Galentine’s Day Gift Ideas
Marble Home Decor
Agave is a woman-owned company that focuses on honoring Mexican tradition with contemporary designs. Founded by two life-long female friends from Mexico, these 100% hand-crafted marble items are true works of art! With every purchase, Agave gifts a school supply set to an indigenous child from the community that helps shape these products.
As part of my gift guide with HerStory, I’m including this luxury domino set made with natural marble and onyx. I think this makes such a unique gift! Also of note is this marble wine chiller that is hand carved from local artisans. Such a great Galentine’s Day gift idea for the minimalist lover of home decor.
Malibu Apothecary Scents
The Malibu Apothecary collection is inspired by all the places the founder, Claire Ellis, has lived or traveled. Based on the science of scent being the strongest trigger of memory, Claire’s collection of candles and fragrances to transport you all over the globe. Claire works with local tourism boards to ensure an authentic scent experience.
The travel inspired candles use clean-burning coconut wax and sustainably sourced essential oils. The scent is so strong and so good! Plus the fragrance rollerballs are great for travel and taking this experience with you! I have the scent Tulum and it is incredible! In addition, 20% of sales are donated directly to coastal conservation efforts.
Block Print Table Linens
Block printing is such a beautiful art and I’m happy to introduce you to the Mended company. I’ve always loved block print. There is a bit of nostalgia to this age-old art. Mended designs and creates block print linens for your table and home. Each piece is made with hand-block printing techniques by survivors of modern-day slavery in South Asia. Mended allows them economic stability and a safe and dignified work environment.
This beautiful table runner comes in 2 sizes and various designs. You can coordinate with dinner napkins, both made from 100% cotton. Linens make a very thoughtful gift. In addition, this wine bag is not only beautiful but practical as well!
What to Wear For Galentine’s Day
As part of my Galentine’s Day gift guide with HerStory, I’m featuring this gorgeous dress by Floraison. I absolutely love her story! These hand-made dresses are designed by Floraison founder, Kylie Smith and are meant to be an instant heirloom. Kylie came up with the idea of Floraison during her summer stay in a 12th century castle in Tuscany. A lover of antiques and fine details inspire this beautiful collection of dresses.
I’m wearing the iconic Elizabeth dress in green florals. This is the perfect outfit to wear for Galentine’s Day. It has old world charm with a modern appeal. Plus the square neckline and bow detail at the straps adds to the fun of the holiday! Dress this up with heels or wear your favorite ballet flats for an effortless look.
Shop all Floraison here. There is even a mini line!
I hope you enjoy this gift guide in collaboration with HerStory. Remember this as a place you can come to again and again to find unique and beautiful pieces to gift for the holidays or to treat yourself! Not only for Galentine’s day but this is a great resource for any gift giving occasions!
