Ladies, mark your calendars! Valentine’s Day may be on the horizon but Galentine’s Day 2025 falls on February 13th, and it’s time to celebrate your best friends with a day full of love, laughter and unforgettable memories.
Whether you’re single, in a relationship, or somewhere in between, this day is all about cherishing the incredible women in your life. Let’s explore some fun and fabulous Galentine’s Day ideas to make this year’s celebration your best one yet!
A Galentine’s Day brunch isn’t just an excuse to sip mimosas- it’s a chance to gather your girls, forget the daily grind and celebrate the VIPs in your life.
Think elegant table settings with floral centrepieces, pastel napkins, and some cheeky name cards that’ll have everyone laughing before the first bite. Pair the vibe with a playlist of feel-good anthems (hello, Lizzo) to set the tone.
Feeling the pressure of hosting? Keep it simple but memorable with a mix of homemade and store-bought treats. Croissants, smoked salmon, fruit platters and a diy pancake station never disappoint. Add a twist of fun with activities like a mini awards ceremony where everyone gets a quirky title, like ‘Queen of Gossip’ or ‘Best Outfit Planner’.

If you’re after something heartfelt and fun, why not craft your own gifts?
Personalising presents that capture each friend’s unique personality is one of the best Galentine’s Day ideas- and it won’t cost you a fortune.
From custom candles to personalised photo frames, the options are endless. If you’re short on time, easy-to-make spa kits like bath salts, face masks, and homemade scrubs can feel luxurious but are simple to put together. Bonus points for wrapping them in pretty, eco-friendly packaging that’s as stylish as your gift.
A movie marathon is a classic Galentine’s Day idea, but why not add a fun twist to make it stand out?
Skip the typical rom-com binge and mix things up with themed movie challenges or DIY interactive elements. For example, choose a series of films that fit a theme, like ‘90s classics’ or ‘girl-power films’, and turn it into a game. Create bingo cards with iconic movie moments- like the big kiss, dramatic speech, or awkward dance scene- and let the fun unfold as your group watches.
Add fun snacks like themed popcorn (think caramel or spicy nacho) and some cheeky cocktails or mocktails to keep the vibe lively.

What better way to bond than with a Bake-Off on Galentine’s Day?
Get the girls together, grab your ingredients, and let the baking (and snacking) begin! It’s the perfect mix of fun, food, and a bit of competition, and everyone will leave with something delicious to enjoy.
You can set a theme to spice things up, like ‘chocolate overload’ or ‘bakes inspired by your ex (a dessert that reminds you of a memorable breakup moment)’. Plus, if you’re short on time or skills, you can always opt for ready-made mixes or quick recipes, ensuring everyone can join in the fun without stress.

Celebrate Galentine’s Day with an adventurous activity that's packed with excitement and bonding moments. From scenic hikes and indoor rock climbing to zip-lining, kayaking, or go-karting, there’s an activity for every group. For something more relaxed, try paddleboarding, horseback riding, or even a hot air balloon ride for stunning views.
Stay safe by wearing appropriate gear, staying hydrated, and checking weather conditions in advance. Don’t forget to bring the essentials like sunscreen, snacks, and a first aid kit.
Galentine's Day is the perfect chance to celebrate your best pals, whether near or far. Think Zoom parties with cheeky games, virtual cooking classes, or even online movie marathons of your favourite rom-coms. With technology bridging the distance, you can still share laughter, love, and the odd glass of wine, all from the comfort of your own home.
Stuck on how to make a virtual celebration feel special? Send a Galentine’s day present to your friends before the event, like a quirky care package, personalised video message, or homemade treats delivered via courier. It’s these thoughtful touches that transform a screen call into something memorable.
Galentine’s Day is all about celebrating friendships, and what better way to do that than with a cocktail-making night? It’s fun, interactive, and, let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a cheeky cocktail or two? Whether you’re a pro behind the bar or someone who’s more accustomed to ordering at the pub, everyone can get involved.
You can set up a little DIY station with ingredients for classic cocktails like Cosmopolitans, Mojitos, or something more quirky like a Pimm’s Fizz. Add some colourful garnishes and fun straws for that extra sparkle. The real magic happens when your mates start showing off their mixology skills, all while enjoying good tunes and even better conversation.
Another Galentine’s Day idea that’s sure to excite? A fun-filled shopping spree with your best pals! Nothing beats the thrill of browsing through your favourite stores, trying on clothes, or finding quirky gifts that scream ‘this is so you!’ Plus, popping into local boutiques or markets gives you a chance to support small businesses while treating your friends to something special.
If you're opting for a virtual Galentine’s celebration, online shopping is a great way to still treat your friends to something special. You can shop for personalised gifts, beauty sets, or unique accessories that’ll make their day.
A cooking class is a brilliant way to spend Galentine's Day, offering both fun and a chance to learn something new. Whether you’re into Italian, Thai, or pastry-making, you’ll get hands-on experience in the kitchen, all while enjoying each other’s company. Plus, you’ll leave with new skills and recipes to try at home!
And if you can’t meet in person, virtual cooking classes are a fantastic alternative. Connect online with your friends, choose a theme, and cook together from your own kitchens.
Escape Room challenges are a fantastic Galentine’s Day idea for those who want more than just the usual night out. With the clock ticking and puzzles to solve, it’ll keep everyone on their toes, and you’ll leave with some cracking memories (and maybe a few inside jokes).
