Surprise Your BFF with a Jewelry Gift this Galentine's Day

Galentine's Day is the fun and friendly excuse to celebrate you and your girls! It falls on February 13th and is the perfect opportunity to cherish the bonds of friendship among women, whether having a girl's night in or going out to a fancy dinner. Whatever your plans may be, spoiling your BFF with a thoughtful gift can be a wonderful addition to the day.

Of course, a unique and beautiful jewelry gift is just as fitting for Galentine's as it is for Valentine's. Like Vday, Galentine's is a celebration of relationships - but of the friendly kind rather than romantic. It was created by Leslie Knope (played by Amy Poehler), the fictional main character of the television show Parks and Recreation. Her Galentines get together premiered in an episode of the show’s 2010 season. The girlfriend-tribute-holiday quickly caught on off-screen, and women everywhere began celebrating. Thirteen years later, female besties are still honoring the fake holiday with brunch, cards, gifts, flowers, and all manner of festivities.

If you're opting for the gifting option, what better way than with a Galentine's jewelry item? It's like those BFF bracelets you traded as girls, only ten times better!

Lab Diamond Infinity Pendant

Best friends are forever! With this pendant, you can show her that sentiment instead of simply saying it. A diamond-encrusted infinity symbol is an ideal way to add glamor to any outfit without overdoing it. Delicate and chic, it's great for everything from casual wear to a girl's night out. Each time she clasps the dainty chain, she's sure to think of her bestie (for life).

How to Pick the Perfect Galentine's Jewelry

When surprising your friend with gorgeous Galentine's jewelry, be sure to keep these considerations in mind.

• Consider her personal style. Do you always see her wearing bold jewelry, or does she stick to minimalist pieces? Is she a colorful gal, or are traditional diamonds more her style? Think about the design, color, and type of jewelry she would like best to ensure you pick a piece she'll treasure (and wear) forever.
• Think about her jewelry preferences. Some of us swear by earrings to complete our outfits, while others wouldn't be caught without a necklace. Her fondness for jewelry can help guide you to the ideal piece that suits her lifestyle and taste.
• Don't forget her current jewelry collection. While you can't possibly know every item in her jewelry box, you would likely remember if she has an infinity necklace or a pair of amethyst studs. No matter how gorgeous the jewelry is, giving her something she already has in her jewelry box lessens the chance it will get worn and appreciated. Instead, use her current collection to guide your gem, design, and jewelry-type choices!

In the end, friendship is a gift from the heart, and your bestie is sure to adore anything you pick out with her in mind.

Get Ready for Galentine's!

In the words of Galentine's Day creator, Leslie, "We have to remember what's important in life: friends, waffles, and work. Or waffles, friends, work. But work has to come third." Though, we might swap out waffles for jewelry! However, you're celebrating the big day, taking some time to choose the ideal gift for your best friend is a sweet and thoughtful way to celebrate your special bond.
