A Galentine’s Gift Guide

I love that we’ve embraced Galentine’s Day—a celebration that expands Valentine’s Day beyond romance. Looking back, it was my mom, my best friend, who always made me feel special with a small Valentine’s gift, and my dad, the first man I ever loved, who never fails to send a card. My grandmother (the one who taught me to make madeleines) and grandfather always decorated their home for Valentine’s just because.

For me, this holiday has always been less about grand gestures and more about thoughtful ones—the kind that say I see you. Whether that’s for a partner, a dear friend, a favorite hostess, your daughter or niece, in-laws, or even yourself.

This time of year feels like an invitation to find joy in the small things, embrace the “just because” spirit, and choose gifts that feel meaningful, beautiful, and personal.

Curating gift guides is one of my favorite ways to celebrate because it allows me to spotlight what I care about most: small businesses, women-owned brands, and companies built with real integrity.

Some links may earn me a small commission if you choose to purchase (which I’m always grateful for). Others feature artists and businesses I simply admire and love supporting—no payment, just genuine appreciation, marked with an *.

Every piece here was chosen thoughtfully, with heart, and with the hope that it brings a little beauty and joy into your home and life.
