24 Best Galentine’s Day Gifts of 2026
While the origins of Valentine’s Day are murky, and its celebrations are sometimes fraught, Galentine’s Day offers uncomplicated seasonal joys — and a cheekier backstory. In 2010, Amy Poehler’s Parks and Recreation character, Leslie Knope, declared February 13 as a holiday for “ladies celebrating ladies” over breakfast (and free from men). The idea struck such a chord that groups of women IRL started celebrating their gal pals in earnest thereafter.
