Our best friends are so important in our lives. Who else can you depend on to hep you pick up the pieces when your life falls apart, or go get your kids after school when a zoom meeting runs long?
While Galentine’s Day started as a joke, it’s evolved into a real thing. A special occasion where women can recognize the other amazing ladies in their lives and celebrate their best friends.

We’re putting together a really amazing Galentine’s Day Gift basket, full of incredible items all the women in your life would be beyond excited to receive.
Take care of your skin
Taking your makeup off can be an ordeal. No longer do you have to worry about ruining your good towels with these cute makeup remover towels from Weezie. Embroidered with hearts, they make a great addition to any Galentine’s Day gift basket.
Pair these with a fantastic cleanser like Kate Somerville Goat Milk moisturizing cleanser. This cleanser is so gentle and is perfect for even the most sensitive skin. It removes dirt and impurities without making your skin feel dry or tight. Plus, it’s formulated with jojoba, manuka honey, and goat’s milk for extra moisturizing and soothing properties.
Bring the Spa Home
Get that spa like experience at home with the Voesh Vitamin C Shower Filter. It makes your shower smell amazing, but it also helps to remove contaminants from your water, which in turn, softens and improves your skin. Oatmeal powder, vegan probiotics, and botanical oils combine to soothe and moisturize your skin.
If you really want a special bathtime (or shower) experience, add in a matching, or coordinating, scent of Sugar Scrub + Bubble Wash. The 1-2 punch does wonders for your skin. Even better, this combo is really budget friendly and comes in half a dozen scents.
A Stunning Smile
Everyone wants whiter, brighter teeth. Get them with the Venus Visage teeth whitening strips and teeth whitening pen. Even if you have a great oral health routine, your teeth still get stained just from our daily lives. Both of these are enamel safe and work to get rid of years of stains. These are so easy to use, and even better, they’re compact in size, which means they fit discretely into your purse, makeup bag, or even your desk at work.
Show off that brilliant smile with Florasis Blooming Rouge Love Lock lipstick. This gift worthy lipstick is a piece of art. The ornate case belies the beauty of the actual lipstick that it holds. Ornately carved, this lipstick is almost too pretty to use. Almost. It’s transfer proof, so your lipstick lasts all night, and makes your lips look amazingly smooth and moisturized. The lipstick is available in several colors, so you can find that perfect shade.
Pedi Night at Home
Help your bestie pamper herself with an at home pedicure. The Pedi in a Box from Voesh New York is the perfect start to the evening. The 5 step process has pretty much everything she needs to get gorgeous tootsies. Plus, it comes in a really yummy Raspberry Sorbet scent. If her feet need more TLC, go to the Heel Repair Duo from Voesh. The Heel Repair Balm and Heel Socks are a one-two punch that will have anyone’s feet feeling good and ready for sandal weather.
Don’t forget the finishing touch – some great nail polish!
Wine without the Headaches
Most everyone loves having a glass of wine with their Galentine. No one wants the headache that can follow, especially as we get older. *ahem* Enter The Wand Wine Purifier. Just add these wands to your glass of wine, wait a couple minutes, and let them work their magic. The Wand filters out the sulfites and histamines that are naturally occurring in wines without adding anything or altering the taste. Pair this with a great bottle of wine.
A great scent
Your Galentine deserves a great fragrance. We really like Coach Floral eau de parfum for our bestie. It’s a sweet floral scent that is perfect for women of all ages. With notes of pineapple sorbet, tea roses, and vanilla musk, this perfume combines fruity and floral scents without feeling cheap or too youthful and keeping the sexy sophistication that’s great for day or evening wear.
Sweet Treats
Don’t forget to add some sweet treats to your basket of Galentine’s Day gifts. You can always include her favorites, but why not elevate these goodies a little. One great go to is Hot Hearts cinnamon flavored candies or Sour Hearts fruit flavored sour chewy candies, both from See’s Candies. For something really different, try the Freezcakes freeze dried cheesecake bites. These come in about 6 different flavors, and they taste just like cheesecake, except smaller, and freeze dried.
Smell goods for their Home
Everyone wants their home environment to smell good. Tuck a candle from VellaBox into their basket. Vellabox is a subscription based artisan candle service that features a different candle from a different maker each month. It’s a great way to discover new artisan and indie candle makers, as well as be introduced to scents you might not choose for yourself.
If candles aren’t her thing, how about a reed diffuser? Tocca has produced their signature scents in a whole line of great reed diffusers. If your Galentine has a favorite Tocca fragrance, there’s a good chance that it can also be found in a diffuser. Even better, these are gorgeously packaged, ready for gifting, and look so elegant in just about any décor aesthetic.
Something to hold all her goodies
Of course, you need somewhere to put all your best friends’ new Galentine’s Day gifts. You can put them in a basket or an ice bucket would be cute, too. But what about something she’ll use again and again? Something like the Pocket Rocket Pocket Tote Bag from Scout Bags? This all purpose tote will take her from the farmer’s market to little league and soccer games to the beach or the pool, and she’ll look good the entire time. This bag holds up to 50 lbs, and the exterior pockets are perfect for water bottles, beverages, or just organizing stuff.
