Galentine’s Day is a time to shower your girls with love! The unofficial holiday originated on the sitcom Parks & Recreation, and became a real-life way to celebrate your besties.

To make that search a little easier, we rounded up a list of excellent gift options that are a perfect way to celebrate the women you love (including yourself!).

The good news? You can present your girlfriends with gifts on — and after — Valentine’s Day, and Mother’s Day will be here before you know it.
