Spread the Love: 16 Galentine’s Day Gift Ideas Under $100

Your best friend works from home, and when she needed a backdrop for all of those Zoom calls? She picked vintage record sleeves so she’d have an opportunity to dish on her fantastic musical taste. While roses are nice for your gal, what’s better is a bouquet made of vinyl record scraps. You’ll be friends forever, and this bouquet will last just as long. While colors may vary depending on the materials available, she will receive four beautiful, handmade roses in a bouquet holder.

Some friends could be classified as fairweather: only there when the going is easy and fun. But the best of friends are there for all of the seasons of life, whether sunshine-filled or bombarded by rain clouds and thunder. Thank your bestie who loves you through all of the season with this personalized desk calendar. You can upload your favorite images from memories you’ve shared, and she’ll be reminded that you’re there through it all, too. 

When you need an excuse to decline an invite politely, you have that one friend who always loves to miss out and doesn’t experience FOMO. Thank them for countless movie nights, venting sessions, late-night pizza ordering, and generally, just being so supportive with this sleep shirt. We suggest sizing up a few sizes, so it’s extra cozy for your homebody pal.

In a past life, your friend was definitely a bartender, but now, she’s a successful lady who eagerly invites friends over for craft cocktails. This Galentine’s Day, introduce her to a new modern aperitif made locally in New York. You can think of it as in the same family as Aperol or Campari, but with a lighter and often lemon profile, without the bitter taste. It’s light on sugar, big on flavor, and only 16% alcohol. Toast to your bestie — and the many parties to come. 

Let’s be honest: Our friends are more than our partners in crime and last-minute weekend adventures. They also serve as our confidants and part-time therapists. For your friend on a soul-searching journey, this journal may help them discover new truths, just like having a long wine-filled evening with you. From a life coach, this book encourages through-provoking answers and life-changing conversations to improve perspective, outlook, and connection.

As you scroll through Tik Tok and see one dance crew after another, all clad in matching sweat suits, you can’t help but think of your bestie. She seemingly has an entire wardrobe of perfectly-paired outfits. Lean into the pink-and-red February theme with this ridiculously cozy jogger and sweater set. She’ll love the fit — and you, for indulging in her obsession.

Every time you visit your bestie, she seemingly has a new baby aka another plant. You don’t know how she keeps up with the unique water and light needs of all of her green children, but you’re impressed with her home, that’s basically an indoor garden. This Galentine’s Day, gift her this adorable giraffe planter handcrafted by artisan communities and made of sustainable ingredients. Plus, your purchase will also empower workers in the Philippines. Don’t forget to add a plant — or if your thumb isn’t green, let her add in her magic.

Whether your friend can’t seem to find intimates that give her the support she needs, or she’s recently postpartum and rediscovering her new body, it can be a tricky time. Encourage her self-love journey to love the body she has with this woman-owned, size-inclusive designer underwear subscription service. Each month, she’ll receive a fit of her choice, from bralettes and bottoms to panties. Depending on tier, she’ll receive a selection of products from Commando, Clo Intimo, Natori, Cosabella, and others.

There’s a sweet tooth — and then there’s a chocolate obsession. Your friend falls in the second category, and this small-batch gift set will indulge her taste buds. Not only is the chocolate sustainable and ethically made, but it’s also full of complex, fruity flavors, and the world’s highest-quality Madagascar cocoa. This company’s mission is to regenerate the Madagascar forest and provide sanctuary for endangered lemurs. She not only gets her chocolate fill, but the gift adds meaning, too.

When you need someone who will hold you accountable for your fitness resolution, you know who will text you at 6 a.m., without fail. For the best workout buddy who is always there to push you harder or hand you a surprise protein smoothie, gift her this festive rose pink sports bra. It gives her support for burpees, yoga, and weight lifting, and well, it’s cute, too!

Reminder: You can gift flowers, too. It’s not just something a romantic partner has permission to do — and no matter the context, they bring light and color to your friend’s home. This beautiful bouquet of yellow roses — symbolic of friendship — is created by POMP, who provides flowers to the Miss America pageant, the Rose Bowl, the Tony Awards, and more. They are 5-star quality, just like your classy friend who loves the glitz and glam. They raise their flowers in Quito, Ecuador and are cut to last at least seven days. 

You may be broke, and your love life may be a joke — but your bestie will send you Instagram memes all day long, reminding you that you’re not alone. Even if you aren’t lucky enough to live across the hallways from your best friend, you can remind them you have their back, no matter the zip code, with this candle. It’s inspired by the iconic sitcom and features notes of espresso bean, brewed coffee, caramel, steamed milk, and more.

What’s better than a best friend? A best friend who is growing a new best friend! For the expecting pal who is gradually growing out of her clothes, gift her these coveted maternity leggings. Not only are they buttery soft and supportive, but they also provide room to stretch through all three trimesters and in the early days of postpartum recovery, too. Though these are a bit over $100, we say she’s worth it, since hey, she’s probably making eyelashes right about now.

Whether your truest Galentine has four paws and a wet snout or your friend is obsessed with her dog (and you don’t blame her), this fashion-forward dog sweater is a must-purchase. We love the quality material that’s fluffy, cozy, and stretchy, thus fitting a floor through weight fluctuations and in-between grooming appointments. Might we suggest finding a matching sweater for you or your friend, too?

While you may be keen on takeout, when you visit your best friend, they have a feast planned for the evening. And while they may not always create a Michelin-worthy meal, they put in much effort, and they cook with love. Support their at-home chef skills with this sweet oil set created by celebrity chef and restaurateur Brian Malarkey. The goal is to take the guesswork out of what oil goes on what pan or dish, with labels that explain what can sustain high heat, what makes sense in a dip, and more. 

Did you become a mama to a little girl recently? Since you now have a tiny Galentine to celebrate with, don’t be shy about the sweet factor. This iconic matching “mama” and “babe” denim jacket set is adorable, allows for a stretch as the baby grows (and for your comfort), and will become a treasured keepsake. If you ask her, she’s probably up for a Target and Starbucks run and maybe a little date at the Little Gym.
