Our Galentine's Day Must-Haves
Galentine’s Day is one of our favourite days of the year. A day dedicated to showing your gal pals just how much you care? We’re in. And if gift-giving is one of your love languages (like it is for so many of us), then you’re exactly where you need to be.
From goodies for a night in together to relaxing getaways that actually make it out of the group chat, our Galentine’s gift list has exactly what you need to show appreciation for the besties who always have your back.
Girls' Night In
We love a night where we can be wrapped in blankets, drinking great wine, watching Bravo, and catching up over treats. If your Galentine’s Day plans sound like ours, you’ll love our must-haves for the perfect evening (or slumber party).
Enjoy wine night with in these beautiful Crate and Barrel Edge Wine Glasses. They’re perfect for gifting your Galentine who loves to host, and pulling them out for wine, charcuterie, and an overdue yap.
Would it be girls’ night without your favourite wine? We can’t get enough of the Palatine Hills Estate Winery Oh Goody! Rosé. It’s perfectly fruity without being sweet. Grab a bottle from your local LCBO for a perfect Galentine’s day glass or hostess gift.
Freshly baked and made to be shared, 23 & Co. Cookies offers up delicious baked goods in unique flavours. The Henley, JT, and Top Shelf (to name a few) will have you reaching back into the box to sneak another treat. Order your box for Galentine’s Day.
Remember high school slumber parties with face masks and friendship bracelets? We don’t need to say goodbye to that because we’re older. Add some nostalgic slumber party magic to your Galentine’s celebration with this hydrating collagen mask. It will be like the good old days, but with better skin benefits.
Take your slumber party up a level with the Lawless overnight lip plumping mask. Put it on before going to bed for a line-smoothing treatment that supports natural collagen production. Because
we’re just girls, but we take better care of our skin now.
Girls' Night Out
For the Galentine who’s always down to get dressed up and head out for a night of fun, these picks are made for them.
Everyone loves a signature scent, and these floral fragrances might become theirs. Gift your Galentine this Floral Gorgeous Gardenia Perfum set from Gucci for scents that will last through the entire evening, no matter where the night takes her.
We’ll say it again and again. We love a bag that’s fashionable and functional. This Starlet Crossbody Bag from Poppy & Peonies makes a statement and is the perfect accessory to her girls’ night out outfit. Wear it with jeans, a little black dress, or a fur coat. You can’t go wrong with this gift.
Self Care & Peaceful Moments
Are any of you Galentines self care queens? We have some perfect gifts for them.

Turn an everyday activity into a moment of calm with the Le Labo Shampoo. Its plant-based formula is thick, rich, and deeply nourishing. The woody, aromatic scent is reminiscent of the Hinoki trees that surround Buddhist temples in Japan. You Galentine will be inspired to pause, and take a moment to breathe.
For your bestie who loves a hot hair tool, but not the damage that comes with it, the Olaplex set is the perfect gift. This set is practical, but pampering, with hydrating properties to help them have a good hair day no matter how often they’re using the curling wand.
If your Galantine is after perfectly smooth skin, you need to gift them the Aesop Geranium Leaf Body Scrub. This exfoliating formula feels like a spa treatment at home. It encourages softer skin, and provides a thorough cleanse and polish.
We all know someone who has a lip balm
everywhere. Give them the gift of perfectly hydrated lips anywhere they go with the Necessaire Lip Balm. Instant relief for dry lips, 5 essential ceramides, and pure essential oils are just a few of the features of this magical formula. Your Galentine will have this in their purse, in the car, and on their desk for sure.
We all deserve a little self care that feels relaxing and playful. That’s what you can gift your gal pal with these all natural bath bombs from 1000 Islands Soap Company. With 15 scents to choose from, your bestie will be reaching for a bath bomb on a regular basis to slow down and relax.

Relaxing Getaways
Catch up, unwind, and pamper yourself and your Galentines with a getaway that will have you feeling rejuvenated and recharged.
When it’s time to spend some more intentional quality time with your Galentine, a trip to Ste. Anne's Spa is the destination for you. Ste. Annes offers the ultimate relaxation retreat. You can book a day trip with full use of their facilities and delicious afternoon tea, or extend your stay for a night or two in one of their onsite cottages to take advantage of all their amenities. You won’t regret booking a massage or facial, or enjoying all your meals there for 24 hours. It’s a great place to catch up, unwind, and spend some quality time with friends.
Apparel & Accessories
Give them a gift that’s comfortable, stylish and uniquely
them.

Full of personality, this Unreliable Narrator Ball Cap is a book lover’s go-to. It’s a casual accessory that provides comfort for everyday wear. This will celebrate your Galantine’s appreciation for a good book and a narrator who
might be a little questionable.
Sometimes the most simple gifts are the most appreciated. And that’s sure to be true when you give your Galentine their new Pela phone case. Pela cases are free of toxins and microplastics, while offering fun designs. It’s a small way to give their phone a refresh and find something that celebrates the season and their personal style.

Is your Galentine a culinary queen? Make their meal prep easier with a versatile griddle pan from Our Place. This sturdy, non-stick sheet pan doubles as a stove-top griddle which means you can make casseroles in the oven, or pancakes on the stove with one easy kitchen tool. It’s available in 7 colours to match their kitchen decor.
Can you tell we love a good drink tumbler? The Trek Tumbler from Simple Modern is a favourite on our team. It’s cupholder friendly, leak-resistant, and ergonomic.

Essential Oil Diffuser
At the end of the day, we all want a nice, calm atmosphere in our home. Help your Galentine achieve that with this must-have essential oil diffuser. It's elegant and small enough to place on a coffee table or bedside table. It features gentle warm light, dual mist modes, and has a timer feature to ensure it doesn't run longer than they need.
They’re the people you call with your biggest news, and the ones who are there to support you when life just isn’t going your way. Celebrate them with thoughtful gifts, time well spent together, and a whole lot of love. Happy Galentine's Day!
