There are just 2 days left until Valentine’s Day and I’m ready to go!  I’ve got my family dinner planned and gifts ready to go.  There’s only one thing left to do…deliver a few Valentines to my Galentines.  If you’re needing a last-minute idea, I’m sharing this darling and simple Galentines gift idea.

Years ago I started a tradition of stopping by my girlfriends’ homes and wishing them a Happy Galentines’ Day, on each Valentines.

I start by purchasing some clear gift boxes.  I prefer the 5″x5″ ones.  I can’t find them anywhere at craft stores, only the 2″ ones.  So I order the 5″ boxes HERE.

On the bottom I’d start with some cute shredded paper.

You can order or make Valentine’s cookies.  Then I would buy some chocolates and candies also.

Cut a ribbon and tie it around the box and add a tag or card if you wish.

I think it’s fun to put on a shirt or sweater with hearts or lips, something festive, and deliver these cute little gifts. We’ve moved around so much, until now, that it’s been fun to make a lot of different friends wherever we’ve lived and surprise them, since they don’t know about my fun Galentine tradition.  You don’t even have to do it every year OR it can be different friends each year, maybe just a few at a time.  But it’s something simple and thoughtful and they will always be surprised and grateful.

Whether you’re single or not, Valentine’s Day has become a popular holiday to also celebrate friendships.  Women all over the world are celebrating “GALentine’s Day” with fun luncheons, brunches, girls’ nite outs, parties or just swinging by to say, “I love you and I’m so glad we are friends.”  I love it!  There’s nothing like having a good group of women that support you and love you and always have your back.  So of course, it makes perfect sense to acknowledge them as well.  I’ve rounded up a bunch of affordable gifts (mostly from $10-$50) from beauty and apparel to home decor and sweets in this GALentine Gift Guide to help give you some ideas.  Click on any image and it will take you to the store!

I absolutely love this new necklace called “You’re Making Me Blush”.

Our Large Rhinestone Bow Bangle is always a favorite and such a pretty gift to give a friend.

This gorgeous Pink & Khaki Plaid Blanket Scarf is a gorgeous gift and much more affordable than the Burberry original.

If you’re not getting anything for your Galentines, maybe you could make them a plate of cookies or send them a nice card?  I like to do this every year.

Excuse the iPhone picture from 2015, but you get how cute they are right?!

I ordered these ones and they came in these cute little boxes (I purchased a dozen).  I put on my soft lips sweater and spent a day delivering them to my girlfriends with a big hug and told them how much I adored them.  You should try it!  It is the most fun and it means so much to your girlfriends!

Here are some great cookie sources you can order from (scroll right to see more):

And some cute tops with lips or hearts too!

I hope this motivates you to do something fun this year.  If it’s not your thing, well then show yourself a little love and grab some of these cute things above for YOU!  Or you can even send this link to your significant other for some gift ideas…ha!

Of course, my kids did not get this pop-culture reference but I had to do it!  Too funny right?!  This would be a great one for your “Galentines” and hand them out to all your girlfriends on your night out!  Also a fun one for couples.

I found the Hershey’s kisses tubes at Walmart and then made the free printable.  Right click and save or download the pdf here —–>   “Will You Accept This Rose”
