February 14th isn't just about celebrating romantic love — it's a time to recognize your BFFs, too. There's really no excuse for not doing something special for your comrades, whether you've found yourself in a great relationship this Valentine's Day or are still super single. To help you out, we've put together a list of the best Valentine's Day gifts for friends.
While Galentine's Day monopolizes the "friend" part of the holiday, we've curated a list of picks for him and her that'll please anyone you want to honor this year. When browsing this guide, think about their style and whether they'd prefer something more sentimental or practical (or a little bit of both). There are so many affordable ideas on this list that you can be sure to get something for all of your special people, even if you're already shopping for a boyfriend or girlfriend. We've even thrown in gift sets like four pairs of heart-shaped sunglasses or an at-home cocktail kit that's just made for girls' night.
All of these ideas are simple yet thoughtful, and the personalized picks in our roundup are sure to speak to your unique relationship. Both flying solo this year? Even better! After you open gifts, enjoy a nice dinner and hunker down to watch great romantic comedies.
