How to Have a Vegan Galentine’s Day

Posted by Calvin on February 07, 2025

February 13th is a time to hang with your gal pals. Significant others might come and go, but your friend group is there to stay—and celebrating compassionately is the best way to solidify your bond. 💞 Here are the top 15 activities to plan for a vegan Galentine’s Day.

Send Sweet Messages

Let your besties know how much they mean to you with these ultra-cute cards. The pictures of turtles, whales, fish, and bees, along with the best ways to help them, serve as adorable reminders to be sweet to animals. 

Do Crafts

Get artsy together by making creative crafts (using vegan materials, ofc). Here’s a great craft idea: Make a Valentine’s Day card urging Carden Circus to stop imprisoning Betty, the elephant, and send her to an accredited sanctuary. 🐘

Give Cruelty-Free Makeup

Makeup that isn’t made by companies that test on animals is the perf gift for a girl friend. You’ll show your love for both them and animals who would otherwise be locked in laboratories and used for painful tests. 

Make Treats

Galentine’s Day isn’t complete without treats. 😋 Make some easy vegan recipes together, like our rich Chocolate Covered Date Hearts or light and fluffy No-Bake Cookie ‘Cheesecake’ Cupcakes.

Serve Mocktails

Wash all this tasty food down with some vegan mocktails. Our Sparkling Cranberry Sour Mocktail, Vegan Hot Toddy Mocktail, and Peppermint Chocolate Mocktail will quench your thirst in the most satisfying way possible. 

Choose Vegan Chocolates

Chocolates are another classic Galentine’s gift, and choosing vegan chocolates will help save cows from having their lives destroyed for their milk. Check out our vegan chocolate blog for the most mouthwatering bars, chips, and assortments available.

Bring Vegan Candy

Stick with the sweet stuff by bringing vegan candy to the get-together. From Twizzlers to Cocomels, these animal-friendly options will be the hit of the day.

Pass Out Stickers

This gift for your gal pals will cost you exactly $0 (srsly). 😏 E-mail [email protected] to order free animal rights-themed stickers to share with friends.

Break Up With Dairy Together

If you and your friends still consume dairy, you’re in one of the most toxic relationships on the planet. Dairy r*pes cows, destroys the environment, and harms your health—thankfully, we have everything you need to turn dairy into that embarrassing ex. 

Have a Spa Day

Nothing’s more relaxing than an animal-friendly spa day. Use cruelty-free nail polishes, masks, moisturizers, and other products to reward yourself and animals. 

Watch Animal-Friendly Stuff

Set up an animal-friendly movie or nostalgic cartoon to fill the room with good vibes. Some of our faves include Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde, Okja, and The Powerpuff Girls. 🤩

Swap Clothes 

It’s always fun to share clothes with your friends—just make sure everything you trade is vegan. Wool-free sweaters, vegan leather jackets, and faux fur accessories help sheep, cows, foxes, and other animals avoid being slaughtered for their body parts. 

Bake 

Baking vegan cookies or brownies together is a W for everyone. It’s a great bonding activity, produces heavenly treats, and keeps your money away from industries that see animals as objects to be exploited.

Eat Vegan Cheese and Crackers

For a fancier feel, arrange a tray with vegan cheese and crackers. You can also add fruit, nuts, and vegan meat to make a lil charcuterie board. 

Go On a Road Trip

This one will take more planning, but traveling with friends is an unmatched experience. 🚗 Be sure to pack some vegan snacks for the drive.
