Every year on Feb. 13, Leslie Knope (played by Amy Poehler in Parks and Recreations) celebrates Galentine’s Day. It’s the day when you spend with your girl friends, leaving your partners at home. It’s also the perfect time for singletons to celebrate without feeling the pressure that comes with seeing couples. “Ladies celebrating ladies,” as Leslie would say.

Galentine’s Day is a week away and if you’re celebrating it, it’s time you prepare some gifts for your amigas too. What? You think your significant others and family members are the only ones you’d show your love via gifts, too? Nope! So here’s a list for you for your shopping needs this week!

Author and illustrator Amalia Andrade made this book for people who are going through a broken heart and think it’s the end of the world. Give this one to someone who might need a lift-me-up from the emotional stress. Available at Fully Booked.
Paragon Boba Armored Case
Certified milk tea lovers are going to obsess over this phone case. The surface mimics the appearance of a boba drink in a glass.

Don’t let labels define you and your friends. When people say you are meek, you show them how capable and strong you are.

Plus, you’re supporting an indie artist when you buy this piece! It’s a cool gift, don’t you think? Available online.
