If I ruled the world, Galentine’s Day would be celebrated at least once a month because the women in our lives deserve to be wined and dined. For now, we have to limit ourselves to only celebrating once a year but that just means we need to go all out and let our favorite ladies know how much we appreciate them.
Below are a few gift ideas that will make your friend feel very loved.
For your glamorous friend, the FIERCE Latina Hair Pin Set.
There are dozens of sparkly, pearly hairpin sets but none that really speak to us. These beautiful pins display you bestie’s Latinidad and hustle with pride and in glitzy style. Anyone who opens this beautiful box is sure to say “awww, I love it!”
With this, your best homegirl will walk into the office, out into the world or even at home and let the world know she has a Congresswoman type of attitude. These Congresswoman hoops are 14 karat gold plated brass and nickel and cadmium free — perfect for those of us with sensitive skin. They are delivered in this beautiful box and ready for gifting…or to keep for yourself.
Your best friend works hard and she deserves self-care. Self-care doesn’t always need to be a full production with face masks and manicures, you’d be surprised how far a bath can go. These bath bombs will teleport your friend to a five-star spa and overwhelm her with a sense of calmness.
Most of us grew up with the ID bracelets that were given to us with so much love by our family members. Now you can add another powerful bracelet to your best friend’s collection.

Sometimes a girl needs a few reminders to let her know a mansplainer isn’t going to stop her. This $12.99 FIERCE Sticker Pack will make your amiga’s notebook, water bottle and laptop look like, super cute while also whispering sweet messages of empowerment.

Your friend may need this reminder who is going through a recent breakup. This necklace will give her the reassurance she needs to let go of baggage and move on with her head high. This necklace is a double-stacked necklace. You get a separate cubic zirconia pendant perfectly paired with a Mejor Sola necklace and each chain is a different design.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, which means it’s time to cue the balloons, bouquet of red roses and pink and heart everything! The truth is, even as one of the most manufactured and cheesy holidays, Valentine’s Day can be a wonderful way to remind the person in your life that you love them.
And while it often seems like the pressure has to solely be on one partner, it’s also a time of year for us all to step up.
Fortunately, Reddit is teeming with ideas for Valentine’s Day gifts for men.
“I was in college (22M). I a girl I had known since high school had a crush on me and I could tell. She was a student at the same university and we would occasionally meet our group of friends for lunch. This little gathering had gone on for several semesters and we all knew each other quite well. This girl had a really rough life and a learning disability that prevented her from reading social situations and advancing in her studies. I had been trough an incredibly difficult break up the previous semester and was looking at a lonely Valentine’s day. I am not sure if she was told by a mutual friend or if she took her own initiative but she got me a little sucker bouquet in a coffee mug for me. I have a really bad sweet tooth and am a coffee addict so this was the perfect gift. We ended up getting lunch just the two of us and had a great time. I will always remember how much fun I had.” –Brighter_Lighter
“My girlfriend made me a comic book of us and all of our adventures. Yes I cried.” –FireButchJones
“When I first started dating my now fiance, we worked together, along with her ex. When he found out we were dating he tried talking to me in the breakroom, and casually talked shit, saying shes clingy, etc. Then he said “You know, I would tell you some more stuff but im afraid you’d chirp (while making a talking hand gesture)”. He tried to act ghetto to the point where I was embarrassed for him. That became an inside joke between me and her, and I started saying stuff mockingly, like ‘Im gonna chirp up in this bitch’ and ‘Im chirping in the trap.’ Then it turned into us creating comics back and forth called “The Adventures of Chirp and Trap”. Everyday one of us would draw a comic, and the other would continue the story. Chirp was a bird who usually wore either a cowboy hat or a Rambo outfit, and Trap was a bird in a cage. I think we still have them somewhere, but one of the funniest ones was Chirp having to rescue Trap from a Dothraki horde.” –Treegs
“Every year, my mom makes this cookie cake with chocolate and strawberries and it’s the best thing ever. That’s the only ‘gift’ I’ve ever gotten for Valentine’s day (so far) Edit: forgot to take a picture of the first one but luckily she made an extra mini one this year. This is the first time she’s added the white chocolate, and it’s usually in the shape of a heart, but here it is.” –Zaquarius_Alfonzo
“Not a gf, but one time my parents bought me a box of slim jims as a kid and it lasted me until May. Was great.
I’ll marry the next woman who buys me a big ass box of slim jims.” –
“My parents would get me valentines day presents all the time! One year was a restaurant sized tub of ketchup (since I really loved ketchup at the time). It was both useful and fun! Though we threw it out before I finished it off, because the bottom of the tub was beginning to be a bit… off.
I’ve never gotten anything for valentines day not from my parents.” –
“A letter telling me all that she loves about me and how I treat her. It was the best. Her birthday was a couple of days after so it was very hard making her feel loved and appreciated like I felt when I gave her a shitty valentines gift.
The second best has to be nothing (different partner). Literal nothing. I bought her some of her favorite candy. But it was great because it really showed how our relationship was and I knew she wasn’t the right one for me and I wasn’t the one for her. She dumped me a couple days later. Couldn’t say I was surprised.” –cbarnes15
“one year a girl i was dating just sent me a big long message basically a letter telling me she wished she could be there with me (long distance relationship) and i was going through a rough patch and really drove home how much she cared about me and it was really beautiful, she was really good at making me feel special. i tried to do the same but i guess im just not good at it, i mailed her a letter i had written with her favorite candy but yeah the relationship eventually fell apart and i feel bad i couldn’t get across how strongly i felt about her.” –alchupanebra
“I got a steak, bourbon, a jump rope, and a bag of dorotos. I gave her a “sexy/naughty” calendar of me doing household chores wearing only an apron, a week of nightly foot rubs, I made her cinnamon rolls from scratch, and I hid 50 Ferrero Rocher around the house.” –Raininglemur
“I made a friend of mine who is a single woman a computer “game” that turned her xbox controller into a vibrator. I included all sorts of preset patterns too so that with button presses or voice commands you could change it up.” –
“I feel like I’m the only one who likes to give foot rubs. I think it’s a good work out for my grip strength and ladies love em. Like just ask and I’ll gladly give one. My ex didn’t like her feet touched though so I rarely gave them.” –drsquires
“It was junior year and my psychology class was doing a secret Santa type thing but for Valentine’s Day since we were close. I got a girl who I was fine with giving a gift to. Drew her a nice rose, wrote something cute and gave her chocolates, not a lot. What I got from another girl was pretty impressive. I got a nice handwritten card, a jar of kisses, and a bunch of candy put into a cute bag. Now, I was antisocial af and this was completely unexpected. I was expecting her to give me like a chocolate bar or something but nah, she gave me the entire bag! Such a friendly girl, wish her the best in her college life now.
I also got a valentines gram which had chocolates sent to me anonymously but I already knew it was this one girl a grade above me that sent it. Weird cause I’m usually the one that never gets shit.” –Reddit User
“When I was in high school from my first serious girlfriend. My first valentine’s day in a relationship. We had been dating about five months at the time.
I ask her what she wants for valentine’s day. She says she doesn’t want anything, just a dinner with me (I already had reservations). I ask her again, incredulously, “you don’t want anything, not even flowers?”
“No, I don’t want anything.”
“Are you sure? No flowers?”
“I’m sure.”
“No flowers?”
“Don’t get me flowers.”
So… I don’t get her anything except chocolate and a dinner reservation. Definitely no flowers.
At the end of the day, she is upset she hasn’t gotten any flowers delivered. I tell her that I didn’t get her any, she told me not to. She cries, and tells me not to talk to her. Refuses to answer my calls. We don’t go out to dinner, and I spend valentine’s day alone.
My gift? One of the greatest lessons I have ever learned – don’t take women literally, it’s a trap.
“My sophomore year of high school some girl who I really hadn’t thought much of gave me a card that read “To: Cute boy, you have a really nice smile”. We hung out a bit after that but things didn’t go to great (long story). Anyways that one valentine started a chain reaction that ended some serious depression I had and now I smile more often.” –supeguy212
