When Is Galentine’s Day
Galentine’s Day falls on the 13th February this year.
Whilst it may be the beginning of the week, there’s no better way to spend a Monday than with your fave gals, right?!
It essentially came into our lives with the knowledge that being single isn’t a bad thing whatsoever, and we shouldn’t pull ourselves down JUST because we don’t have a partner in our lives *PREACH*
We shouldn’t live our lives just by the status of our relationships, or in fear that we’re going to be single forever, we should be spending this time celebrating our best friends and focusing on the positives in our life.
Enough of the pep talk, let’s celebrate Galentine’s Day in style and dive into our incredible list of the best gift ideas this year…
1. Mini Ugg Boots
If you’re on Tiktok then you’ll understand where we’re coming from – these Ultra Mini Ugg Boots are to die for!
Fashion predictions (somehow) knew these boots were going to come back into fashion and we’re not mad about it.
You might struggle to get them in their size as they’ve been sold out for a hot minute.
When they do come back you need to pick them up ASAP.
They’re the perfect gift to get your bestie this Winter time, and they’re even wearable through till spring considering they’re so mini.
2. Makeup Revolution Bright Light Highlighter Strobe Champagne (Charlotte Tilbury Dupe)
