Now that we've picked up the Glitter from New Year's and gotten back into the swing of things at work and school, it's time to prepare for February's best holiday: Galentine's Day. Bet you weren't expecting that, right? Yeah, you don't need a man to celebrate Galentine's Day, instead, just an awesome gal pal.
Galentine's Day was originally coined by "Parks and Rec" front lady and badass woman Leslie Knope, and has quickly become a tradition. Celebrated on February 13, Galentine's Day is all about the amazing ladies in your life, whether that's your best friend, mom, roommate, or entire girl gang!
If you're looking for some amazing gifts to get your Galentine this year, I've got you covered! Don't even stress it if you don't have a Valentine this year because, remember, ovaries before bro-varies.
