With commercials and advertisements full of couples making dinner plans, buying each other sentimental gifts, and simply spending quality time, it is easy to feel down about Valentine’s Day. A day geared around love should not be limited to romantic love and should celebrate platonic love as well, and the day before Valentine’s Day is designated for just that.

Galentine’s Day is an unofficial holiday designed for people who identify as women to celebrate their friendships. Single women are encouraged to give thoughtful gifts and spend quality time with their friends. This day takes place on February 13th but can also be a celebration on Valentine’s Day.

This unofficial holiday was created by a fictional character from Park and Recreation in 2010. In the episode’s ode to Galentine’s Day, one of the main characters gathers her girlfriends to have a breakfast-style celebration to highlight each other. From then on, people emulated the gathering and started the tradition.

Though Galentine’s Day does not need to be a breakfast gathering, there are plenty of ways to celebrate your love for your friends.

Host a Rainbow Picnic

This TikTok trend has gone viral as friend groups everywhere have been partaking. A rainbow picnic is a gathering where each person is assigned a rainbow color and must bring an item of that color. For instance, if given yellow, you would get yellow items or a package with yellow. Though this trend is Instagram-worthy, it is also fun to plan and coordinate. To add more fun, each person can dress in the color they are assigned and bring activities.

Exchange gifts: Secret Cupid

A great way to show that you care about someone is simply buying them a gift representing them. It can be expensive to buy a gift for each person. Therefore, an easy idea could be doing a secret cupid. Write down names in a jar, and each friend can take turns choosing before the exchange date. The gift does not have to be expensive and could be handmade. Some sentimental ideas include:

A jar of joy: buy an empty mason jar and decorate the outside personalizing it to the person. Then fill it with pieces of paper, each with positive affirmations.

Girls Night In

Miley Cyrus’ 2007 hit Girl’s Night Out encouraged girls everywhere to have a night out in the town with their girlfriends. However, nothing is better for rejuvenation than a relaxing and fun night in. Each friend can dress up in their favorite pajama sets to participate in a night dedicated to each other. Snacks, food, a good movie, and games will bring everyone closer together. Take this time to catch up with one another, relive some memories, and make some new ones.
