About the day
Galentine's Day falls on 13 February. It comes from the NBC sitcom Parks and Recreation, in which Amy Poehler's character, Leslie Knope, declared the date a day of "ladies celebrating ladies".
It is now marked with brunches, gatherings and gifts between friends, and it sits next to Valentine's Day in the February calendar.
The day suits restaurants and bars, gift and card retailers, beauty and wellness brands, fashion retailers, experience providers and lifestyle media.
