People / David Hattan

The days of February being an exclusively romantic month are long over, and with the rise of Bestiemoons in full force, we think it's a great time to show some love and appreciation to your best friends.

Galentine’s Day is a holiday that was accidentally created by Parks and Recreation to celebrate friendship and show gratitude for those who have your back all year long. If you’re looking for a few goodies for a gift swap, dinner party, or a gift basket catered to your ride-or-die, here are the 40 best Galentine's Day gifts to make your friends smile.
