Celebrating Valentine's Day is something that brings about a lot of mixed feelings. It's a bit like marmite, you either love it or hate it. Personally for me, even when I was single it never bothered me to see others celebrating it. I think one of the reasons it didn't bother me was because I was never truly 'on my own'. There would always be a few of my friends that were in the same boat, so it didn't really matter to me. And fortunately, times have changed and many people now see Valentine's Day as a reason to show those you love, just how much you love them - and not necessarily in a romantic way. And this leads me nicely on to 'Galentine's Day'.
Single or not, I've always thought the idea of having a Galentine's Day was so cute! Forget about your relationship status, and show your gals how much you love and appreciate them! Plan a nice day out for you all, go out for drinks, exchange gifts, have a sleepover - whatever the case, you can turn Valentine's Day into a day that means something to YOU. For me, any excuse to buy someone a little gift and make their day is worth it to me. And that's the best part, it doesn't have to be anything super extravagant, or expensive - it's the thought behind it that counts.
Baylis & Harding have hit the nail right on the head with their Valentine's Day gifts this year. They're still all cutesy and pink as you expect valentines gifts to be, but they're also SOOOO affordable. Which is why I think they'd make such lovely gifts for your gals to have the ultimate pamper day, come February the 14th!
Pink Fizz & Elderflower Hand Wash £2
One of my favourite things to do at Christmas, or for Birthdays is to make a personalised little hamper, and there's no reason you can't do that for Valentine's Day! Make a list of your besties favourite things, and wrap them all up to make them look extra fancy, and put them all in a little picnic basket, or decorated box. This is a great way to make gift giving a lot more personal and thoughtful. One thing I would definitely add into a Galentine's hamper would be the Pink Fizz & Elderflower Hand Wash which is an absolute bargain at only £2! It's pretty and pink, and has a gorgeous scent that your gals are going to fall in love with!
Pink Fizz & Elderflower Bath Bubbles £7
Is there anything better than a having a long soak in a lush bubble bath? To me, this is the perfect way to end any night, and the perfect way to end a girls day out! The Pink Fizz & Elderflower Bath Bubbles are the perfect addition to making that ultimate relaxing bubble bath. The notes of Elderflower will leave your bath so girly and fresh! Add this to your bath water, light some candles, and pour yourself a glass of wine, and you've got the ultimate cosy night in! Aaaand, it even comes in a gorgeous little gift bag style packaging, so it's all ready to go to your bestie!
Pink Fizz & Elderflower Pamper Gift Set £20
If you're looking to really spoil your girls, then the Pink Fizz & Elderflower Pamper Gift Set is the obvious choice! At £20 this set is amazing value for money, whilst still looking sophisticated with the Moroccan print design packaging. You get a fab array of body products in this set including a Body Polisher, a Shower Creme, a Hand & Body Lotion, a Body wash, AND a cute bar of Soap. You're totally spoilt for choice!
All of the products have that same gorgeous Pink Fizz & Elderflower scent so are fresh, fun and will leave you smelling squeaky clean! My favourite has to be the Shower Creme. It's perfect for these colder months when your skin needs something a little more hydrating to use in the shower. And when the water hits in, the scent it gives off is soooo dreamy!
How would you spend the perfect 'Galentine's Day'?
