Valentine's Day is great and all, as far as Hallmark holidays go. But what's even better is the super-fun and hopefully tear-free holiday coined by Leslie Knope of Parks and Recreation: Galentine's Day.
Galentine's Day falls on February 13 and has become known in recent years as the national day to celebrate female friendship. It's really a lovely idea, because if romantic relationships deserve a day, well, heck, so do platonic ones.
Female friendships can be so important, too, and that's especially true after you become a parent. You really learn how valuable having a mom squad is. If you're thinking about celebrating the special day this year, here are a few awesome gift ideas for the squad.
1. An Amazing Set of Silk Pillowcases
Nothing says "I'm an amazing gal pal" like an amazing pair of silk pillowcases. Silk pillowcases aren't just way comfortable to sleep on, they're also great for your skin. These pillowcases from Nest Bedding actually nourish your skin while you sleep, and they stay cool to the touch.
2. Hair Products With the Hottest New Ingredient
Hair is one of our most beloved accessories, so it's important to treat it well. Dr. Barbara Sturm is known for her innovative and effective skin products, but she also makes a hair serum that works wonders. It contains hyaluronic acid, Japanese camellia extract, sunflower seed sprout extract, and more to help reduce irritation and breakage.
3. An Entire Self-Care Skin Gift Set Just for Moms
Moms know that self-care is important, but we don't always give gifts to ourselves that encourage it. That's why it's important to make sure our mom friends are catering to themselves once in a while. The Mama Care products from Pipette Baby are the perfect solution. The line offers all kinds of wellness and beauty products like eye cream, body wash, and nourishing body lotion. And right now, they're on sale for 15% off!
Snag the Self Care Spa Set for a total steal right now.
4. A Very Fancy Face Mask
The Dew You Love Me? face mask from Truly truly says, "Yes, I love you!" It has retinyl, which helps to reduce and prevent wrinkles, plus vitamin C, which promotes collagen production. Overall, using this mask on the regular will make skin look younger and healthier, making it the perfect gift for those you truly love.
5. A Gorgeous Charm Bracelet
This Galentine's Day, if you're looking to make your gal pal feel really special, give her a stunning charm bracelet from Karma and Luck. There are many beautiful bracelets to choose from, all of which have specific qualities. The Evil Eye Charm bracelet is said to help deflect negativity. It's made with lapis lazuli stones, which represent truth, awareness, and wisdom. It's marked down now from $99 to just $75.
6. A Cross-Body Wallet/Phone Case Perfect for Ladies Night
If you're looking for a gift that's both fun and practical, look no further. The Dancing Queen cross-body wallet and phone case from Smartish is just it. Not only is it super cute, it holds everything you need without lugging a big old mom bag around. No one wants that on ladies night!
7. A Gift That Benefits the Human Rights Campaign
The Human Rights Campaign has a line of Valentine's items that truly let the world know "Love Conquers Hate." Giving these items as gifts to your favorite gal pals is the perfect way to donate to the campaign. Not only can you support a great cause, you'll be showing love to your besties, as well as the LGBTQIA+ community, all at the same time. There are hats, sweatshirts, mugs, tees, rings, and more!
