How adorable do these look? Take a long flute and dip it in honey first to make the sprinkles stick to place.

Grab your favorite red fruits to make this. Strawberries and watermelon are both great options. Cut the watermelon into heart shapes and place both fruits on a wooden skewer.

Make sure to alternate between the two to make it look more appealing.

21. SERVE FLAVORED WATER

After being partied out, you’ll want to drink something refreshing and hydrating. That’s when flavored water comes in handy.

Cut up a bunch of different fruits like oranges, strawberries, watermelon, and grapefruit. Put these in the water and stir it around.

If there are any extra juices left from the fruits pour that in there as well to add more flavor.

22. GALE-N-WINES-DAY

Who needs men when you have your besties and wine? If you want to get lit or relax for a bit, provide alcoholic beverages.

If you’re trying to save some extra money, you can tell everyone to bring their own beverage. Put out some food and sweets and get ready to PAR-TAY!

23. LOUNGEWEAR AND MATCHING SLIPPERS

Have a relaxing Galentine’s Day in with your besties and wear loungewear and matching slippers. This is such a cute idea.
