Share the Love with These 11 Valentine’s Day and Galentine’s Day Gift Ideas – All from Women-Owned Brands
Love is in the air – can you feel it?
Galentine’s Day (February 13th) and Valentine’s Day (February 14th) are just around the corner, and if you’re anything like us, you can’t wait to grab your favorite pink gel pen, put your Boyz II Men CD on repeat, break out that pack of cartoon Valentines, write sweet little notes to your whole class, and consume ¾ of your body weight in heart-shaped cookies and candies.
Wait, wait. Oops. That was fourth grade. Valentine’s Day was so simple back then, wasn’t it?
But now that you’re an adult, you want your partner, bestie, friend group, siblings, coworkers, and parents to know just how much you love them – and a teeny-tiny cartoon punch-out card doesn’t feel like quite enough to convey the message.
Since when did finding a great Valentine’s Day gift – especially one that’s cute, fun, meaningful, and useful – get so difficult?
We’re not sure, but we’re right there with you! That’s why we’ve gathered 11 fabulous Valentine’s Day and Galentine’s Day gift ideas to set everyone’s hearts aflutter – including curated gift boxes, handmade cards, and unique experiences – right here for you. The best part? They’re all from women-owned small businesses!
Gift Boxes for Your Galentine
Galentine Gift Box, $55
Let’s face it – fresh waffle sundaes just don’t ship well. So, how the heck else are you supposed to remind your bestie – the beautiful, talented, brilliant, powerful musk ox; the rule-breaking moth; the most poetic, noble land-mermaid; the Ann Perkins to your Leslie Knope – just how much you love and appreciate her?
You could start with the Galentine Gift Box from Salty Box Co. It’s got a Uteruses Before Duderuses mug (does it GET any more perfect?), buttery vanilla shortbread cookies, a pink daisy pillar candle, and pink champagne bath salts.
Black Heart Gift Box, $60
Ok, so, what if your ride-or-die hates Valentine’s Day? Like, if there were an executive order that ended Valentine’s Day forever, she’d celebrate by running through the streets with confetti cannons. What then!?
Well, we think she probably won’t hate being reminded just how much you treasure her friendship with a box filled with humorously sinister goodies that might just warm her heart a degree or two!
The Black Heart Gift Box (also from Salty Box Co!) includes a Wednesday Addams “I AM Smiling” mug, a Black Heart candle, a pair of f*ck off socks, and a not-too-mushy card.
