This article is for the single ladies. Your February 14th does not have to be spent all alone and wishing that you have a partner. Instead of wallowing, go grab your single bestie and celebrate. Without further adieu, let’s jump into how to make the perfect Galentine’s Day.
Ask the Question
Yes, I know that this is Galentine’s Day but ask your bestie to be yours. Be as extravagant and as extra as you want. Pull out the red and pink construction paper and the glitter to make her a homemade card. Who doesn’t love a homemade card, right? For this Galentine’s Day, I’m going all out on the card for my bestie.
This is not required for an amazing card, but you can write a sweet note to them. Tell them what their friendship means to you. If you aren’t a sentimental person, then write something funny. Gas them up. Write something.
The Gift
I know we’re all college students here but gift your galentine a little something. You don’t have to go out and buy them an expensive gift. You could treat them to a coffee or buy their favorite treats/snacks. Furthermore, you can get creative by hand-making a gift or by baking something.
The gift is not the important part of the day, but it will make your bestie smile. While I cannot share my gift ideas for my own Galentine, I will share some ideas below for gifts of your own.

The Actual Day
Plan out and make a bestie date for you and her. Put some thought into it. Make the time you two spend together memorable and amazing. If you aren’t sure where to begin, then continue reading.
For the activities, I recommend going out and about during the day and spending the latter part of the day at home. While out, you can shop, get your nails done, try out a new coffee shop, take a yoga/pilates class, etc. At home, you can bake, paint canvas, watch some movies, cook together, play a game, etc.
Since you guys are going to spend a while together, you have to consider what you guys are going to do for food. I recommend going out for one meal and cooking the other. Moreover, it might be best to get lunch while you’re out and about, and then try a new recipe later that day. Most importantly, what are you guys going to have for dessert? Are you going to make it or create decadent ice cream sundaes?
While it’s important to live in the moment, I think you should take a few pictures to remember the time that you guys had. You don’t have to take pictures to post on Instagram but for you guys to remember the day.
While February 14th might seem only for couples, it’s for all of the close relationships in your life. So this Valentine’s Day, tell your family and friends how much you appreciate and care about them. Spread the love this Valentine’s Day.
