Ways to Express Love to Your Friends: Valentine’s Day Edition

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, but let’s not forget, it’s not just for lovers – it’s for friends too!

I’ve got a handful of quick and easy ways to spread the love to your friends on Valentine’s Day that won’t require much effort but are meaningful and will positively impact your friends day. These gestures let your friends know you love them and have them in your thoughts.

P.S. Feel free to use these ideas throughout the year; it’s always a good idea to spark joy into your friends’ lives whenever possible.

Surprise them with a Venmo Notification

$5 bucks for their morning coffee or $20 for lunch. Keep it simple and sweet. No need to break the bank; the goal is to encourage them to take a moment for themselves and enjoy a special treat from you. If your friends are anything like mine, you’ll probably receive a cute selfie pic, voice memo, or video in return that will undoubtedly put a smile on your face.

Make Gal Pal Playlist

Pull together a fun playlist filled with all the classic favorites for your Gal Pals and shoot it over to them on V-day morning! It’s an unexpected surprise that’s bound to have them dancing, laughing, and reminiscing all day.

SNAIL MAIL:

Drop a cute card in the mail. Think about it, it’s always fun to receive something in the mail other than junk and bills. Take a few extra moments to write a thoughtful message to brighten their day. Also, think about throwing in a book mark for your book lover gal pal or maybe cheeky stickers to add a little trinket.

SEND A COMPLIMENT:


Shoot your friend a text with a heartfelt compliment. Even better, drop a voice memo for that personal touch!

“You’re simply the best!” 

“Your positive energy is contagious and always brighten my day.” 

“You’re stunning my friend.” 

“Your kindness and empathy make you such an amazing friend.” 

“I appreciate you, your kindness, strength.” 

“You’re a BOSS!” 

“I appreciate how you’re always there for me. No judgement zone.” 

“Bestie, I love you dearly.” 

Gal Pal Skip Day

Why not indulge in a well-planned day of mischief and play hooky from work with your Gal Pals? Coordinate this slightly crazy escapade in advance—pick a date that suits everyone, or opt for a weekend if the workday escape proves tricky. Choose a favorite winery, that offers yummy food and non-alcoholic options, or allows you to bring your own treats. Let it be a leisurely day for you and your gal pals to connect, share laughs, and bask in a well-deserved break from the daily grind!
