Cupid may have claimed Valentine’s Day for the couples and romantics of the world, but there’s one day that’s specifically reserved for celebrating all your friendship: Galentine’s Day. Officially celebrated on February 13, this special day was first introduced by Leslie Knope in Parks and Recreation (played by Amy Poehler), and it’s all about showing love to your best gal pals. And what better way to do that than with some fun Galentine’s Day gifts for friends?

If you’re scrambling to find something in time for February 13, don’t worry: There are tons of great gift ideas for Galentine’s Day that all your friends will love, and we’ve rounded up the best ones right here (thankfully, it’s a bit easier than figuring out the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for your husband or partner!).

Our list has something for just about everyone. If she likes to stay active, for example, she’ll definitely appreciate a fitness gift like a pair of comfy workout leggings. Or if she’s more of the homebody type, there are plenty of cozy gifts to choose from (think soft blankets, robes, and slippers). And you can’t go wrong with a nice beauty gift, like a new make-up product she’s been dying to try out or something to upgrade her skincare routine.

Want to gift something more sentimental? We also have you covered with sweet, customized gifts that celebrate your friendship, no matter how long you’ve been pals. And there are options for every budget, including gifts under $50 and gifts under $10.
