What is Galentines Day?
You have heard of Valentines day where you shower your loved one with romantic gifts but have you heard of Galentines Day? This is the day where you show your gal pals how much you love and appreciate them. Sure we might send them a birthday or Christmas gift but if you are like me and your friends mean the world to you then why not spoil them on another day each year.
When is Galentines Day?
It is the 13th February – the day before Valentines Day. This is the day when we let our friends know how special they are. The day we show them how much we have appreciated the hours they have spent listening to us go on and on about our partners, our kids, our jobs and pretty much everything else that happens in our lives. Reward the with one of these great Galentines Day Gift Ideas.
