One of the best fictional holidays to come around in a long time is Galentine’s Day, an occasion to celebrate the love between female friends that was introduced to the world via NBC show Parks and Recreation in 2010. On the episode, main character Leslie Knope took all her ladies out for a long lunch and declared February 13 ” Galentine’s . . . only the best day of the year.”

Ever since, more and more women have been taking the opportunity to honor each other on the eve of Valentine’s Day, and we here at Port Charlotte Florist are here for it.

While there’s no set way to celebrate G-Day, you’ll definitely want to add flowers to the mix. Gift your girls with fabulous bouquets personally selected by you, someone who knows their tastes and preferences like the back of her hand. We suggest avoiding the long-stemmed roses – those are for tomorrow. Instead, pick out something sweet, feminine and lighthearted like our A Little Pink Me Up.

Have this delivered to your bestie at the office and wait for the phone call that indicates she was the first person at work to get flowers that week, and that you’ve made her month. The rosy hues here are happy, girlish and communicate your love and affection perfectly. Galentine’s Day can mean having a long lunch, throwing a dinner party or making it a true girls night out, but it should always include gifts of flowers.
