February 13th, also known as Galentine’s Day, is an unofficial holiday that celebrates friendship. Despite its name, anyone can take part in Galentine's Day!  The day focuses on relationships outside of romance and is used to cherish platonic love. It's your opportunity to show how much your friends really mean to you. Of course, you can (and should) do this every day of the year, but it’s especially fun when there's a whole day set aside for it! With all this in mind, we’ve compiled a guide that’ll help you plan your special day of love! So, go grab your gals or pals to enjoy this holiday.  

Pick a book out for each other at Story Cellar 

We love a book date, especially when at a used bookstore!  

Get custom scents at Magnolia Soap  

Gift each other locally handcrafted soaps or customize each other’s laundry or shower products!  

Paint Pottery at Clay Corner 

Choose from mugs, plates, or even piggy banks to paint together. You can even play a game by rotating each piece between your party every five minutes so that everyone can be a part of the ceramic art you take home!  

Take a Pilates or Yoga class at SALT  

Whether you’re slow-paced and intentional, or going hard and intense, you’ll find a class that’ll leave you feeling more engaged and satisfied!
