Galentine's Day

has she been your rock? how about a heart shaped stone for $5.95

Galentine's Day is February 13th and it's all about the girls! It's a chance to show those amazing strong women in your life that you appreciate them. Leslie Knope, from the old show Parks & Recreation, created this unofficial holiday back in 2010. While the 14th will forever and ever be about your significant other, February 13th is about cheering on your sheroes, your BFFs, your "one phone call", your alibi, your ride or dies. Show them a little love.
