Galentine’s Day gift ideas for every friend in your heart

My Galentine’s Day celebration last year was filled with mini corn dogs, pink heart-shaped balloons, handmade friendship bracelets and a chocolate fondue station. In other words, it was the best day ever for my friend group.
That’s one of the things I love most about the holiday (besides the possibility of delicious finger foods); you get to honor the unique bond you share with some of your favorite people.
That’s also where Galentine’s Day gifts come in! They’re a great way to not only make a friend feel valued but also show how deeply you appreciate their special role in your life. If you need help deciding what to get all your closest girlfriends, read on for the ultimate list of Galentine’s Day gifts to help!

Galentine gift ideas for the hopeless romantic

They believe in magic, meet-cutes and love at first sight. They’re daydreamers and they LOVE a good book recommendation, especially if there’s a love story involved. Any of these gifts would be a perfect fit!
- Goodies for a tea party book club meeting. Grab the Bridgerton Be Bold Tea Cup Mug, cutesy socks and the Dahlia and Jasmine Scented 2-Wick Jar Candle to set the mood.
- A personalized bookmark.
- This Bookworm Hallmark Ornament that’s basically their whole personality.
- One of your favorite books inscribed with a dedication from you.
- This Why You’re My Bestie Personalized Gift Book.
- A nostalgic tiny book. We have ones like Disney Cinderella, Harry Potter Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and more.
- A reading light for those glorious nights when the story is too good to stop.
- A “blind date” book. Wrap it in some pretty gift wrap and tell the recipient not to open it until they’re ready to read something new.
- Frame the cover of their favorite book.
- A reading journal and pens.
- See what their favorite authors are up to! There could be some cool upcoming author talks—offer to take them and pay for dinner after.
- Write a short story or essay filled with your favorite things about her.

Galentine gift ideas for the foodie
This is the friend always down for trying a new restaurant or letting you taste their newest homemade delicacy. Show them how much you appreciate their culinary expertise with these fun gifts.
- A cute set of salt and pepper shakers. I love these Nintendo Super Mario Bros.® Mario and Luigi Salt and Pepper Shakers or the Friends Rachel’s Trifle Stacking Salt and Pepper Shakers to make their food-loving heart happy.
- Treat her to a food tour around your neighborhood. Have her pick a place she’d like to go for breakfast, lunch and dinner, or get one item to share at various restaurants.
- If they happen to love dogs, this Kikkerland Corgi Lovers Pizza Cutter. Or get the Kikkerland Cat Lovers Pizza Cutter if they prefer kitties.
- Fancy spices they don’t already own. You might need to do some investigative work and snoop around their kitchen before you decide which ones to buy.
- A gift card to their favorite restaurant or one you both visit together frequently, like that place with the great Taco Tuesday deal.
- A cookbook by one of her favorite chefs. See if they follow any on social media!
- A new mug for their favorite drinks. This Be the Sprinkles Mug is too adorable not to share.
- A gift basket full of chocolates and their favorite sweets. If you’d like to DIY something delicious (the ultimate act of love), check out some of these yummy dessert recipes.
- Pay for both of you to take a cooking class. Yes, even if you don’t like cooking. Think of the time together as part of the gift.
- A cute oven mitt like this Peanuts® Chef Snoopy one.
- A new apron that’s not covered in food splashes.
Plus, the perfect card to match: Sushi Funny Folded Friendship Photo Card
Galentine gift ideas for the hostess
She plans the best surprise parties/birthday dinners, always hosts the group hangouts and never misses an opportunity to transform her home into a festive wonderland. Whether it’s Galentine’s Day or her neighbor’s dog’s 5th birthday, she’ll take any reason to host a gathering.
- A cute set of tea towels to decorate the kitchen.
- Fancy Charmers to impress guests. There’s one for practically every occasion.
- Host a party dedicated to her. Between refilling the salsa bowl, making store runs to grab extra plates and all the other tasks to make the experience special for guests, there’s often little time for the hostess to have fun at her own party. Plan one where she isn’t allowed to lift a finger (even though there’s a 100% chance that she’ll try anyway).
- A charcuterie board for the ultimate party spreads. Pair it with the Christmas Tree Charcuterie Board Hallmark Ornament.
- A camera. Because again, she’s probably the person waltzing around the party taking pictures of everyone else but forgetting to take some of (and for) herself!
- A beautiful figurine. I love the Peanuts® Linus and Snoopy Wrapped in Friendship Mini Figurine; it represents the bond you share and helps her decorate.
- A funny wine coaster.
- A Disco Ball Candy Dish—unique and great for year-round festive vibes.
- A planner to keep track of their busy schedule.
- A gift card for a mani-pedi because they deserve it.

Galentine gift ideas for the spontaneous friend

With this friend, every day is an adventure. You can wake up early to watch the sunrise together, stop for a grocery shopping sesh, and go clubbing, all in the same day. As long as you’re together, they’re down for whatever! Celebrate their love for a good time with these creative gifts.
- A matching set of adorable Backpack Clips Conversation Hearts. Every time you look at them, you’ll think of each other. 🥹
- A travel book for a place they’ve always wanted to visit, placed in a nice gift bag.
- The Adventure Awaits Prompted Journal, a fun keepsake to inspire their next escapade.
- Tickets to a unique event nearby. I’ve seen fun things in my city like speed-friending and group stargazing.
- Confetti. Because we all deserve spontaneous confetti showers!
- If they’re into makeup, some cool new palettes with bold colors.
- A quirky set of drinkware like these glasses from The Golden Girls.
- A cute purse or bag to take on all their adventures.
- A framed photo of one of your favorite memories together (the wackier, the better).

Galentine gift ideas for the cozy companion

Galentine gift ideas for the crafty one
A DIY expert who can’t stand being ten feet away from her toolkit, this friend is an artsy genius with an endless well of creative hobbies. One week she’s learning how to crochet baby penguin plushies, and the next she’s casually building her own bookshelf. Encourage her whimsical creations with these gifts!
- Comfy things to wear while she works from home, like a cute hoodie or warm socks.
- A blanket for cozy crafting days spent knitting or cross stitching.

Galentine gift ideas for the sentimental one

As the sweetheart of your friend group, this girl is pure sunshine. When she’s not starting a new scrapbook or journaling her heart out, you can probably find her cloud-watching or tearing up over cute puppy videos. These thoughtful gifts are guaranteed to get her in her feels.
- Make a scrapbook dedicated to your friendship. Pages can include things like your favorite memories of her or places and songs that remind you of her with reasons why.
- A journal for all those wonderful feels.
- Restock her scrapbooking supplies. Pretty paper, colorful tapes, vibrant markers, fun stickers.
- Stationery for sending sweet letters to loved ones or pen pals (she’s totally the type of person to have a pen pal!).
- Take her on a friend date to the first place you met.
- A framed photo of a special memory you share.
- This dreamy Signature Love You to the Moon Constellation Metal Hallmark Ornament.
- Highlight an important keepsake/item in her life. For instance, write a silly letter to the childhood stuffed animal she still sleeps with, or create a fictional story that centers around the locket she never takes off. When you’re a highly sentimental person, there’s nothing more special than someone noticing the tiny details about you.
- Buy her something she mentioned wanting forever ago and would be surprised you even remembered. Again, it’s all in the details!
- A personalized ornament.

She’s the only person who knows all your most embarrassing secrets (including that time when you accidentally clogged her toilet during game night).

Galentine gift ideas for the friend who is hard to shop for
This person is the final boss of gift giving. They might be a new friend you don’t know too well but still want to celebrate. Maybe they’re super minimalist and always give a helpless shrug when you ask what they’d like. Or it’s the picky person who’s mastered that polite smile you give after receiving a gift you hate. 😬 No matter what, these gifts can work for, well, everyone!
- For a long-distance friend, a care package is always the way to go.
- A Gift Card Greeting to pick the gift of their dreams.
- Surprise them with lunch or a flower bouquet at work.
- One of these unique mug gifts.
- A selection of fun board games.
- A mini speaker.
- A color-changing mug or water bottle.
- A portable charger—because some of the best gifts are practical things that will make their life infinitely better.
- Nice headphones.
- A bubble machine. It’s the perfect stress reliever after a bad day.
Plus, the perfect card to match: Build-a-Bouquet Have a Beautiful Day 3D Pop-Up Card. (I don’t care how picky you are…it’s impossible not to swoon at this card. See how they work here!)
I know how frustrating shopping for friends can be when you can’t seem to find the perfect gift. But just remember that the point of a Galentine’s Day gift is to celebrate the joy of friendship and make the recipient feel special. To my fellow overthinkers who stress about finding the perfect gift, remember that if it’s thoughtful and given with love, that’s all that truly matters. ❤️
