As a single gal, it's meant a lot to me to be surrounded by friends on Valentine's Day in the past. A favorite Valentine's memory comes from my college years. Two of my best friends came over, we made lasagna, ate far too many chocolate chip cookies (is there such a thing as "too much" chocolate??), and watched the winter olympics together. It wasn't much and it wasn't glamorous, but it meant the most to me. In the years since then, my friends and I have always made it a priority to let each other know they are loved on Valentine's Day, especially if we can't all be together to celebrate Galentine's Day style.
One of my favorite ways to tell my friends I love them is through encouraging notes and gifts! Cardstore has these super cute "love coupon" printables. An entire sheet of free and fun coupons to use, with one that is customizable. I printed off several and made one to include in notes to several of my friends! Coffee dates, movie nights, outdoor adventures...all going to the friends who will appreciate them the most. :)

the first valentine's my husband & i had (when we were dating) was to a pottery place where we picked out a piece & painted it. it was super fun even though we are both not great painters!
Spending it with my bestie a few years ago in Cancun. :)
Valentine's day in Italy a few years ago was pretty dang sweet :)

A few years ago I hosted a Galentine's party - complete with cupcakes, punch and all things pink!!!
My best VDay memory is when my husband surprised me with roses everywhere in the house! :)
Well, 2 days before Valentine's Day 4 years ago Nate proposed. :-)
Meg! These are so cute! Horray for Galentine's day! I don't remember any Valentine's days, hah! I'm hoping that this one I get some dark chocolate sea salt caramels. Mmmmhhhhh
Love these!! so cute. My favorite Valentine's Day memory is from a couple of years ago when Lamar and I first got together. It was really sweet!
These are so cute!! My favorite Valentine's Day memory was 2 years ago when we were seniors in high school. I was gone on a basketball tournament so I left Caleb a scavenger hunt around our school with presents that he opened on the hour, every hour! Even though we were apart, it made everything seem better :)
That is so adorable! Thanks for sharing :)
Awwww. Cute. Jenna, I'm still so glad I got to meet you and Lamar. That was such a fun weekend. :)
Hahahah. If someone gives me chocolate on Valentine's day, they will have my heart forever. ;)
I'd say that's the best Valentine's ever!
Oh how cute!
I love that, Elisa! I'm not sure what my besties and I are doing this weekend, but I'm excited for Galentines time :)
A snowy Valentine's Day would be magical! And of course, girl! So glad to have you on the team this month! :)
Oh my. I'm slightly jealous ;)
Oh FUN! It would be really fun to plan a trip like that with my besties!
That is a fun date, Robyn! Love that.
I love how Valentine's Day can just be a great day to focus on the people important to us - whether they're friends or significant others. Even after getting married, my husband and I try not to get caught up in the hype and just find a quite way where we can invest in each other instead of shouting over a crowd. These coupons are such a fun idea!
When we tried to go to Chick-Fil-A to avoid the crowds but they were doing a huge Valentine's Day event! It was super adorable.
My favorite memory is making construction paper valentines day cards in 1st grade :) <3
My favorite Valentine's memory from childhood was going in to school and getting to give all my classmates valentine's. Also, one year my dad was out of town and mailed my brother and I a huge box of candy and little heart shaped toys and a movie. It was pretty great :)
I don't think that I really have a favorite-but I love spending time with my hubby
I was home schooled, but went to public school for kindergarten, and I still remember giving out Snow White themed Valentine's that year! :)
What a sweet thing for your dad to do! Love that.
Yes! I was obsessed with that. Haha.
I heart Chick-Fil-A
YES. I love that mindset!
Well, that is always a good thing to love ;)
