Picture this: Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and you want to get your special someone (bestie, S.O., teammate, etc.) a few of their fave items. Stuck on where to start? A custom-made gift basket with their go-to snacks and self-care goodies can make them feel super special on a day that’s allll about love. It’s personalized, adorable and the ultimate gesture to show them that you care.
The Basket
Start by picking a basket that fits all the treats you picked out (think: wicker baskets, a thrifted storage container, a stylish ceramic mug or a cute tote bag).
The Treats
While you can’t go wrong with a classic box of chocolate for Valentine’s Day, spice things up by scouting your bae’s favorite candy, snack or drink inside your basket. It’s guaranteed keep their heart (and stomach) happy on a day where they need an extra pick-me-up.
The Stuffed Animal
With the temps reaching sub-zero, it never hurts to have an extra snuggly friend by your side. Choose a plushie that matches their vibe, whether it be a classic teddy bear, a cute bunny or a plushie they’ve had their eye on. (We’re looking at you, Valentine’s Day-themed Jellycats.)
The Self-Care Products
Who doesn’t love a little R&R? Even the simplest skincare products can transform an ordinary Sunday evening into an at-home spa sesh. You can even opt to grab self-care items you can do together—whether it be matching face masks for you and your boo or a fresh bottle of nail polish for your next squad sleepover.
The Flowers
We’re here to confirm—flowers aren’t just for crushes. Surprise your bestie with a bouquet of her favorite flowers and wrap a ribbon around the base for an extra-special touch. Opt to purchase a vase (or thrift one!) for the perfect addition to her bedroom.
The Jewelry
Surprise your Galentine with a few pieces of jewelry, like a dainty necklace with their initials on it or matching friendship bracelets that’ll carry your love everywhere they go. Or, for your S.O., opt for matching rings, bracelets or go full-out with a custom engraving. It’s simple, thoughtful and something they’ll cherish forever.
