#ShareTheLove This Galentine’s Day

Right before Valentine’s Day, there is what’s become a cult-favorite holiday that falls on February 13^th. Rather than celebrate romantic relationships, this day celebrates the foundations of friendships with the remarkable women around you – also known as: your gal pals.  This day has been appropriately titled Galentine’s Day, and has been gaining traction year after year since its inception from the NBC hit, Parks & Rec.

So how do you celebrate? Looking for ideas on things to do with your girlfriends? We have the following in mind for some Galentine’s & Valentine’s Day inspiration!

Throw a Party

Source

• Decorate Your Space – Small pink and red party favors, accent details, champagne flutes, and a few balloons; it doesn’t take much to set the scene! Splurging on $15-$20 of decorations can take your house soiree to a next level, making it official. Holiday decor also provides for great photo opps for when your girlfriends make it over.
• Host a Dessert Night – Interested in finally trying those recipes you see on Pinterest, or in a Tasty video on Facebook? Now is the perfect opportunity to get to cracking! Round up your girlfriends and host a Dessert Night In, having everyone bring a dessert they worked on, or work on them together in your own kitchen. We have some Recipe ideas on our “Sea & Hostess” Pinterest board to get your ideas flowing.
• Have a Gift Exchange – With the accessibility to niche boutiques and shops online, it’s so easy to find small & cute gifts for friends that are right up their alley. Have a girlfriend that loves ornate jewelry? Find her a piece from an Etsy shop. Your tech-savvy best friend? Place an order on Amazon for a small new tech toy. With convenient online shopping, the possibilities are endless!

Have a Night Out

• Movie Night Downtown – Is there a quaint theater by you? Between new releases and theaters showing blockbuster classics, you’re sure to find a romcom somewhere nearby, or at least a theater playing one around this time of year. Invite a few of your closest ladies out and make a night of it.
• Girls’ Night Dinner – You can never go wrong with an old fashioned night out on the town. Find a restaurant that suits you and your friends’ taste and enjoy some quality girl time over a nice dinner. Extra points for ordering desserts.
