30+ Chic Galentine’s Day Gifts for Your Gal Pals
Many moons ago, in the year 2010, Parks and Recreation character Leslie Knope—played by a wise-cracking Amy Poehler—introduced a new holiday to our calendars: Galentine’s Day. Landing on February 13 , Knope refers to it as “only the best day of the year,” as it’s a time to gather with your BFFs over food and drink and celebrate friendship rather than romantic ties. The festivities endure today, most often in the form of a cocktail party, sleepover, or mimosa-fueled brunch session.
Just like regular Valentine’s Day, Galentine’s is best commemorated by imparting a heartfelt gift to your friends, whether it be a traditional box of chocolates or a robe and pair of slippers. Here, we’ve got a definitive list of 33 gal-pal go-tos, from monogrammed mugs to multicolored matchboxes.

Dusen Dusen

Van Dusen's bold prints— the slippers are also available in a blue-and-green stripe and black-and-white polka dot—are fun, fresh, and feel like a fuzzy jacket on the feet. Bonus: Each comes with a matching tote bag so you can take the colorful look on-the-go.
