It&#8217;s only the best day of the year.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014 Leslie Knope, 2010<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Ladies celebrating ladies! Galentine&#8217;s Day (February 13th, for those of you not in the know) is the single most important holiday of the year, at least according to Leslie Knope. Galentine&#8217;s Day is a day dedicated to showering our best friends with the love and appreciation they deserve. Inspired by the wonderful words of the queen of friendship (and waffles) herself, we&#8217;ve curated a list of homewares gifts that have been carefully selected. Selected how, you ask?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, by how she addresses her best friend Ann Perkins, I answer.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>For the Opalescent Tree Shark in your life<\/h2>\n<p>The Velvet Taupe Table Lamp is the perfect option for your bestie. She&#8217;s sleek, she&#8217;s powerful, and gracefully glides through life &#8211; lighting up everything she touches. Doesn&#8217;t she just scream Velvet Taupe Table Lamp? She does, right?<\/p>\n<p>This lamp has a rich, velvety glow that screams sophistication (just like your bestie), while providing just the right amount of mood lighting that&#8217;s just perfect for deep and meaningful late-night conversations over waffles and whipped cream.<\/p>\n<h2>For The Most Beautiful, Glowing sun Goddess, Ever<\/h2>\n<p>Your bestie doesn&#8217;t just light up a room &#8211; she is the light! Like the sun, but even better (because she always hypes you up and accepts you for who you are). Our Organic Round Mirror is the perfect Galentine&#8217;s Day gift for this radiant soul. It not only reflects her brilliance (literally) and beauty, it also adds warmth and elegance to her space. <\/p>\n<p>And as a bonus, it&#8217;s also perfect for capturing absolutely flawless mirror selfies. <\/p>\n<h2>For the Poetic, Noble, Land Mermaid<\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes in life, you&#8217;re just blessed with a friend who defies logic. A magical creature, part elegant land dweller, part mystical sea creature. If this describes your otherworldly brilliant bestie, then our Amour Table Lamp is her destiny! We love this lamp, especially the ceramic base adorned in raised red lips that add a quirky and fun touch to a room. It&#8217;s romantic, it&#8217;s whimsical,  and it&#8217;s perfect for your bestie! Every time she turns it on, she&#8217;ll be reminded that she is, in fact, a dream wrapped in fairy lights. Just perfect!<\/p>\n<p>Leslie Knope from <em>Parks and Recreation<\/em>, NBC\/Peacock<\/p>\n<p>Leslie Knope from <em>Parks and Recreation<\/em>, NBC\/Peacock<\/p>\n<h2>For the Beautiful Tropical Fish<\/h2>\n<p>Your bestie bright, bold, and brings joy everywhere she goes. She embodies what just may be Leslie Knope&#8217;s most passionate descriptor of Ann Perkins &#8211; a beautiful tropical fish. The Havana cushion is her perfect match, and let us tell you why. This beautiful floral style design is ideal for brightening up just about any space. <\/p>\n<p>Sound like your bestie? Yeah, thought so. This feather filled vibrant design is made for making movie marathons, midday naps, or scrapbooking sessions as cosy as can be. <\/p>\n<p>Remember, Galentine&#8217;s Day isn&#8217;t all about gifts &#8211; it&#8217;s about honouring the women in your life. Whether that&#8217;s with a funky cushion or lamp that you know they&#8217;d love, or a simple dinner date (at JJ&#8217;s Diner, with waffles, and whipped cream), make sure you show some love this February 13th!<\/p>\n<p>To conclude, let&#8217;s all take a moment to thank Leslie Knope.<\/p>\n<p>Galentine&#8217;s Day isn&#8217;t just a day &#8211; it&#8217;s a movement. It&#8217;s a reminder that our best friends are the family we choose, and they deserve to be celebrated accordingly. Whether your bestie is a beautiful, naive, sophisticated newborn baby, or a beautful, talented, brilliant, powerful musk ox, these gift ideas are a tangible way to show them even just a little bit of how much you appreciate them.<\/p>\n<p>Because they&#8217;re your best friend, and you love them forever.<\/p>\n<p>(Oh, and if these don&#8217;t work out, try waffles and a scavenger hunt!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Leslie Knope From Parks and Recreation, NBC\/Peacock What\u2019s Galentine\u2019s Day you ask?
