Top 5 Ways to Celebrate Galentine’s Day

Galentine’s Day: Because Friendship Deserves Its Own Spotlight 💐

Galentine’s Day isn’t about skipping Valentine’s Day. It’s about celebrating the people who show up every single day. It’s not a consolation prize — it’s your sign to do something fun on purpose. The idea may have started with Leslie Knope of Parks & Recreation, who declared February 13 a day for “ladies celebrating ladies,” but it stuck because it felt true: friendship is worth celebrating on its own terms.

Not sure how to mark the occasion? Here are five easy, genuinely fun ways to do Galentine’s Day right. Think flowers, color, creativity, and togetherness without anything feeling complicated.

1. Start at the Flower Bar 🌸

Picking out your own flowers is wildly satisfying. You choose the colors, you choose the vibe, and you build something together that you leave with feeling personal. It’s creative, casual, and way more fun than scrolling. Go with friends, make it a thing — zero pressure, maximum payoff.

2. Take a Flower Class Together 🌿

This is Galentine’s Day gold. You learn something new, make a little mess, and leave with a gorgeous arrangement and a memory that lasts longer than brunch. It’s part activity, part hangout, part why don’t we do this more often?

3. Surprise Flowers > Everything 💌

Same-day delivery means you can absolutely send flowers on a whim. No birthday, no announcement — just a small thinking-of-you moment that makes someone’s entire day.

4. Keep Gifts Small but Cute ✨

A candle, a treat, or a tiny bundle of something thoughtful goes a long way. Galentine’s gifts shine when they’re curated, not complicated. Cozy always wins.

5. Make It a Pop-In, Not a Production ☕️

Coffee dates count. A stop by the shop counts. Swinging in together, picking flowers, chatting, and leaving with zero pressure to “celebrate correctly” counts most of all. Galentine’s Day works because it’s flexible, unfussy, and rooted in connection.
