Happy {Early} Galentine’s Day!

To all the crafty ladies in the place, Happy Galentine’s Day!  If you aren’t a fan of the tv show Parks and Recreation you might be wondering what Galentine’s Day is.  It’s a holiday, created by fictional character Leslie Knope (played by Amy Poehler), that is celebrated on February 13 to celebrate your lady friends.  Or as Leslie says . . .

It’s basically like Valentine’s Day, but for those ladies in your life that you couldn’t do without!  

Like with most holidays, I like to celebrate by giving my gal pals a card and a little gift.  

​Below is some Galetine’s Day gift inspiration.

Host a craft night for all of your gal pals.  Better yet, rent out the Palette & Paper Studio so you can have plenty of table space for crafting.  Need an idea of what to create?  The P&P creative team has lots of ideas, so just drop Mare an email!

​Or invite them to join you at one of the upcoming Palette & Paper workshops.  We have a Pocket Letter Page mini workshop coming up next Wednesday and a “SweetheART” decorative trivet workshop on Sunday, 2/12. Details and registration here.

​Wrap up a little treat in a decorated mason jar.  You could fill the mason jar with candies or chocolate covered pretzels, bath salts (make your own, try this “pink” recipe), “mani-in-a-jar” and more.

​Drop by their work or home and give them a pretty bouquet of flowers.

Pick up a Tim Holtz’s mini clipboard (available in the shoppe) land print off a couple of printables that your gal-friend can decorate her workspace with.

Mail them a cute card!  A handmade one is even better!  We have some super adorable Valentine's Day paper in the Shoppe that would be perfect to use.
