Don’t send flowers - Galentine’s Day Inspiration

1. Host a night of self-care 

Gather the girls and spend the evening relaxing and unwinding together. We could all do with an excuse to spend more time with our friends, sisters, mums — those all-important female relationships. So use it as an opportunity to wear your favourite pjs, and indulge in some old-school girls’ night in antics. Order a takeaway, watch a classic rom-com, and get those face masks out! 

Why not treat each other to one of our Bae Night In boxes? 

2. Shake it off 

There’s nothing quite like a good ole dance with friends. And the kitchen makes the best dance floor. So pop on our Galentine’s Day playlist, dance like no one is watching and Shake. It. Off! Or why not create your own personalised playlist and send it to your friends? Let them know you’re thinking of them! 

3. Let it go list 

Whether you’re sharing the evening with friends or relaxing in your own company, write a let-it-go list and do just that. Light some candles, crack open a box of chocolates and write down anything from bad breakups to anything that’s taking your precious energy; get it all down and then tear it up or, even better, burn it. 

4. Walk + talk 

Nothing beats a good ole natter with friends, and walking and talking is a great way to ease stress, reduce anxiety and boost your mood. So wrap up warm and grab a flask of hot chocolate or tea for the journey and enjoy some walking and talking therapy with friends!

5. Send love notes 

A personalised love note is a super cute way to let your person know you’re thinking of them. So send some love, complete with a picture of you and your bestie together. A great addition to any fridge or pinboard! 

6. Bake treats 

Get your bake on, whip up a batch of brownies, cupcakes, or cookies, and drop them to your besties as a little sweet treat or pick-me-up. 

7. Bring-a-board night 

Want to have a dinner party without the hassle? Invite your friends over and ask everyone to bring a board. Some savoury, some sweet, add wine, and you have the perfect mix for a relaxing evening of chat and indulgence with your girls. 

8. Book + film club 

How about a book and film night? Simply pick a book that’s been made into a film and get everyone to read the book. Then, when you’re all together, watch the film and chat about your thoughts. Be sure to stock up on plenty of popcorn!

Here’s a few suggestions: 

Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen 

Gone Girl - Gillian Flynn 

Where the Crawdads Sing - Delia Owens 

Bridget Jone’s Diary - Helen Fielding 

My Policeman - Bethan Roberts

9. Secret gift exchange 

Much like a secret Santa, why not arrange a secret gift exchange? Draw names, set a budget, and send each other a Galentine’s-Day-inspired gift. We have plenty of sweet, thoughtful, and personalised Treatboxes to choose from — or why not build your own?

Did you know each Treatbox item is hand-picked, wrapped and added with your own message? If you aren't one for words, here are some of our favourite Galentine’s-Day-inspired quotes that say it all:

• "No one achieves anything alone." — Leslie Knope
• "A true friend is someone who never gets tired of listening to your pointless dramas over and over again." – Lauren Conrad
• "Friendship is a wildly underrated medication." —Anna Deavere Smith
• "Maybe our girlfriends are our soulmates, and guys are just people to have fun with." — Sex and the City
• Here’s to strong women. May we know them. May we be them. And may we raise them.

Do you have a usual Galentine's Day gift or tradition? How will you be spending it this year? Let us know what you and your girls get up to, and spread the love!
