Celebrate Galentine’s Day in Malaysia 2023

Galentine’s Day: The Best Day To Celebrate With Your Girlfriends

Galentine's Day, which falls on February 13th, ties in perfectly with February's theme of love. On February 14th, we're excited to shower our significant others with presents and yummy sweet treats, but the day before was created to honour other equally crucial relationships in our lives: the girlies! Galentine's Day is a time to get together with the women you cherish most in your life.

This special day was first introduced by Leslie Knope, the fictional antagonist of the popular American sitcom,Parks and Recreation. It featured an episode in the second season that centred on Leslie’s favourite day in February. With close friends and coworkers, Leslie celebrated the joy of female friendship over waffles and extravagant gift-giving over brunch. 

While Galentine’s Day is technically an unofficial day in the month, the American sitcom made it so popular that it is now widely celebrated around the world. Happy hours, discounts and promotions have become popular ways to acknowledge the special day. In many ways, this helps fill the gap of not celebrating Valentine’s Day for the singles out there. Even if you are celebrating Valentine’s Day this year, it’s time to honour you and your girlfriends by celebrating Galentine’s Day!
