Galentine’s Day, hands down, is the ultimate celebration of friendship and girl power. No need to stress about relationship drama here! It’s a feel-good day dedicated to your best gal pals, doing whatever suits your mood.
There are different ways to spend this day! There are the classics like a girls’ night out, a spa day, or hosting a party at home. But if you’ve done that before, or simply looking for more unique ways to have fun with your friends, then check out these Galentine’s Day ideas:
Create Your Own Bouquet
Cue Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” in the background! Not only can you buy yourself flowers, you can arrange them too. Grab some flowers, set up water buckets for them, and gather different ribbons and wrapping paper.
No need to be a pro for this activity. Just have some fun and let your creativity shine. It’s not just a fun way to hang out with friends, but the flowers also make a great party favor!
Have a Galentine’s Costume Party
Who said costumes are only for Halloween? Host a pajama party, a rom-com-themed soirée, or even an anti-Valentine’s gathering then dress the part! Consider this your excuse to doll up with your friends (not that you need one).
Gather at a friend’s place, get all glammed up, and have fun dressing up together! And, of course, don’t miss out on capturing the laughter and memories with plenty of photos.
Galentine’s Photo Corner
Speaking of photos, here’s another idea! Try out a DIY Galentine’s photo booth. No need for a fancy camera. Just grab a tripod and your trusty phone.
Create a photo-ready scene by hanging balloons, faux flowers, fairy lights, or whatever matches your style. And don’t forget the props! Grab some sunglasses, hats, and goofy costumes, or print out witty sayings to attach to sticks for extra fun.
Romance Novel Readathon
Longing for a night of love and literature? How about a 24-hour romance novel readathon with your closest gals? Ideal for your bookish friends, it’s for those who enjoy a quiet night while getting lost in the world of fiction.
Make your space extra comfy with oversized pillows and soft blankets. You can also order your fave snacks like pizza or maybe some sushi. Then uncork a bottle of wine to complement the experience.
Box of Chocolates Exchange Gift
Sweeten up your Galentine’s Day with a chocolate exchange. Grab a box of your go-to chocolates and trade them with your pals. It’s a wonderful way to make sure all your friends have a stash of chocolates to enjoy on Valentine’s Day, even if they don’t have a romantic partner.
Take it further by hosting a chocolate-tasting party from the box of chocolates you’ve got! Rate your favorites and explore new flavors. Don’t forget to prepare some palette cleansers!
Set out a Dessert Crawl
Turn your Galentine’s Day into a sugar-filled adventure with a dessert crawl! It’s technically a food crawl but a whole lot sweeter. Explore local cafes and restaurants, sampling cakes, pastries, pies, cookies, and more.
If you’re feeling more adventurous, you may also expand your dessert horizons by tasting delicacies from various cuisines. Experience the exotic sweetness of Kulfi from an Indian restaurant near you or cool down with a Halo-Halo from a Filipino eatery. So many exciting options out there!
Self-Care Products Swap
Share the love of self-care by hosting a self-care product swap! Bring along your tried-and-true skincare gems, signature candle scents, preferred wine selections, and more to exchange with your friends. Then discuss why these products hold a special place in your routine and how they contribute to your overall well-being.
This is an awesome way to not only discover new products that could become your next self-care staple but also to bond with friends over shared wellness rituals. Each item is a personal recommendation and a reminder of why self-love is so important.
