The season of love is ahead, but that doesn't solely mean romance. Whether your friends are all coupled up or enjoying singledom, Valentine's Day — or Galentine's Day — is still a worthy holiday to celebrate personal connection, romanticize life, and generally look at moments with rose-colored glasses. Even if you're shopping a gift for him, gift your girls a chic headband adorned in pink, or perhaps a striking wine glass that pairs well with a refill of red and another bad first-date story. From cheery baubles to cozy must-haves for the dregs of winter, now's the time to gift the ladies who have been there through it all. Below, we've rounded up thirty of our favorites.
