Galentine’s Day is fast approaching, where female friendships are celebrated with activities like brunch, spa days, craft nights, or themed parties.
This day is globally celebrated a day before Valentine’s Day, February 13, leaving you with no excuse of not celebrating your friends.
Popular ideas include hosting a pyjama movie marathon, doing a wine-and-paint night, or organising a clothing/book swap. Activities like cookie decorating, escape rooms, or a picnic can also make the day memorable.

Book a fun class together
Calm Sleep shared that trying something new together is a great way to bond, laugh, and create ridiculous memories.
Whether it’s a paint-and-sip night, a dance class, or even a cooking workshop, the fun is in the shared experience. Plus, there are always online classes for friends who don’t live in the same city.
Have a no-phone, all talk dinner
We love a good group chat, but when was the last time you had a real, uninterrupted conversation with your besties?
Head to a nice restaurant or cook a meal together at home, but make one rule: no scrolling, no distractions — just deep, uninterrupted quality time. Maybe you can even come up with some discussion topics ahead of time like favourite books, podcasts, or even goals you have for the future.
