Galentine’s Day, celebrated on February 13th, is a joyful, modern tradition dedicated to honoring female friendships. Coined by the character Leslie Knope on the TV show Parks and Recreation, this unofficial holiday has grown beyond the small screen to become a widely embraced occasion, particularly among women who want to celebrate their close-knit relationships with friends, free from the expectations of romantic love associated with Valentine’s Day.
At its core, Galentine’s Day is all about gratitude, appreciation, and solidarity. It’s a chance to celebrate the unique bonds that women share—whether it’s a lifelong best friend, a group of coworkers, or a newly formed circle. In a world that often emphasizes romantic relationships, Galentine’s Day provides a refreshing focus on the importance of platonic connections and the value of female empowerment and support.
Celebrating Galentine’s Day can take many forms, and the best part is that there’s no one “right” way to do it. Some people host brunches, as Leslie Knope famously did, complete with waffles and mimosas, while others might gather for a cozy night in with movies, games, or a DIY craft night. It’s a chance to make personalized gifts, write heartfelt cards, or simply spend quality time together, reveling in the joy of being surrounded by supportive, like-minded women.
For some, Galentine’s Day is also an opportunity to reflect on how far women have come in terms of friendship and community. It’s a reminder of the power of women uplifting one another, breaking down societal barriers, and creating spaces where they can thrive individually and together.
Galentine’s Gift Guide
Above all, Galentine’s Day is about creating lasting memories and nurturing the relationships that bring joy, comfort, and strength to our lives. Whether through laughter, heartfelt conversations, or shared adventures, it’s a day to honor the love we share with our closest friends—because friendship is, after all, one of the most fulfilling forms of love. And in my humble opinion, Galentine’s Day is more fun when gifts are given to the women who impact your life so greatly!
Buoy Electrolytes Starter Pack
I sing the praises of Buoy electrolytes all the time (you can check out my most recent post about them here) and I’m overjoyed to include their starter pack as part of this gift guide and giveaway. I use their products every single day, first in the morning and then typically again in the afternoon for an energy boost. They are flavorless electrolytes, making them different than others on the market.

Grace & Stella Cleansing Balm and Eye Masks
This is not the first time you have heard me talk about Grace & Stella products either as they were featured in my massive roundup of Prime Day deals. I use their cleansing balm and eye masks on a weekly basis and there is nothing else on the market that compares to these two products. Believe me, I’ve tried others. The cleansing balm melts all makeup from the day away in seconds – even my waterproof liquid eyeliner! And the eye masks work wonders on my dark circles. Magic!

Joyfolie
Blake and I have shared our favorite pieces from Joyfolie over and over again on Instagram, and I’m excited to highlight this beautiful Agnes Top today, which has become a wardrobe staple for me. I love how it features the season’s hottest hue (chocolate brown) and is sheer, also popular right now. It is also sustainably made and perfect for layering during the winter months and then transitioning into spring.

Ryze
I drink Ryze every single morning and have been since May. It’s another one of those non-negotiables for me as I start my day. The mushrooms and adaptogens give me all the feel-good vibes! It also gives an extra energy boost in the morning that is different than what I get from coffee, it’s a longer-lasting boost without the crash. Whenever they released their hot chocolate version for the evening, with has a calming effect and helps you get better sleep, I added that to my monthly order, too. Both my husband and I drink Ryze religiously!

ActivatedYou
Are you surprised that I have another health and wellness product here? Probably not as they are my go-tos these days, even before clothes. I have been taking ActivatedYou morning complete since August and it has replaced my daily probiotic pill and significantly helped me with weight loss. It’s incredible and I tell every woman who tells me they are having a challenging time losing weight to immediately add this to their morning routine. I drink ActivedYou even before coffee.

Curél Deep Moisture Spray
With winter here in full swing, I know that I will take all the added moisture that I can get on my skin. I love how the Curel Deep Moisture Spray applies so easily – no need to wait and rub in, as it quickly absorbs into your skin. I love spraying as soon as I get out of the shower and before bed. In the summer months, you can keep it in your refrigerator for a very refreshing spritz!

Pharmaceris’s Vitamin K Night Dermo-Cream
What can I say? Night cream is always on my mind these days to help prevent wrinkles as I get older. The vitamin K in this product is specifically formulated for hyper-sensitive skin, and super hydrating especially during these very chilly months.

Chris Appleton X Color Wow Money Masque
Since I went blonde with my hair, it’s been really damaged. I did expect this, so I made sure that I started using this Money Masque immediately to help nourish, moisturize, and help to prevent breakage in my hair. Blake even started using a weekly hair mask as well since she saw the results I was having. I definitely recommend working this into your routine on a weekly basis, the results are magical!
