The skies may be gray right now, but before you know it, beach weather will be here. This set from local beauty brand French Girl Organics is a beach bag essential for the perfect summer glow. Lumière Rose Dorée gives skin a subtle gold glow while the Rose Sea Spray helps define hair with soft, beachy waves.

Boma Jewelry Isla Necklace

This is one of my FAVORITE necklaces from Boma Jewelry because it’s versatile enough to wear every day and looks great with everything in my closet. Ethically made from sustainably sourced materials, this gorgeous necklace features a white topaz center stone and is available in sterling silver or gold.

Peak and Valley Nurture My Skin

If your girl tribe is anything like mine, you spend a lot of time talking about health and wellness. It’s not just about eating healthy food (although that’s important too); it’s about integrating self-care practices into your everyday life. I love the full line of Peak and Valley supplements by local boss babe Nadine Joseph. They’re formulated with adaptogens like reishi mushroom to help support immune functions, brain health, and skin tone. The “Nurture My Skin” blend is a must-have for beauty mavens.

Moonlit Skincare Face Mask

The silk face masks by Moonlit Skincare have quickly become my absolute favorite. I’ve literally purchased every available color and keep them in all of the handbags I own so that I’m never without my favorite mask. I initially purchased these masks to help with mask acne, but I also love the fact that they are comfortable, breathable, and easy to adjust. The blush pink is perfect for Galentine’s Day gifting! (Note: Moonlit Skincare is no longer based in Seattle, but I’m including them anyway because I adore the founders and love the product line!)

Pipe and Row Slippers

If cozy slippers aren’t part of your WFH wardrobe, you’re doing it all wrong. Galentine’s Day is the PERFECT excuse to gift your gal pals colorful slippers. Seattle boutique Pipe and Row has these slippers in stock in eight different colors, including pink and red.

BKind Nail Polish

Cura Co. has a variety of vegan nail polishes from BKIND that are perfect for Galentine’s Day gifting! The polish is easy to apply, dries quickly, and has a long-lasting finish. BKIND is a female-founded brand focused on high-quality, natural beauty products. The polish is available in a variety of colors, including pink, red, gray, dark blue, and black.

Yuan Spa Services

Due to current COVID-19 restrictions, you can’t have a group spa day with your girlfriends, but you CAN give the gift of a spa treatment at Yuan Spa. Hot stone massages, Microcurrent facials, and ASMR Tranquility Therapy all make great gifts for Galentine’s Day.

Boundless Creatives 2021 Journal

Boundless Creatives

Give the gift of more clarity with a Boundless Creatives 2021 Intentions Journal. Your girlfriends will finally have a dedicated place to invest in themselves by writing down monthly intentions in a safe, sacred space. The journal includes space to write out a word of the year, jot down monthly intentions, manifest on New Moon energy, and more.

Jujubeet Valentine’s Day Gift Basket

Jujubeet has put together an amazing gift basket including Jujubeet’s Dark Chocolate Chickpea Truffles, the Daily Om and Ashwaghanda Drink, a single serving of Jujubeet’s famous Raw Raspberry Torte, Dairy-Free Chocolate Covered Strawberries, Daily Ritual Apothecary Love Potion Bath Soak, Sprout Living Protein Powder, a beautiful Bois de Rose Candle, and a Jujubeet Farmer’s Market tote bag.

If you love going on long, leisurely runs with your girlfriends, give the gift that keeps on giving with a pair of shoes from Brooks Running. They recently released the Launch 8, which features a breathable mesh upper, lightweight cushioning, and blown rubber in the forefoot for speed. Available in a variety of colors, but I prefer the primrose pink.

This Matters Jewelry Collection

For friends who want to make the world a better place, give the gift of jewelry that gives back. Cura Co. recently released a new collection in partnership with Boma Jewelry called This Matters, a limited-edition collaborative jewelry collection designed to fund organizations working on the ground in pursuit of racial justice and redistribution of wealth. 100% of the profit from this collection will support the Black College Matters campaign by Save Your VI, a non-profit organization dedicated to advocacy for Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Speaking of friends who want to make the world a better place, my sweet friend Brandy Brown of Marabou Design has partnered with Trophy Cupcakes on a special tote bag that is perfect for Galentine’s Day gifting. Sales from the Pro-Cupcake/Anti-Racist organic tote bag will benefit Seattle King County NAACP.
