6. Paint Pottery for Valentine’s Day

There’s just something about hand-painted pottery that is always so memorable and nostalgic. Plus, you can do it all from your own home. 

All you need is:

How to Make and Bake the Mugs:

  • Paint your ceramic mugs however you would like.
  • Place the freshly painted mugs in the cold oven. Turn the oven onto 360°F and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Once the time is up, turn off the oven, leave the mugs inside and let the oven cool completely.

7. Galentine’s Gift Exchange (Secret Galentine)

Another fun Galentine’s activity to do with your friends is to plan a gift exchange. After you eat dinner and some Valentine’s treats, gather in your living room and exchange gifts to one another.

Pro tip: You can do this like a Secret Santa, but instead call it Secret Valentine. Before the Galentine party, have your friends randomly choose a name of another friend to shop for.
