MAKE IT CUTE

Need the *perf* last-minute gift for your big belated Galentine's bash this weekend? If you're not sure what to get your crew (and you're over cliché chocolate covered strawberries), then look no further.

Whether you're giving something sweet to your ride-or-die bestie or a new gal pal, we've got the ultimate gift guide that's sure to steal some hearts. 

For the friend with rose-tinted shades

Coin purse, $6, Blue Q | Customizable chocolate, $8, Tony's Chocolate | Heart gummies, $5, Sour Patch Kids | Shimmer sunscreen, $24, Supergoop | Solid perfume, $35, Glossier | Lip treatment, $16, Tower 28 | Marshmallow keychain, $28, Jellycat | Frog plushie, $10, Build-A-Bear | Heart shoes, $75, Converse | Mug, $5, Target

She has coral-colored walls, like a million blushes and is basically an IRL Barbie doll. Pink isn't just a color to her, it's a lifestyle. So when it comes down to getting her a gift, focus less on the *what* and more on the sweetest shade. The hard part is deciding between cotton candy or flamingo lip gloss.

For the cosmic queen

Galaxy projector, $100, Pococo | Lunch box, $34 BAGGU | Tarot necklace, $35, Louise Carter | Nail polish, $14, Holo Taco | Tumbler, $35, Popflex | Acne patches, $13, Starface | Socks, $12, Uncommon Goods | Ring dish, $16, Lucky Feather | Moon lamp, $16, Amazon | Mango lip balm, $7, Starface

If you're shopping for a friend who's always got her head in the stars, no need to look for a sweet treat in a galaxy far, far away. Just tell her you think she's pretty (inter)stellar and so astronomically kind that her gift just had to be otherworldly (sorry, we couldn't help ourselves!). Get her one of these presents and save the tarot deck for another day.

For the self-care superstar

Eye masks, $24, Grace & Stella | Socks, $18, Bombas | Positivity capsules, $16, Hugs and Joy | Weighted eye blanket, $34, nodpod | Gua sha, $13, Healing Crystals Company | Secret pocket scrunchie, $10, Popflex | Lip mask, $24, Laneige | Concealer, $35, Typology | Essential oil stick, $10, Jergens | Rom-com candle, $48, A24 | Yoga mat, $79, Popflex

This girl might as well be in the circus with how much she's juggling. She's always on the go and is in serious need of a nap. Help hit pause on all of the craziness in her life and instead give her a gift that reflects how much she needs to unwind and recharge (because let's be real—you know she's earned it).

For the young spirit

Figurine, $10, Smiski | Flower bouquet, $48, LEGO | Harry Styles tee, $30, Shoppee | Birds, $49, LEGO | Gummy clusters, $3, Nerds | Hungry Caterpillar scarf pattern, $2, Etsy | Heart bag, $35, Jellycat | Custom viewfinder, $28, MyPhotoSocks | Ravioli locket, $16, A Shop of Things

Growing up is never easy... but who said you had to? Don't dull her sparkle, and instead find something that lets her playful personality really shine. Time to let out the fangirl in you because this gift is gonna be for the boyband fanatics, LEGO lovers and major nostalgia enthusiasts.

For the less-is-more lover

Press-on nails, $10, Olive & June | Spoon rest, $10, Williams Sonoma | Monochrome bag, $52, BAGGU | Necklace, $100, Laura Lombardi | Ring, $108, Catbird NYC | Strawberry matcha, $25, David's Tea | Stess ball, $5, Bando | AirPods case, $30, Pela | Lip tint, $5, e.l.f. cosmetics  

Her motto: less clutter, more clarity. While that might not match your maximalist mindset, you can still find her something that's fun (yet simplistic) to spark joy. Think practical, chic and, most importantly, not too bulky. You're golden.
