Our Favorite way to Celebrate Galentine’s Day!

For those of you who don’t know, Galentine’s Day is a day dedicated to you and your friends, so get the girls ready because on February 13th, it’s time to celebrate, and this is our favorite way!

Favorite Things Party

So what exactly is a Favorite Things Party? It’s pretty simple, and everyone will leave happy!

1. Start by setting a budget

The first thing that you and your friends need to do is set a budget. For small groups (2-5 people), we recommend a budget of $20-$30, for medium groups (5-10 people) we recommend $10 - $20, and for large groups (10+ people), we recommend everyone brings 3 gifts and you and your friends do a favorite things/white elephant gift swap!

2. Buy your favorite things!

Once you have the budget squared away, everyone goes out and buys one gift per guest attending. Meaning if 10 guests are going to show up, your guests will bring 10 gifts to the party.

3. Make a gift exchange plan

In a standard Favorite Things Party gift exchange, everyone will go around the room explaining what they brought and why it’s one of their favorite things, and then pass one present out to every guest! These rules can be changed however you'd like. Some make it into a game similar to a white elephant party, where everyone brings only 3 gifts, and they can be swapped and stolen among each other, have fun and make it your own! No matter how you decide to play, each guest should leave with the same amount of gifts as they came with.
