Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and while there’s many ways to celebrate romantic partners on February 14, it’s also a day to celebrate the best friends who are there through all the ups and downs of love. 

Of course, this isn’t a new concept. In fact, there’s a distinct (and fabulous) name for it: Galentine’s. Ready to find the best Galentine’s gifts friends will fall for? Check out this guide, packed with Valentine’s day gift ideas for best friends. Or just really good ones. Then, scroll through to the end of the post, for outfit ideas that will sizzle, whether February 14 turns out to be a hot date night or a great evening out with besties. 

Regardless of budget, Valentine’s gifts for your best friend that help her look her best are always a hit. Go luxe with Lancome’s Absolue Revitalizing & Brightening Soft Cream, a Nordstrom favorite both for it’s delicious, creamy feel and for it’s ability to visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. 

Tech-savvy ladies will absolutely love this NUFACE Trinity Facial Toning device, certainly one of the more indulgent Valentine’s day presents for friends. Still, the higher price point delivers serious results: this FDA-cleared device stimulates the face to fight sagging skin, improve skin tone and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. 

Planning a girls getaway for V-day? Go lower budget, and help all the ladies in the group hit the ground looking smoking hot with this Orgasm Glow Travel Size beauty set from NARS. The included blush and contouring stick deliver the ultimate after-glow look. But without the need for a partner. So it’s one of those Galentine’s gifts friends without a special someone will surely appreciate.

Got ladies on that list who don’t yet have their signature scents? These Valentine’s day presents for friends will help tickle their olfactory senses. 

For the ladies who need to stand out in a crowd, this Tom Ford private blend is the perfect fragrance. Not only does this warm and spice Lost Cherry scent smell great, it also comes in an elegant deep-cherry bottle. So the gift is also a delight to look at, even after it’s all used up. 

Girly-girls will fall for this Miss Dior Eau de Parfum, which comes all wrapped up with a pretty silver bow. The fresh floral blend of scents includes peonies, roses and lilies-of-the-valley. Basically, a bouquet in scent form, one of the most perfect Galentine’s day gifts for her. 

Finally, for the not-so-basic girl in the crew, try this Chanel Chance  fragrance. The classic brand added hints of vanilla, jasmine and iris with traditional musk for a fresh twist on an old favorite.

Why fight for a reservation or face a sea of couples on February 14? Instead, try planning a Netflix and chill night with the ladies—then, hand out these super cozy Valentine’s day presents for friends who are ready to join in the binge-fest. 

First up? This Skims Cozy Knit tank, the perfect blend of athleisure and lounge wear. Decadently soft, thanks to the polyester-nylon blend, this pretty scoop neck tank is just what brand owner Kim Kardashian would gift to her crew. 

Planning to lean into the at-home vibe? And indulge in masks, manicures and other home beauty rituals? Gift this oh-so-adorable fuzzy print fleece robe from Splendid. Because these are the kinds of Galentine’s gifts friends receive like hugs.

What’s more fun than buying an amazing accessory for a close friend? Scoring one for personal use, too, and rocking them out in the world together. And each of these finds are so nice, they’re worth buying twice. 

Case in point: This gorgeous gold charm bracelet from Monica Vinader, available at Nordstrom. The push-clasp links are completely on-trend. There’s an option to select a sterling silver or 18K gold plate bracelet, depending on preference. Plus, the chance to celebrate future friendship milestones in charm form makes this and other charm bracelets very sentimental Valentine’s gifts for your best friend. 

Love the chain link look, but not a big bracelet fan? Consider this Bony Levy 14K gold stacking ring, a delicate piece that still has plenty of presence. Measuring at a 1/8-inch width, it can double up, or stack with existing pieces in friends’ collections. 

Want Galentine’s day gifts friends can keep close to their hearts? Grab this gorgeous Monica Vinader Deia Beaded Disc Pendant Charm. Simple and elegant exactly as it is, the charm’s ½-inch pendant diameter also lends itself to engraving initials or special messages of friendship.

Once Valentine’s day presents for friends are all lined up, it’s time to pick the perfect outfit. Ones that work for staying in or going out. Pick the mood of the planned gathering, then browse outfit ideas for everything from bar meet ups to home-hangs and so much in between. 

Planning to dance all night in celebration of Galentine’s day? Then this sexy dress from Revolve is the perfect choice of outfit. The subtle side cutouts on the Michael Costello Lenora Dress show just enough skin, without crossing the line into risqué territory. Plus, the body skimming fit is oh-so-flattering, with enough give for grooving, thanks to the rayon/poly/spandex blend construction.

Planning a more casual drinks night out? Pair this silky Lovers and Friends Cori Tank Top with skinny jeans. Or a boyfriend cut, for all the Gen Zs out there who say skinnies are over. Then add cute heels or a dressy sneaker and get ready to receive a whole lot of drinks from others. 

Finally, if a classic restaurant dinner is in the works for Valentine’s day, this Free People X Revolve Turnt Bodysuit is a wardrobe must-have. The poly-elastane blend offers a glam shimmer, and the pull on styling and snap closure means the draping—and deep vee neckline—will stay firmly in place. No tugging required—and no wardrobe malfunctions to worry about!
