Galentine's Day happens every year on February 13, and it's one of the best day to celebrate all of your closest gal pals.

Just as one would celebrate Valentine's Day with their partner, Galentine's Day is a dedicated event that focuses on the importance of female friendships. "Every February 13, my ladyfriends and I leave our husbands and our boyfriends at home, and we just come and kick it, breakfast-style. Ladies celebrating ladies. It’s like Lilith Fair, minus the angst. Plus frittatas," as Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler's character from Parks and Recreation), who created the event, said.

While there are many ways to celebrate the day - plan a low-key movie marathon or throw a Galentine's Day bash - exchanging gifts with your friends is usually involved. To help you find the perfect Galentine's Day gift, we've scoured the internet to find the best ideas.

Below, you'll find great gifts for your BFF (a.k.a. your real soulmate), inexpensive party favors that can be bought in bulk and plenty of top-rated ideas for women we've been loving this year. Note that some of these are customized (which often make the best presents), so you should allow for extra time for personalization and shipping.
