Galentine’s Day Flowers

Anyone can be a Galentine regardless of gender. The term primarily celebrates platonic friendships. Friends can ask, "Will you be my Galentine?" The key requirement is a non-romantic relationship — so male, female, and nonbinary friends are all welcome to participate in this celebration of friendship.

Getting into the Galentine spirit starts with a simple conversation. Mention the day to your friends, share its quirky origin from Parks and Recreation, and gauge their interest.

Most people haven't heard of it, so you'll spark curiosity about this unofficial celebration of friendship (but trust us, it’s worth everyone’s time!).

Gifts like flowers are a welcome gesture, but they aren’t necessary. Galentine's Day is more about spending quality time together. Giving a heartfelt card, sharing an experience, or even setting aside time to catch up means just as much.

There are no rules for planning the big day. You could surprise your recipient or book a trip well in advance and tell them all about it. Some friends meet the weekend before, while others spread celebrations throughout February when schedules align.
