I’ll take any chance I can get to celebrate my friends. New job? Coffee’s on me. Rocking a hobby? I’ll happily collect all your ceramics. At my core, I’m a hype girl, through and through. My friends are my world, and they deserve all the praise and kindness I can give. Of course, I have a feeling I’m not the only one who enjoys showing her friends a little love. And finding a few thoughtfully-chosen Galentine’s Day gifts is the perfect opportunity. That unique, special, or beautiful gift? You’ll find it right here.

We put a lot of pressure on February 14th. For those of us in relationships, we’re designing the perfect date, and if you’re spending it solo, the holiday can feel like a personal affront to your life status. Valentine’s Day is complicated, to say the least. But it doesn’t have to be! Love is love, after all. Whether that comes in the form of romantic love, love for your family, pets, or friendships, it deserves a celebration.

The Best Galentine’s Day Gifts Your Friends Will Love

So whether you’re gathering pals for dinner or hanging one-on-one with your BFF, we’ve rounded up the best Galentine’s gifts that’ll help you shower your friends with love.

For the Homebody

FOMO? Never heard of her. We all have that friend (or perhaps it’s you!) who secretly delights in canceled plans, and is more than happy to stay cozy at home and in bed by ten. These gifts are perfect for romanticizing everyday routines. The homebody relishes these moments and is sure to love these thoughtful, unique gifts.

Casa Zuma Daybreak Candle – 14oz

Meet my favorite candle for bringing sunny California vibes indoors. With notes of citrus, jasmine, and salty air, it feels like the perfect escape—no matter the hour. And when it’s done, you’ll wish every corner of your home smelled this good.

Eden Monogram Stoneware Trinket Dish

Monogramming is a sweet, simple way to add a special touch to a thoughtful gift. With scalloped edges and a botanical print, this dish will quickly become her favorite nightstand accessory.

Solstice Mug

Everyone needs a favorite mug. And although my selection of coffee vessels is quickly crowding out my other dishes, I’m always happy (thrilled! ecstatic!) to add to my collection. This hand-thrown, stoneware mug is my current go-to. Trust me, it’ll quickly make its way into all of her Instagram stories.

Waffle Knit Robe

A waffle robe instantly gives lux spa vibes at home. Every homebody needs one! It’s perfect for your bestie who loves slow, leisurely mornings curled up with coffee and a book.

For the Wellness Girlie

She’s got a rock solid morning routine and a gym schedule she knows by heart. She’s never without her water bottle and she lovingly reminds you to stay hydrated too. If you have a galentine who is a self care queen, you’ll definitely want to check out the following gifts!

Butter Brush

Body and skincare tools are 2025’s biggest beauty obsession, and this exfoliating brush is a mainstay in my AM routine. Not only does it leave skin glowing and rejuvenated, but it also makes for a morning ritual your giftee will be excited to wake up to.

Mindful Affirmations: Love + Relationships Cards

For all my friends out there who love a daily affirmation, this deck is everything. The simple, thoughtful messages focused on love and relationships are like a gentle reminder to slow down and soak in the good vibes. If you’re into that serene, positive energy, you (and your galentines) need this in your life.

Wilde House Paper Open Journal

This journal is simple, thoughtful, and perfect for your bestie who’s into reflecting and journaling. It’s the kind of gift that feels like a little moment of calm—something they’ll actually use and appreciate.

Variety, Plz. Wellness Patches

I can’t stop talking about these patches. No matter your ailment—fatigue, soreness, or sleepless nights—these patches by Fleur Marché deliver. I like to apply the patch to my inner forearm and let the potent delivery system do its magic. They might just be my favorite wellness buy.

For the Beauty Lover

This is the friend whose skin is always glowing. Her make-up is flawless and she’s your go-to for lipgloss and foundation recs. She’s beautiful both inside and out! Gifts that help her enhance her beauty regime is a perfect way to honor your galentine and show her how much you love her.

LOOPS Variety Hydrogel Face Mask 5 Piece Set

Nothing beats settling in for the night with your coziest loungewear, a good show, and a restorative sheet mask that instantly revives your skin. These hydrogel masks give your winter skin some much-needed love with a healthy dose of nutrients. Each mask targets a different concern, so whatever your skin needs, I guarantee these masks will deliver.

Signature Blend Essential Oil Perfume

For those who love tiny things (everyone) or like to be able to take their perfume with them on the go, this is a solid Galentine’s gift. This is my personal purse perfume and I always get compliments when I wear it!

Aimee Claw Hair Clip Set

Whose hair doesn’t love a good claw clip? The Y2K style has been back for a bit, and while I’ve been a dedicated scrunchie-wearer, the trend has worked its way into many a ‘do. This trio of clips is just the thing when you can’t be bothered with a hair routine that’s longer than five seconds.

The Lip Balm | Multi-Ceramide

This chic balm is a rescue mission for chapped lips—hydrating, soothing, and with a refreshing minty cool. It’s the perfect little luxury to spoil your girls this Galentine’s.

For the Hostess

Did someone say party? I think we all wish we had a friend who hosts lavish dinner parties and brings everyone together. Or she’s probably the one who’s hosting your Galentine’s party and you don’t want to show up empty handed! These gifts will mean so much and add a personal touch to future gatherings, since they came from a friend. 

Casa Zuma Everything Board

You can never have enough serving boards, if you ask me. The Everything Board is a fantastic gift because it does, well…everything. Perfect for both chopping and charcuterie, your Galentine is sure to love it.

Fluted Taper Candles, Set of 4

A table lined with candles creates the most beautiful ambience. These fluted taper candles are unique and come in a variety of colors. Choose a set that matches your besties aesthetic!

Staub Mini Round Cocotte

Your hostess friend probably loves spending time in the kitchen. This gorgeous mini Stuab Cocotte is ideal for baking cobblers, pot pies or gratins for two.

Olivewood Cheese Knives

A beautiful tablescape is all in the details—down to the cheese knives! This set of three is made of olive wood, and are great for both soft and hard cheeses.

The It-Girl

I love having a friend who is on top of all the trends. She has effortless style and is ultimately a cool girl personified. She can be a challenge to shop for, since she’s a trendsetter by nature, but these unique gifts are sure to make your Galentine’s day.

Heaven Mayhem Mini Knot Earrings

It-girls everywhere are obsessed with Heaven Mayhem. I count myself among Hailey Bieber, Sydney Sweeney, Kendall Jenner and more who rock these chunky, statement earrings. I’m in love (especially with the mixed metal!), and your Galentine will be too.

Multi-Use Silk Headbands Set

If you haven’t heard, headbands are back in a big way. And as for how to style them, we’ve made progress since Blair Waldorf’s sartorial reign. These silk headbands are simple, quiet luxury at its finest. It’s the perfect finishing piece for any outfit—especially on wash day.

Ridged Metal Hair Tie

If you want to zhuzh up a ponytail, this cuff will do the trick. It’s like jewelry for your hair, and it’s an It-girl must have.

La Droguerie Odor Removing Candle

When everyone zigs, a trendsetter zags. So instead of a scented candle, an It-girl would totally love a Diptyque odor removing candle instead. Place this in your kitchen or bathroom to eliminate any unwanted odors and replace them with a summery blend of tomato leaf, basil and mint.
