AD – Sponsored and PR Product | Galentine’s Day is on February 13th, and it became popular after Leslie Knope in the tv-series Parks and Recreation celebrated Galentine’s Day with her girlfriends, coworkers, and her mom. In each Galentine’s Day episode, they celebrated by having brunch at a restaurant where Leslie gave everyone gifts. Galentine’s Day is all about celebrating the ladies in your life, and I want to share 5 ways you can celebrate Galentine’s Day with your friends.
#1 Give a Special Gift
Gift-giving is a large part of Galentine’s Day and in Parks and Recreation, Leslie went over the top. In season 2, she gifted crocheted flower pens, mosaic portraits, and a 5,000-word essay on why each of her friends is awesome. In season 4, she gave gift certificates for facials and a needlepoint pillow with their face on it. You do not have to go over the top like Leslie, and a lovely option is to gift your friend a piece of jewelry. I received 3 jewelry pieces from Daisy London Jewellery, and they would all make wonderful gifts.
English Daisy Ring
The English Daisy Ring is a classic sterling silver ring that features a daisy. The ring is the perfect everyday floral piece, and it can be worn alone or stacked with other rings. Along with silver, the daisy ring is also available in gold. The ring would be perfect for your friends who love classic, simple pieces.
Rose Quartz Healing Stone Bobble Bracelet
The Rose Quartz Bracelet is a beautiful friendship bracelet that is made with 18 carat gold plated sterling silver and includes a rose quartz stone. The rose quartz has a soft feminine energy of compassion and tenderness, which makes it perfect for your girlfriends. Also, all the gemstones are cut from natural stones, so each bracelet will be unique. You can mix and match the bracelet with other pieces, and it is also available in silver.
Isla Mother of Pearl Necklace
Lastly, the Isla Mother Of Pearl Necklace is made with sterling silver and includes a unique slice of mother of pearl. The necklace includes a twisted chain that makes it perfect to wear with other seashell necklaces or alone as a statement piece. The necklace is also available in gold, and it would be perfect for your friends that love making an entrance with statement pieces. Along with rings, bracelets, and necklaces, Daisy London also sells beautiful earrings and they ship worldwide.
#2 Go Out With Your Friends
In every Galentine’s Day episode of Parks and Recreation, Leslie and her friends ate brunch at a restaurant or a café. You can also go out to eat with friends or you can even have a Galentine’s Day picnic. You could also go to a wine tasting or a cocktail bar, you could see a movie or a show, or you could even go shopping with your friends. The possibilities are endless, and you can plan a special day out that your friends would enjoy.
#3 Attend a Galentine’s Day Event
If you are going out with your friends, you can look for Galentine’s Day events that are happening in your area. Some restaurants may have a special brunch for Galentine’s Day, and other places may have parties with live music, drinks, and games. Also, stores may have special discounts and giveaways. The events that are happening will depend on where you live, and you can search for events on Facebook or on Eventbrite.
#4 Have a Night In
You and your friends may not want to go out for Galentine’s Day, and you can always have a night in. You can watch a movie or even the Galentine’s Day episodes of Parks and Recreation. Also, you can have a karaoke or game night, cook or bake a Valentine’s Day dessert together, make DIY crafts, or just have a relaxing spa night. Whatever you decide to do, you are sure to have a good time with your friends.
#5 Host a Virtual Galentine’s Day
Spending time with your friends in person may not be an option, but you can always plan a special day or night on Zoom. You can watch a movie or series together using Teleparty, play online games like GeoGuessr, do a Q&A, or you can attend an online class together with your friends. You can also mail each other gifts that you open during the call. Even if you cannot physically spend Galentine’s Day with your friends, you can still make the day special.
I love the daisy ring! Might be a bit late for a Galentines Day present, but I am sure the girls would love it too!
Me too! Even though Galentine’s Day has passed, the jewelry would still make lovely birthday or just because presents!
Wow, I’m so in love with the jewelry! The Daisy ring reminds me of spring, it’s so simple yet elegant. The rose quartz necklace is stunning, I also love the pearl style. I missed it for Valentine’s Day but they also make for great birthday and ‘just because’ gifts too!
I love all the jewelry pieces too! Yes! Even though Valentine’s Day has passed, they would make lovely birthday or just because gifts
Classy ideas!
Love and Wellness
Thanks!
I absolutely love both of those necklaces, I’m a real fan of slender chains with delicate pendants on the end. I’m also asking myself why I’ve never celebrated Galantine’s Day now – so many good reasons to treat my friends!
I love the jewelry pieces too!
Yes Galentine’s Day is a great way to show your friends you care about them & appreciate them!
What a special way to celebrate friendship! I love those pieces of jewelry! Thanks for sharing.
It is nice to celebrate frienship!
I love the jewelry pieces too!

Love these ideas so much! My Galentines day plans were cancelled due to covid but I’ll be definitely having a virtual chat with my gals once I’m recovered! Thank you so much for sharing xx Penny / whatdidshetype.com
Thank you! Aww I’m sorry you had to cancel your Galentine’s Day plans, but I hope you’ll get better soon so you can have a virtual get together with your friends.
I’d forgotten about Galentine’s Day from Parks and Recreation. It’s been forever since I last watched it. Interesting gifts ideas though. I hope Galentine’s Day becomes more popular than Valentine’s Day
I rewatched the episodes in preparation of writing this post haha
Thank you! It would be lovely if Galentine’s Day was more popular!
I love this list. I think I would get a jewelry for Valentine. It can be so hard to figure out the perfect gift for valenines. Thanks for this
Thank you! Jewelry is always a great gift for Valentine’s Day!
I absolutely love Daisy Jewellery, I have a gold ring from them and I never stop wearing it! These are great ways to celebrate Galentines Day! x

Yes I agree!!!
I love all these ideas — it’s such a nice idea to celebrate Galentine’s as see it really get more popular. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much & I agree!
Host a virtual Galentines will be a good idea for my girls and I. We miss going out together. But the omicron situation now just doesn’t allow us. Thank you for sharing these ideas.
You’re welcome & I hope you were able to have a virtual get together. Here in Denmark they completely removed all restrictions, but I know in many other countries that’s not the case.
As a jewellery lover, I’m all for the gifting of jewellery. It says so much and for a long time.
I completely agree!
These are fun ideas. I don’t have any plans but maybe I’ll plan something.
Thanks! I hope you had a nice Galentine’s Day if you did something!
This is a great list, I’m going to a Galentines this weekend and need to bring a gift for a group game and I was drawing a blank! (Not even joking, haha).
Thank you! Ooo I hope had a nice Galentine’s Day & you found a great gift!
