Baby2Body’s Galentine’s Day Gift Guide: 5 Must-Haves

It’s almost Galentine’s Day! In case you don’t know, Galentine’s Day is like Valentine’s Day, but it’s all about female friendship and women celebrating women, and that’s something we can definitely get behind. It’s celebrated the day before Valentine’s, on the 13th of February, and is just an extra chance to tell the women in your life how much they mean to you!

Where does Galentine’s Day come from?

Galentine's Day actually comes from a 2010 episode of the sitcom “Parks & Recreation”. The holiday was coined by Amy Poehler's character, Leslie Knope, who said:

“Every February 13th, my ladyfriends and I leave our husbands and our boyfriends at home, and we just come and kick it, breakfast-style. Ladies celebrating ladies.”

It’s since become quite the holiday, with women across the world throwing parties and exchanging gifts each February to celebrate their friendships.

We’re sharing the top 5 gifts you need for the Galentine’s in your life, so you can spread some love and happiness!
