1. At-Home Spa Night 

Self-care is a love language.

Nothing says "I adore you" like a night of relaxation with your besties. Transform your space into a five-star spa experience, complete with plush robes, scented candles, and rejuvenating beauty treatments.

✔️ A DIY facial bar with hydrating masks, jade rollers, and under-eye patches
✔️ Lash and brow care essentials (hello, MaxeyLash and MaxeyBrow)
✔️ Herbal teas or infused spa water (cucumber-mint, anyone?)

Upgrade: Create personalized self-care kits for each guest with skincare samples, silk scrunchies, and Maxey Cosmetics serums, because your besties deserve nothing but the best.

2. Chic Galentine’s Brunch 

Nothing says “I love you, bestie” like a mimosa tower.

What You’ll Need:

3. Movie Night with a Female-Led Flick 

All the snacks. All the feels.

A cozy night in with your best girls and a lineup of iconic female-led movies? Yes, please. Whether you’re into classic rom-coms or empowering dramas, this is the ultimate feel-good Galentine’s Day idea.

Get crafty with a hands-on activity like crafting your own signature scent or luxe candles! Not only will you walk away with something totally unique, but the process itself is a great bonding experience.

✔️ Perfume station with essential oils, mini atomizers, and dried flowers
✔️ Custom name tags for each scent (because branding matters)

Upgrade: Create personalized "Signature Scent" cards where each guest writes the notes used in their creation.

5. Wine & Charcuterie Night 

Because good wine + good cheese = the perfect Galentine’s combo.

If there was ever an excuse to break out the fancy cheese and curated wine pairings, this is it. Treat your besties to a boujee girls’ night filled with laughter, good food, and even better company.

Like Secret Santa, but make it pink and fabulous.

Surprise and delight your besties with a thoughtful gift exchange. Set a theme and budget, and let the magic happen.
