Galentine's Day lets you turn that into something she can hold onto. Pick one thing from this list that matches how you two actually are. Maybe it's matching cozy stuff you'll both use on lazy Sundays. Or something custom that captures an inside joke only the two of you get.
These 40 Galentine's Day gift ideas mix budget-friendly finds, shared experiences, thoughtful DIY touches, and quick custom options. Scroll until something clicks with your friendship. Then grab it, wrap it simply, and watch her face light up. That moment is worth way more than any big gesture.
What is Galentine's Day
Galentine's Day is your day. It's February 13 — the perfect excuse to celebrate your best friends instead of waiting for romance to show up.
The whole idea started on Parks and Recreation. In 2010, Leslie Knope threw the first fictional Galentine's party to honor her lady friends with waffles, crafts, and pure appreciation. Fans loved it so much that it jumped from TV into real life.
Now it's everywhere. In 2025, nearly 58 million people in the United States planned to celebrate it. That number keeps growing because who doesn't want a day dedicated to friendship?
So what actually happens?
- Meet for brunch or mimosas
- Exchange small, thoughtful gifts
- Do a movie night in cozy pajamas
- Send goofy friendship memes all day
It's not about fancy plans. It's about telling your best friend she matters — on a day made just for that. You deserve the same reminder.
40 Galentine's Day Gift Ideas for Your Best Friend
1. DIY Friendship Kit
Create a personalized "DIY Friendship Kit" for your best friend – it's heartwarming and full of thoughtful touches, and she'll feel the love the moment she opens it!
The box can include these little surprises: a bunch of colorful beads + string + small charms (to DIY matching bracelets or necklaces – wear them and they'll be your "bestie exclusive" accessories!)
2. Scented Candles
Candles instantly fill a room with warmth and cheer. A thoughtful candle adds a sense of indulgence and fits almost any daily routine. Ideal for gals who enjoy calm evenings or cozy rituals, it's a gift that feels intentional and fun without breaking the bank.

3. Personalized Tote Bag
A personalized tote bag brings fun into daily routines. Add her initial or a short message that sparks joy and connection every time she grabs it for work, errands, or the gym. It quietly says, "I see you," while you celebrate friendship in small, practical moments.

4. Face Mask Set
A set of sheet masks gives her quick self-care moments. Choose hydrating or calming ones she can use after a long day or on a quiet night in. Masks help her skin feel fresh and encourage her to slow down. Most packs have enough for several uses so she can make it a regular part of her routine.
5. Fun Socks
Fuzzy or patterned socks add a little joy to her day. Pick ones with hearts, bold colors, or soft material she can wear around the house or with boots. Socks are small, easy to gift, and useful. A cute pair makes ordinary moments feel warmer and more fun.

6. Small Diffuser + Oil Trio
Compact ultrasonic diffuser that doesn't take up half the nightstand, plus three oils: lavender for crashing out, citrus for focus, eucalyptus when she's congested from subway air.
It runs quiet, changes colors softly, and actually makes the apartment smell intentional. She'll run it during wind-down or when the place still reeks of last night's takeout.
7. Friendship Bracelet Kit
A kit with beads, string, and simple instructions makes it easy for her to make bracelets, even if she doesn't know how. She can make them for herself, or you both can wear matching ones.
It is a fun thing that both of you can do together or she can do alone. With these bracelets, your friendship will always be close.
8. Box of Chocolates or Treats
A small box of her favorite chocolates or treats gives her something sweet to enjoy slowly. Choose flavors she likes—dark, milk, or mixed. Such treats are simple and make her feel appreciated on Galentine's Day without it being too much.
9. Ice Roller or Facial Tool
An ice roller for the face or other cool tool reduces puffiness and feels refreshing on skin. In the morning or after a tired day, she can use it. It fits easily into her skincare routine and a minute or two will do. This gift helps her look a little better and feel a little better.
10. Reusable Water Bottle
With a custom color and design making it hers, a water bottle that she can use all the time. She takes it to work, to the gym, on walks. So pick one that keeps hot liquids hot or cold. It's also a gift that fits her new, lazy lifestyle and future work routin.

11. Custom Photo Book
Convert the photos you possess now—jumpy, smeary cell-phone selfies, that smash-up of a trip where everything went wrong except the laughing—into a slim printed book. She'll keep it on the coffee table or nightstand and flip through it once in a while.
12. Wireless Earbuds
If her current pair crackles or dies halfway through a playlist, upgrade her to solid wireless earbuds with at least 6–8 hours of battery.
Go for something mid-range that has good noise blocking for her commute or gym sessions. She'll use them daily and every time the music hits she'll think, "Jean was right about these." Skip the super-cheap ones; they break fast.
13. Mini Waffle Maker
Get the small round one that fits on any counter and makes one perfect waffle at a time. She can do breakfast on lazy Sundays or throw on peanut butter and banana at 11 p.m. when she's scrolling.
Pair it with a bag of mix she already likes. It's one of those gifts that gets used way more than anyone expects.
14. Scented Hand Cream Set
Pick a set of three or four travel-size creams—something with shea butter, one citrus, one neutral. She'll keep one in her bag, one at her desk, one by the sink.
It's small but she'll notice the difference every time she rubs them in after washing. Practical luxury that actually lasts.
15. Cozy Throw Blanket
Find a soft, not-too-heavy throw blanket that matches the couch or bed. Try to pick one that is machine washable—accidents happen.
She'll drag it to the living room for movie nights or snuggle up with it while checking emails. Before long, it will be hers.

16. Reusable Makeup Remover Pads
Upgrade her from cotton rounds to a pack of softer, reusable microfiber pads that come with a mesh laundry bag. They clean her face better while leaving no fluff. An easy win from her daily routine.
17. Inspirational Wall Art Print
Choose something understated—a clean typography quote or abstract line drawing she'd actually hang. Avoid anything too motivational-speak; go for quiet and pretty.
Roll it or pop it in a cheap frame. She can put it where she sees it first thing in the morning. It's a small daily nudge without being cheesy.
18. Herbal Tea Sampler
Get a variety pack with no caffeine—chamomile, peppermint, rooibos, maybe a sleepy blend with valerian. If she's into hot drinks at night this is gold.
Throw in a simple ceramic mug she can leave on her desk. She'll try a new one each week and text you which she likes best.
19. Portable Phone Charger
A slim 10,000mAh one that charges fast and doesn't weigh down her bag. Pick a color she uses a lot so she doesn't lose it.
When her phone dies at brunch or during a long walk she'll plug in and remember you thought ahead. It's the gift that saves the day quietly.
20. Bath Bomb Gift Set
Three or four good ones—lavender, eucalyptus, maybe a rose or citrus. Look for brands that don't stain the tub and aren't loaded with glitter that sticks everywhere.
She can save them for nights when she needs to reset. Drop one in, light a candle, and the whole bathroom feels like a treat.
21. Matching Pajamas
Matching ones are cute for the group photo you'll inevitably take, but even just her size feels like you really noticed her style.
She'll live in them on those snowy February Sundays when leaving the apartment sounds impossible, and every time she pulls them on it'll feel like the friendship leveled up a little.

22. Everyday Jewelry
Choose a simple, thin necklace or bracelet that has one single element that is meaningful to her.
She will put it on as habit every morning, not really registering it until months go by and she realizes that it is the one thing she never takes off, not even when she showers.
It is the most subtle way to show her that you've been paying attention to the details for years.

23. Indoor Slippers
Get slippers with actual memory foam cushioning and a grippy sole that won't let her slip on hardwood or tile. Skip the flat fuzzy pairs—go for shearling-lined or plush ones with decent arch support.
Pick a color that disappears against her floors so she doesn't feel ridiculous wearing them. The second she closes the door after a brutal commute she'll slide them on, and her feet will thank you every single time the cold seeps through.
24. Book & Bedtime Light
Pair a paperback she mentioned wanting (or one you know she'd stay up for) with a slim clip-on LED reading light that dims to warm and charges over USB-C. It clips straight to the book spine or her phone case, stays cool to the touch, and keeps the rest of the apartment dark.
On nights her brain won't quit she'll read past midnight without guilt, and it'll feel like you quietly gave her a little more space to breathe.
25. Nail Polish Edit
Curate 4–5 bottles that match her actual vibe: a few sheer nudes or soft mauves she wears to work, one deeper burgundy or emerald for when she wants to feel put-together, plus a solid base coat and fast-dry topper.
Toss in a glass nail file if her current one is shot. She'll paint during true-crime binges or before drinks and send you the obligatory "finished mani" pic every single time.
26. Phone Grip/Case Upgrade
A matte or grippy phone case she can actually hold without dropping (bonus if it has a built-in stand or pop socket). Pick a design that's her—maybe pressed flowers, a muted abstract, or just clear so her phone color shows through.
If her current case is cracked or bulky, this is the upgrade she didn't know she needed. She'll use it every hour of the day and smile when she remembers you swapped it in.

27. Apartment Plant
One tough, low-drama plant—a snake plant, ZZ, or pothos—in a simple ceramic pot that fits her shelf or windowsill. These survive New York light (or lack of it) and weeks of forgetting to water. It adds green without turning into a guilt trip.
She'll glance at it during Zooms or while making coffee and think of you keeping her space alive in a small way.
28. Thermal Travel Mug
Pick a sleek, leak-proof tumbler that actually holds coffee hot for four solid hours—no more reheating halfway through the morning.
She'll fill it before heading to the subway, keep it going at her desk, and carry it home for evening wind-downs. It quietly solves that exact winter complaint she vents about every year.

29. The Mini Recharge Basket
Put together a shoebox-sized basket for her to grab when she's fried: a tube of fast-absorbing hand cream, a lip sleeping mask, a couple of single-use bath salts, and a silk eye mask.
Tuck it on her bathroom counter—after draining days or during a Sunday reset, she'll reach for it and feel truly seen.
30. Electric Mug Warmer
A slim disc warmer that plugs in under her mug and holds coffee or tea at drinking temp for hours. She sets her drink down, gets distracted by work or a call, and it still tastes fresh when she remembers it.
It's cheap, small, and solves the universal "my coffee got cold again" problem. She'll use it daily during WFH and text you "this was genius" after week one.
31. Heated Throw Blanket
Get the kind that's thin enough to fold small but heats up fast with a few settings. Pick fleece on one side, sherpa on the other so she can choose.
She'll throw it over her legs while doom-scrolling or wrap it around her shoulders during late-night work. Drafty walk-ups make this a daily essential—she'll fight you for the good spot on the couch when you visit.
32. Noise-Canceling Headphones
Mid-range over-ears that block out the neighbor's bass or the guy yelling on the subway platform. Look for ones with solid battery life and a comfy fit for long wears.
If she's always saying the city noise is killing her focus, these change the game. She'll put them on for deep work, podcasts, or just to pretend the world doesn't exist for an hour.
33. Temperature-Control Electric Kettle
One that lets her dial in the exact degree for matcha, green tea, or pour-over coffee. It sits on the counter looking clean, not like a science lab.
If she nerds out over her morning brew or evening wind-down tea, this makes every cup noticeably better. She'll text you the first time she hits the perfect temp without guessing.
34. Weighted Silk Eye Mask
A soft silk one with gentle weight and maybe a hint of lavender. It blocks every sliver of street light and the pressure helps quiet racing thoughts.
She'll keep it bedside and grab it when she can't shut down after a long day. Packs flat for travel, lasts forever, and feels way more luxurious than it costs.

35. Mini Portable Projector
Pocket-sized projector that hooks to her phone or laptop and throws a decent picture on any blank wall. Battery runs a couple movies without plugging in.
She can turn movie nights into something bigger than her laptop screen or project shows onto the ceiling when she's horizontal. If she loves cozy setups, this upgrades her apartment without needing a TV.
36. Custom Spotify Playlist Card
Build a playlist of tracks that scream your friendship—old college anthems, songs from that road trip disaster, stuff you both still quote. Print a simple card with the QR code and a short handwritten note.
She scans it once and it's hers to keep. She'll play it on walks home, in the shower, or when she needs to feel less alone in the city.
37. Refillable Leather Journal
Slim leather cover with replaceable inserts so she never has to start over when pages run out. Choose a color that ages well—dark brown, black, or soft cognac.
If she scribbles thoughts, vents, or lists, this feels like an upgrade from spiral notebooks. She'll carry it everywhere and fill it slowly over the next year.
38. Journal or Planner
Notebooks are a gentle Galentine's Day gift idea for friends who like to write, plan, or reflect. Choose cute designs that invite her to fill pages naturally. Or better yet – design your own and take all the credit when she asks where you found it.

39. Grippy Foldable Yoga Mat
Thin mat that rolls tight with a strap, in a muted color she won't mind leaving out. Good grip so she doesn't slide during downward dog on hardwood.
If she does quick 15-minute videos or just lies on the floor to breathe, this removes the friction of starting. She'll unroll it more often than she admits.
40. Star Map Print of Your Date
Custom print of the exact sky on the night you met, her birthday, or that trip you still talk about. Input the city and date—sites spit out a clean star chart. Frame it simple or roll it for easy gifting.
She'll hang it where she sees it daily and tell the story to anyone who asks. It's the gift that turns a memory into something she can touch.
Creative Ways to Celebrate Galentine's Day with Friends
You don't need a big plan. Just do something that feels like your group.
Grab your girls and take a little class together — pottery, bead-wrapping, candle-making, whatever looks fun. Sharing the mess and laughing over wonky results is the whole point.
Make matching things for something you already love doing. Annual trip coming up? Get everyone the same cute pink weekender bag. Book club crew? Gift the same cozy read so you can talk about it over wine later.
Build her a tiny basket from TJ Maxx finds: fluffy socks, a face mask, shower steamers, her favorite candy, and a mini bottle of rosé if she drinks. Total cost stays under twenty-five bucks and still feels special.
Pay for the date instead of a thing. Cover the movie tickets, the fancy coffee, or the ice cream run. Time together always beats stuff.
Or just show up with flowers and say, "These are for you because you're my favorite." Simple. Done. She'll remember it forever.
