Galentines : Celebrate the women in your life

What is Galentine's Day, you ask? Well, it's a day to celebrate female friendship and show your appreciation for the amazing women in your life. Whether they are your sisters, mothers, daughters, friends, co-workers, or mentors, they deserve to be pampered and spoiled with some of our fabulous gift boxes!

Galentine's Day is celebrated on February 13, the day before Valentine's Day. It was popularized by the TV show Parks and Recreation, where the main character Leslie Knope organizes a yearly brunch for her gal pals and showers them with gifts and compliments.

But the idea of celebrating female friendship is not new. In fact, it has a long and rich history that dates back to ancient times. For example, in ancient Rome, there was a festival called Matronalia, which honored Juno, the goddess of women and marriage, and was celebrated by women exchanging gifts and offering sacrifices.

In the Middle Ages, there was a tradition of female guilds, which were associations of women who shared a common occupation or interest. These guilds provided women with social support, economic opportunities, and education. They also celebrated their bonds with feasts and ceremonies.

In the modern era, there have been many movements and organisations that have promoted women's rights, empowerment, and solidarity. Some examples are the suffragettes, the feminists, the Women's Liberation Movement, and the #MeToo Movement. These movements have also inspired many forms of artistic expression, such as literature, music, and film, that celebrate female friendship and sisterhood.

So, as you can see, Galentine's Day is not just a trendy holiday, but a meaningful one that honours a long tradition of women supporting women. And what better way to celebrate it than with our special gift boxes?
