This year, we're showing our friends how much we value and appreciate them by celebrating Galentine's Day (a holiday designed to honor female friendships). Show your BFF a little extra love on the 14th with our favorite picks for Valentine's Day gifts for friends. 01 of 18 Floral Tumbler $38, Rifle Paper Co. Courtesy of Rifle Paper Co. With a shatter- and spill-resistant design—and bright florals to help cheer up even the dreariest winter days—this reusable tumbler is a perfect Valentine's Day gift. It keeps hot drinks hot for up to 9 hours, which means that even your busiest friends will be able to enjoy their entire morning cup while it's steaming hot! 02 of 18 Himalayan Salt Tequila Glasses $20, Uncommon Goods Courtesy of Uncommon Goods The pretty pale pink color of these glasses is enough to make any girl swoon, but once you learn that they're hand-carved from sea salt, well, the gift gets that much better! They're reusable and perfect for sharing a tasty tequila recipe or Mezcal at your next Mexican-themed family dinner party or virtual happy hour. 03 of 18 Wine Box $78, Vinebox Courtesy of Vinebox This isn't your average box of wine! Vinebox is the perfect way to send a few glasses to your best vino-loving friend. Their Date Night box is designed for couples, but we think it makes for a perfect at-home Galentine's Day celebration! The box comes with six tubes of wine (four reds and two whites) for a fun evening of wine tasting. 04 of 18 Ceramic Pie Dish $32, Art and Cook Courtesy of Art and Cook Perfect for the friend who loves to bake, this red and white pie dish is both practical and thoughtful. It's not overly Valentine's Day-themed—so they can use it all the time—but they'll think of you every time they whip up a new pie recipe. 05 of 18 Soaking Salts $26, Anthropologie Courtesy of Anthropologie This gift will help your bestie relax and unwind any day of the week. This all-natural salt soak combines pink Himalayan salt with clove, lemon, and frankincense for a delightfully calm bubble bath experience. 06 of 18 Custom Notecards $31, Papier Courtesy of Papier Love letters aren't just for romantic partners! Anyone who loves snail mail will appreciate this personalized stationery set from Papier's new Vita Collection. The colorful set contains 10 cards (with matching colorful envelopes) and can be customized with a name or phrase. 07 of 18 Long-Distance Friend Necklace $20, Etsy Courtesy of TwinkleAmi / Etsy Wear your friendship near your heart with this sweet long-distance friend necklace. Each necklace has two states, initials, and a heart in between, all displayed on an elegant bar necklace. Choose from silver-, gold-, and rose-gold plating to suit your BFF's style. 08 of 18 Botanical Journal Set $18, Rifle Paper Co. Courtesy of Rifle Paper Co. With a thick canvas cover, bold florals, and white paper inside, these pretty notebooks are sure to perk up any desk—and help even those more scattered among us to stay on task! And at an affordable price, it's a thoughtful gift that can be used in so many ways by a favorite friend. 09 of 18 Scrunchie Set $27, Brooklinen Courtesy of Brooklinen This luxurious scrunchie set is perfect for the friend who has everything—or the friend you don't know that well yet. Made by the rest and relaxation experts at Brooklinen, the set comes with three large scrunchies (black, white, and pink) made from long-strand pure mulberry silk. 10 of 18 Champagne Gummy Bears $5, World Market Upgrade her favorite gummy snack with this sweet-tart flavor combination of brut and rosé Champagne. They're non-alcoholic, a pretty pale pink, and an unexpected token of love to share this February 14. We suggest buying a few and spreading them around to all of your best gal pals (or make your own!). 11 of 18 Love Homesick Candle $34, Nordstrom Courtesy of Nordstrom Homesick candles are perfect for any of your loved ones because they're so versatile—get your friends the 'Love Letters' scent, or choose from the brand's other signature scents which include specific locations like states and cities. If you're gifting this to a long-distance bestie, pick up a state candle for each of your states and swap. She'll think of you every time she uses it! 12 of 18 Fab Fit Fun Box $50, Fab Fit Fun Courtesy of Fab Fit Fun Surprise your best pal with a voucher for a box full of all her favorite things! Give her a gift certificate to order a Fab Fit Fun box for herself (so she can choose the items inside), or pick the items you know she'll love and have it delivered to her doorstep. 13 of 18 Beer Cap Sign $35, Uncommon Goods Courtesy of UncommonGoods Celebrate all the nights out and happy hours spent with your bestie by giving her this state sign that holds 66 bottle caps. Gift the blank sign as-is, or fill in a few bottle caps of drinks you've shared together and let her fill in the rest. And if you're more of a wine-loving duo, there's a wine cork option as well for the same price. 14 of 18 Bad Girls Throughout History: 100 Remarkable Women Who Changed the World $18, Barnes & Noble Courtesy of Barnes & Nodle Inspire your favorite friends to live their best lives with a beautifully designed book filled with tales of inspiring women. Each story will inspire and motivate all the women in your life to follow their passions and goals—which is as good of a gift as we can think of! 15 of 18 Best Friend Card $7, Etsy Courtesy of Etsy / DeLuceDesign There's nothing like sweet snail mail to perk up any day, so this Valentine's Day, share how you really feel about your friendship. We're planning to buy a stack of these to share with all of our best girls. (And we might even hit up the USPS for heart-themed stamps to go with them!) 16 of 18 Bucket Cooler Bag $127, Corkcicle Courtesy of Corkcicle If you're looking for a splurge gift for your bestie, this Corkcicle cooler backpack is something you can use together on all your adventures year-round. The bag is large enough to hold a bottle of wine (or two) and all the picnic essentials you'd need for an afternoon outing. 17 of 18 Letter Board $11, Target Courtesy of Target Help a friend up their Instagram game—or inspire them to post meaningful sayings in their house—with a custom letter board. This white board comes with 181 letters, numbers, and symbols so it can be personalized as much as anyone desires. We love the thought of displaying this in a kitchen or entryway to set the tone for the day. 18 of 18 Best Friend Gift Box From $40, Etsy Courtesy of Etsy / TheZenFlower Send a spa day, no matter where your best gal pal lives, with this Best Friend Gift Box full of self-care gifts.
