Ready for Galentine's Day? Fun fact: Amy Poehler'is iconic Parks and recreation character Leslie Knope invented Galentine's Day in 2010!
“It's just the best day of the year,” Poehler said in Season 2. “Every February 13th, my girlfriends and I leave our husbands and our boyfriends at home, and we just sit down and have it – breakfast style. Ladies celebrate ladies.”
If Valentine's Day is for couples, then Galentine's Day is for the girls! It's the perfect opportunity to show your best friends how much they mean to you. As another of our favorite fictional women once said, “Maybe our girlfriends are our soulmates and guys are just people to have fun with” (Charlotte York from Sex and the city was wise beyond her years).
We've rounded up our top 15 gifts under $50 for your girlfriends, including a few fun finds that will lighten the mood. We stuck with the pink and red color palette and also tried to choose gifts that included hearts where possible. Cheers to sisterhood and shopping!
