Valentine's Day isn't just about finding the perfect Valentine's Day gifts for him—it's also the perfect excuse to indulge in overpriced chocolate, Galentine's Day gifts, and your favorite bottle of wine with your best friends by your side.

Galentine's Day is a pre-Valentine's Day celebration made famous by Amy Poehler's character Leslie Knope on Parks and Recreation. Celebrated on Feb. 13, Galentine's Day is a day to celebrate your co-workers, friends, sisters, cousins, and more: essentially, the people you love who you don't typically show appreciation to on Valentine's Day itself.

Galentine's Day can be an alternative to Valentine's Day if you don't have a significant other to shower with roses and presents, or it can be an additional way to celebrate the non-romantic relationships in your life. And these fun Galentine's Day ideas are the perfect way to show your friends how much you care about them.
