Galentine’s Day Ideas & Tips!
We all know about February 14th. Everyone talks about Valentine’s Day. You can’t walk into a retail store right now without elbowing your way through boxes of 4-foot-tall teddy bears or telling yourself to look away from the chocolate. What we don’t hear as much about is the holiday that falls the day before Valentine’s Day: Galentine’s Day!
February 13th is the day for women to celebrate the importance of our female friendships. Women can carry a lot of weight on their shoulders. A day to recognize the women that help us carry that weight sounds like a good idea to me. Here are 5 ways you can celebrate with your gal pals this year!
STAY IN
1. Have a Wine Swap
Invite all your girls over for girl talk, finger foods, and…plenty of wine! Everyone brings a bottle of their favorite wine. You can pop it open and every person gets to try each choice, or do it as a White Elephant game where every person leaves with a different bottle than they came with. PJs mandatory, of course.
2. Host a Cookie Day
A very dear friend of mine has a “Cookie Day” with all the women in her family around Christmas time each year. They all come together, they each bake different items and then it’s divided up between all of them. This year, she was kind enough to include me. So much fun! The memories (and the calories) will stick with me forever. I think this idea would work great for a Girls’ Night as well. What a fun way to spend an evening with friends!
GO OUT
3. Tell Your Besties You Love Them A “Brunch”
I think it would be a hard task to find a friend group that doesn’t enjoy brunch. Why not celebrate your friendship with a totally Insta-worthy meal? Besides, the bottomless mimosas will have you telling your girls just how much you really, REALLY love them. Sidenote: One of Beaumont’s hidden gems, Lacuna Tequila Bar offers a weekday and weekend brunch with great food and drink specials!
4. Find a Local Bar
Despite all the “Southeast Texas is SOOO boring!’ comments we often hear, SETX has a great bar scene with lots of locally owned options. My two favorites are both located in Mid-County. Buckstin Brewery in Nederland offers a welcoming, homey feel with great beer choices. The new Meridian Wine Bar in Port Neches has a great ambiance to enjoy some wine and conversation with your favorite ladies.
NO TIME?
5. Make a Goody Box
If your schedule looks anything like mine, it’s PACKED. Kids, extracurriculars, ball games, etc. take up a lot of time. If you still want to show your favorite girls some appreciation but a night out just doesn’t fit your schedule, make a goody box with things you know she’ll enjoy. Grab some cupcakes, face masks, bath bombs, candles, and make a pretty little box to surprise her with! You could also find some fantastic gift options at the Galentine’s Pop Up Market hosted by 434Fannin. February 9th from 6-8pm enjoy drinks, a DJ, a photobooth, and Galentine’s shopping from locally owned vendors!
I know you don’t need a special day to make sure your friends know they’re loved, but Galentine’s Day sure does hold a lot of opportunities for fun. Do you plan on celebrating this year?
