a subject they will enjoy.

 

Take Them Out for a Meal

Taking someone out for a meal is great way to celebrate them on Galentine’s Day. The meal could be at a dinner at a fancy restaurant or just taking someone out for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. Also, asking a group of female friends out for a Galentine’s Day meal where everyone can get together, but everyone pays for the meals, are also a good idea for a group outing.

 

Go Out to a Movie With Them

Treating the women in your life to a movie is a great outing gift for Galentine’s Day. It also would give you the chance to spend time with them. It doesn’t need to be your friends either. You can take your family members such as your mother, sister, aunt, cousins, and even in-laws to the movie. Just make sure everyone wants to see the same movie!

 

Call Them on the Phone and Talk

The final way to celebrate the women in your life on Galentine’s Day is to call them on the phone and have a conversation. Yes, it can be as simple as that. You don’t need to buy them something and give it to them. Sometimes, a phone call is all they need. You can even video chat with them if you want to. Sometimes, doing this is more important and means more to someone than giving a gift ever could.

 

Well, that’s all for now! Thank you for reading!
