For the Girls: 5 Custom Embroidered Galentine’s Gift Ideas
Happy February! Are you thinking about making a gift for your Galentine or Palentine?
Some people really hate this month’s biggest holiday, some people really adore it. No matter what, the focus is on romantic love even though there are so many kinds of love to celebrate. For example: friendship. Your chosen family. The people who always have your back. Lots of people have started to celebrate the beloved tradition of Galentine’s Day after the TV show Parks and Recreation introduced the idea.
If you want to make a special present for your special friend, we have some ideas for you to try:
1) Embroidered Top
Take your friend’s favorite top—or sweater or jeans or any other piece of clothing—and stitch something meaningful to your friendship on the front. We call this “wearing your art on your sleeve.” (PS This one-of-a-kind hand embroidered top is available on our Etsy shop! Link opens in new window.)
2) Embroidered Pillow

Streaming your favorite comfort watch with your bestie is my perfect idea of a hangout. Make sure you’re always by your friend’s side with a custom embroidered pillow for those days when you can’t be there in person.
3) Embroidered Scrunchy
