Though romantic love is widely pushed on to society as the purpose of Valentine’s Day, the term and celebration of Galentine’s has become more and more popularized in recent years. Here are a few date ideas to plan with the Galentine’s to celebrate and cherish female friendship.
A movie date is the perfect group or duo activity for this Valentine’s Day. There are plenty of movies coming out on February 14th including Captain America: Brave New World, Paddington in Peru, Becoming Led Zeppelin, and Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy. Going to the theater with friends is the perfect way to spend relaxing quality time together and even grab dinner or ice cream after to debrief about the film.
A secret Valentine gift basket exchange is the perfect celebration idea for a larger friend group. The rules are like Secret Santa, but instead of a Christmas Gift, the exchange would be little goodie baskets with your Galentine’s favorite items. These items could include a stuffed animal, their favorite makeup product, skincare essentials, or maybe a cute pajama set. These baskets are completely customizable and the perfect way to show appreciation of a gal you love.
The classic dinner date has the opportunity to take on a whole new meaning this Valentine’s Day. This is the perfect idea for someone who loves hosting dinner parties or events where they can display their creative table settings and charcuterie skills. You could even take this date out on the town with a group of your favorite gals and spend the evening at a restaurant chatting over appetizers.
Even though Valentine’s Day’s themes of romantic love can be hard to overlook, taking the time out of this day to cherish friendship can make it truly special.
