What is Galentine? 10 cool ideas for Galentine’s 2025

Wondering how to spend Galentine with your friends? Here are the top 10 Galentine’s Day ideas you don’t want to miss:

Gather your best friends for a night filled with laughter, good food, and endless memories. Set the mood with a beautifully decorated dinner table, completed with traditional red or pink flowers from Euroflorist – the perfect touch of elegance and fun. Roses, freesia, lilies, and carnations would look great as a dinner table decorations or gifts for your besties. Consider bouquets that combine these flowers, in the colours matching your Galentine’s Day party theme, for additional visual interest.

Get creative this Galentine’s Day and make it a celebration to remember! Gather your best friends for a fun-filled day of DIY activities like painting, making personalized perfumes, designing wreaths, or creating beautiful flower compositions. It’s the perfect way to bond, laugh, and unleash your inner artist.

Whether your idea of a fun time is racing around a go-kart track or gorging on wine and cheese, an experience day will give you a good go at it.

Since Galentine’s Day is in February, you can get an experience day that suits the colder season (something indoors) or plan further ahead for spring and summer. Popular experiences include horse riding, hiking, afternoon tea, luxury lunches, comedy shows, and glamping.

You and your Galentine could whisk yourselves away to Europe when prices dip and crowds thin out. Mediterranean cities serve up early sunshine and culture, while ski resorts still offer snowy adventures at better rates. Grab an apartment instead of splitting into hotel rooms, as it's cheaper and gives you a homely base for catching up.

Another top tip is choosing direct flights and easy transport links to spend less time sorting logistics and more time making memories together.

Turn Galentine’s Day into a glamorous affair with a professional-themed photoshoot with your best friends! Capture unforgettable moments while striking poses against a stunning flower-decorated backdrop. Whether you go for a chic, whimsical, or fun vibe, the flowers will tie it all together and make your pictures truly Instagram-worthy. Plus, you’ll walk away with beautiful photos that will be a cherished memory of your special day together.

Hit the shops, share brutally honest changing room opinions, and treat yourselves to something new. Nothing beats retail therapy with someone who tells you how it looks!

You could also combine this idea with a short break to Madrid, Paris, London, Prague, or any other top shopping destination.

Pile up the cushions, grab all your blankets, and line up those snacks for a movie night your teenage self would approve of.

Go full-on with a theme night, powering through Harry Potter films, binging some 90s classics, or tackling the Marvel timeline in order.

Keep the pizza delivery number handy, and throw on some face masks between films for that perfect mix of pampering and entertainment.

Light some scented candles, line up your face masks, and start the whirlpool on your foot spa for an evening of pure relaxation with your friends.

Make the most of it with nail painting, good music, and drinks. Let your hair down and order some food for a stress-free time.

Dust off your favourite board games and gather your closest friends for fun without any screens and social media.

Monopoly, Guess Who?, Scrabble, Jenga, and physical games like Twister are all on the cards. Grab snacks, pour drinks, and let the epic game battles begin.

If the weather's good outside, you could get some garden games, too (this is also an option if you want to move your celebrations back to spring).

Pitch a gourmet gathering spot in your dining or living room with a charcuterie spread of cheeses, cured meats, olives, chutney, and artisan crackers.

Make your celebration inclusive with alcoholic drinks, mocktails, and soft drinks for your designated drivers and teetotal mates.

Larger hampers work well for group celebrations, letting everyone share the treats. Stick to hampers featuring items with a good shelf life — wines, chocolates, and resealable snacks ensure nothing goes to waste. You can’t go wrong with prosecco, chocolates, and premium snacks packed into a delightful (and reusable) wicker basket.
