As soon as Christmas has finished, Valentine's Day erupts all over the place. My favorite tradition for this holiday isn't getting flowers or a card featuring some random poem, it's to celebrate my friends on Galentines. We get together, exchange thoughtful gifts, and generally laugh until tears run out of our eyes. We are all geeks so the gifts are not only super fun but also ones we would totally get for ourselves. If you're looking to start your own Galentines tradition then you're in the right place because I've made the gift part easy, all you have to do is pick the place you want to brunch. Here is our 2025 Galentines Gift Guide!

Galentines Gift Guide
For the Collector
Boxlunch is the perfect place to pick up something geeky and fun for your best friends. Whether they are into Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, Harry Potter, or Hello Kitty, you can find something they will love. From Loungefly to Funko, to clothing options perfect for that girls' trip to Disney or Universal, Boxlunch is a one stop shop. If you know me you know I love Loungefly backpacks – let's just say I have more than a few – so I immediately needed this Stitch and Angel bag because it's Stitch and Angel.
Another pick of mine was this varsity jacket (after my RunDisney collegiate themed marathon weekend I'm currently obsessed with this style) featuring Ghost Spider aka Gwen Stacy. The next Spider-Verse is coming out at some point in the future and besides you can rock this at Avengers Campus in the meantime.
Because you can never have too many collectibles on your shelves! This is the perfect go-to gift because you can either get your bestie a figure of something or someone they love or you can even make them their own personalized POP. POP Yourself is available on the Funko Website.
If you're looking for something Valentine's themed specific, they also have some fun red and pink-hued POPs as well as adorable “Bitty Pop! Bouquets” like this one featuring my favorite robot couple.
Or if your friends are into something a little more killer… look for POPs of characters from Killer Klowns From Outer-Space or Chucky and Tiffany.
For the Gamer
Taboo: Disney Edition: all the classic fun of Taboo but with Disney magic. This is a true challenge for any Disney adult because it is hard to describe some of these characters and places without using certain words! This had my friends and I laughing so hard, and yeah we failed a few times! But hey you try describing the Haunted Mansion without saying the word ghosts!
If you're looking for another great team-up game that also has the added excitement of chance, check out the Marvel X-Men Dice Throne Box 1 and the Marvel X-Men Dice Throne Box 2. This is a fighting game that meets dice-throwing, for some exciting fun. Each player gets their own set of unique cards and powers associated with their character. Roll the dice and see what kind of attack you can use against the other players. But be careful, they can alter your roll, negate your actions, or even block damage if they have the roll to do so.
The tension mounts as the game goes on until only one hero is left standing. Dice Throne is easy to pick up and start playing with options to go 1v1, 2v2 team battles, or all out mayhem where only the luckiest hero survives! This is a must add to the collection of any Marvel and board game enthusiast.
I wasn't sure how Nintendo would level up after Mario Party Superstars but they pulled it off with the incredible Super Mario Party Jamboree. It reminded me of the Nintendo 64 days but with improved mechanics and exciting new game boards to play with or against your friends. As an experienced gamer, I'm always looking for a challenge, and this Mario Party allows you to enable Pro Rules to reduce luck-based elements, forcing you to become more strategic in order to win. It also features character-specific challenges, minigames (both new and returning fan-favorites), as well as inventive games that will keep everyone entertained for hours upon hours of playtime.
Princess Peach: Showtime! is the game I wish I had as a kid. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed playing as Mario, Luigi, and even Yoshi (Yoshi's Island is iconic) but I always wanted something more for Peach than just floating through the air. Showtime not only gives Peach the spotlight but also lets her have something that is wholly unique. Aside from scratching an itch for gamers like myself, Showtime is a platformer the whole family can enjoy no matter their skill level. It's entertaining, lovingly detailed, and above all fun. Nintendo has certainly put on a great show with this one and I hope Peach gets another game like it soon.

If you haven't joined the Sarah J. Maas fan club yet, here is your invitation. Whether you start with Throne of Glass or A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR) you're going to get hooked on the worlds she creates. Yes Crescent City is also hers, but you shouldn't read that until you've gotten through the other 2 series.
Like Dragons? Of course you do. Then you need to pick up the Fourth Wing series (book 3 just released) and get ready to bond with dragons and fight to save your kingdom.
