Will you be my quarantine?
*insert the laughing but crying emoji here* LOL!
Seriously, though. Did you really think we’d still be here almost a full year later? Gah.
With many cities across the country still having stay-at-home orders, this year’s Valentine’s may require staying in rather than dining out. I hardly saw any of my girlfriends last year so what better way to say, “I love you” than with a Galentine’s gift!
Here’s a list of my top gift recommendations for the gals in your life.
How cute and functional are these matches? This is borderline genius IMO. These would be great for the friend who likes to meditate and do all the natural things! $8.95+
Think soap dish but better! Soap Standle attaches to the bottom of your soap to help stop that goo that inevitably forms at the bottom of a conventional soap dish. It also increases the life of your soap and is made in the U.S.A. Gotta love that! $5+
We’ve all got that health nut friend. Introduce her to Self Supplements that are packed with amazing vitamins, minerals, herbs and amino acids that taste great with plain water. So, go on and help your friend achieve her optimal health. Don’t forget to grab one for yourself, too! $39.99

It’s not every day that you see a black candle. Give this gift to your one-of-a-kind friend that’s like none other.
