Galentine’s Day came early for Parks and Rec fans! Amy Poehler reunited with costar Aubrey Plaza on Saturday Night Live over the weekend. Fun fact: Poehler’s iconic character Leslie Knope invented Galentine’s Day back in 2010!

“It’s only the best day of the year,” Poehler said in season 2. “Every February 13th, my lady friends and I leave our husbands and our boyfriends at home, and we just come and kick it — breakfast-style. Ladies celebrating ladies.”

If Valentine’s Day is for the couples, then Galentine’s Day is for the girls! It’s the perfect opportunity to show your BFFs how much they mean to you. As another one of our favorite fictional females once said, “Maybe our girlfriends are our soulmates and guys are just people to have fun with” (Charlotte York from Sex and the City was wise beyond her years).

We came up with our top 15 gifts under $50 for your gal pals, including a few funny finds that will lighten the mood. Sticking to the pink and red color palette, we also tried to pick presents that incorporated hearts whenever possible. Cheers to sisterhood and shopping!
