You are only as strong as your #GirlSquad that surrounds you, and they deserve a galentines gift!
That’s why it is so important that you make sure every single one of your lady friends knows just how much you love them. This year, focus on giving back and supporting those around you. You will be amazed just how far it will lift you up as well. With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, my friends and I wanted to show our favorite date night or Galentine’s Day outfits and to also show you the importance of friends!
10 Galentines Gift Ideas to Show Your Ladies you Love Them
Give her a book you love
One of my cutest friends sent me her favorite book in the mail with a note. We had been talking about the subject matter, so the gift was heartfelt, and now we can continue conversations about the book!
give the galentines gift of playlist
All right, mixed CDs are old school. But, you can share a Spotify playlist with each other. Put your favorite songs on there and listen to it together, or when a part!
Pay for her dinner
The simple act of picking up the check when you go out means A LOT.
Make her a treat as a galentines gift
You know her sweet tooth (or diet) better than even her boyfriend of husband. Make her a homemade dinner or treat that fits into her eating habits.
Take her kids for the night
Most couples don’t get enough date nights. If you let her significant other take her out while you watch the kiddos, it will mean more than a lot.
Celebrate the wins with her
One of my favorite things to do, and to receive, is when your friend accomplished something, share it with the world! Tell people in conversation, say it on social media, even tell her personally.
Celebrate birthdays
A text or call in the morning. Dinner on the weekend with friends. Maybe even a personalized present. Birthdays are always a big deal, so remember them.
Run errands with her
The mundane can only be made better with company. If she has a long to-do list, head out with her!
Write her a letter as a galentines gift
Don’t you write your spouse or partner love letters? They are so deeply personal and they go a long way. Friends deserve love letters too! If you’re not the letter type, just reach out via phone– here’s how to comfort someone over text.
Surprise her with a drink or flowers at work
Send her a Starbucks card, or bring her a drink straight to work, or have someone deliver flowers. You know she will feel spoiled!
