Thank You Amy Poehler!
Thanks to the fantastic show Parks and Recreation we have this wonderful holiday called
Galentines Day!
In the show nutty but lovable Leslie Knope ( Amy Poehler) invented a holiday to celebrate the girlfriends in her life. February 14th may be for romantic love but February 13th is a day for your gals. Gather the ladies cause its a day to celebrate.
It really should be celebrated nationally but I know for a fact fans of the show celebrate this special day all over.
I have 5 sisters and 5 nieces and some good friends that will be getting a gift from me.
I really wanted to plan a party but unfortunately its been crazy.
Last year, my first Galentines I simply put together some flower arrangements for my Gals but this year I wanted to do something extra special.
(Can you tell I'm single?)
For my very best friend I bought Amy Poehler's new book available on Amazon.
I'm still looking for my favorite sister
(shh don't tell the other ones I have a favorite)
And for my other older sisters and nieces
I'm going to do a gift basket.
Sparkling Grape Juice with Raspberries
Bubble bath or Bath Bombs
Balloons (you can't have a party without balloons)
Cookies
Chocolate
Candy
Flowers
and a handmade card.
In the words of Nick Offerman "If you love someone make them a card"
I haven't decided how I'm going to wrap it all or if I'm putting it in a basket.
I'll post pictures when they are ready in the mean time check out my Pinterest board t get ideas. Its not too late to have a party!
