Who needs an s/o when you have your girls?! I’ve come up with the best gifts to let your besties know how much you love and appreciate them. And maybe it will inspire you to treat yourself as well! P.S. I’ve linked a bunch of listings to help you out!

 

Custom Scrunchie

Recently, I’ve been on an Etsy kick; I think I order at least once a week! While searching for a gal gift for my roomie, I found a Pete Davidson scrunchie and thought it was perfect. Put your bestie’s fav star’s face on a scrunchie!! Etsy is full of custom listings.

‘Smells Like…’ Candles

Another star on Etsy, and even TikTok, are candles that are made to smell like someone. There’s Harry, Timothee, Pete – anyone you could imagine. There’s so many shops that make these candles as well, so if one doesn’t have the smell of your bestie’s dreams, you’re bound to find one from someone else.

Evil Eye Jewelry

This one’s a little more unique. If your gals are spiritual, interested by spirituality tiktoks, like crystals, or simply like the look of the blue eye the surrounds these ideals, go with this! Not only is it cute, but it has such a good meaning behind it. This represents protection along with a variety of things depending on what color the eye is, though it’s typically darker blue. I just got a pair of huggies and I love them. 

Earrings

I’ve seen a variety of cute earrings across Etsy lately, like hanging plants! Especially if your besties are plant moms. There’s so many more fun finds if you search ‘unique earrings’. I saw aliens, goldfish in baggies, and some minimal studs as well. I’m tempted to buy some!

Tumbler/Mugs

This idea is a well-known go-to for gift giving, but who doesn’t love mugs!! Especially if your friends are as obsessed with coffee as I am, this is a must. From those cheesy mugs with a picture of you all, unique pottery, or Rae Dunn inspired custom mugs. If she’s always on the go, write her a message on a mug with this custom tumbler! I saw it and had to share because this is so cute!

I hope you all enjoy your holiday, no matter how you spend it. Don’t forget to remind yourself how wonderful you are as well, especially if long, social days are draining. Treat yourself!! Happy Galentine’s Day!
