Valentine’s Day is the perfect holiday to go all out on celebrating the love in your life, and beyond any romantic attachment, you can't forget to uplift your friendships, too. That’s what Galentine’s Day is for.

If you’re new to the holiday all about celebrating your girl besties, here’s a crash course. It’s celebrated on February 13, the day before its more romantic cousin. It was popularized by the 2010 Parks and Recreation episode “Galentine’s Day,” in which the endlessly optimistic Leslie Knope coins the holiday to celebrate her friends.

Whether you opt for a lovely brunch or a rom-com movie night with your besties, make your Galentine’s Day all the sweeter with a gift exchange. Yes, snagging a few Galentine's Day gifts may seem cheesy, but instead of hating on February 13th, why not go all out? Here’s the great thing about Galentine gifts, you have a lot of different routes to consider—from sentimental to cheeky—and no matter which one you take, rest assured that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to remind your gal pals how much you care.

Skip the glimmering diamonds and boxes of artisanal chocolates and opt for a gratitude journal with a monogrammed cover, an instant-print camera, or even a DIY pizza-making kit. There are infinite options, so before you settle for a scented candle and a sweet card—which is basically throwing in the towel—peep our list of Galentine's Day gifts she’ll cherish.

We found the best Galentine’s gifts to show your gal pals how much you care. You can always play it safe and start with a bouquet of flowers, or even pay tribute to the holiday with a heart-shaped waffle maker that breakfast queen Leslie Knope herself would approve of. Plus, if you’re headed to a Galentine's party this year, definitely don’t show up empty-handed. In short, go forth and shop.

Letters to My Friend: Write Now. Read Later. Treasure Forever.

For an extra sentimental gift idea, get two sets (one for you and one for her!) of these friendship letter prompts, and promise to write them to each other all year—then you can gift the finished letters next Galentine's Day.

Girl Dinner Holiday Gift Set

Printomatic Digital Instant Print Camera

Digital cameras may seem like a thing of the past, but what about ones that print your photos mere seconds after you take them? This one from Zink does just that. Plus, it's no thicker than a deck of cards, so you can slide it in your purse for those special occasions you'll want to remember forever. The techies will love this!

Super-Plush Robe

Is it just us or is the best part about staying in a hotel the bathrobe? Give your friends the gift of a hotel-quality bathrobe with this Brooklinen find. It's pink, striped, and super cozy. Did we mention it's also on sale?

Philodendron Heartleaf

Turning your friend into a plant parent may seem like a big decision to make for another person, but philodendrons are easy to care for. Plus, plants make for a fun project (and challenge).

Jewel-Tone Birth Month Dish

Whether she uses it as a catchall for her key or as a resting place for her most-worn jewelry, she'll love these birth month dishes. They make for an easy last-minute gift that still feels personal.

Digital Photo Frame

This digital picture frame may not be the prettiest, but it does more than its more traditional counterpart: It can display thousands of images on a loop. So before gifting it to your favorite friends, upload the USB with your favorite photos and let the recipients plug it in for a sweet surprise.

Monogrammed Soap & Towel Set

Yes, we have a weakness for monogrammed gifts, and this soap and towel set, which comes with three of each, is no exception. The towels are Williams Sonoma's famous super-soft terry and the soaps are out of this world. Not only do they smell delicious, but they're available in that beautiful antique-inspired white oval.

The Luminous Capsule

This set is perfect for the home chef that likes to experiment. Complete with the brand's famous cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, raw Champagne vinegar, California orange blossom honey, and brushed gold, stainless steel spout, makes every meal more delicious.

Valentine's Day Cards

If you're more into words than things, opt for a cute card, and pour your heart out. The set includes 12 cards and friendship bracelets, so you have something for everyone on your list.

Culinary Tote Bags

No one feels like reaching for a purse when out running errands. After all, purses are heavy, expensive, and often don't fit all of the random things you'll need during your outing. That's why we love a canvas tote, which is sturdier than it looks and decorated with charming illustrations.

Lucky Butterfly

When we think crystal, we think Baccarat, which has been crafting some of the world's most coveted crystal since the mid-18th century. These butterflies were designed by artist Evelyne Julienne in France, and are some of the brand's best-selling pieces.

Glossier Candles

The famed Glossier candle features notes of pink pepper, fresh Iris, and woody ambrette and ambrox. In other words, it smells like familiarity and comfort, which is what a best friend offers, right?

Custom Best Friend Portrait

These custom best friend portraits are the perfect way to turn your friendship into a work of art, and they'll so appreciate the sentiment.

'Why You're My Bestie' Fill-in Book

This fill-in-the-blanks book is full of prompts that will show your BFF just how much your friendship means to you. Just fill it out before you gift it, and it'll become a sweet keepsake.

Illustrated Love Tokens

These adorably illustrated "tokens of my love" act like faux-coupons for things like a mimosa brunch, a manicure, a night of dancing, and more for you two to do together.

Lavender Bath Bombs

There's no better gift than an opportunity to relax after a long week. This lavender-infused bath bomb trio helps set the tone for a quietly luxurious evening of self-care. Plus, they're made without parabens, sulfates, or mineral oil, and all of the fragrance she'll smell is real lavender, not a synthetic perfume.

Galentine's Day Wine Label

Is it even Galentine's Day if you don't share your favorite bottle of wine? Add this customized label to it to take it up an extra notch.

Ultrasonic Aroma Diffuser

This compact essential oil diffuser is ideal for any friends who could use a sense of luxury in their small spaces. Simply release a few drops of her favorite scents (lavender, vanilla, citrus, or anything else you can think of) into the opening, turn it on, and let a sense of relief wash over her.
