Share the love with your besties: Valentine's Day gifts for friends

Valentine's Day — it’s not just for romantic love, it’s also a day for celebrating your besties. Whether you’re proud to be living the single life or completely loved up, “Galentine's Day” on the 13th of February is the day to share the love with your pals.

Ready to find some unique Valentine’s Day gifts? Our personalised presents are budget-friendly, adorable, and will light up any Galentine’s night in (or out!) with a smile.

What is Galentine’s Day?

Galentine's Day’s claim to fame first came about as part of a 2010 TV show. The day has always been well received because it battles the societal idea that you're not as worthy if you’re not in a relationship. At MyFUJIFILM, we’re 100% behind any day of celebration that gives anyone the power to say, ‘You know what? I’m single and completely fine with that. I’ve got my gals’.

Naturally, the concept of Galentine’s Day has popped off ever since.

The best part? Friends of all genders can use February 13th as a special day of celebration where friendship is the only focus. Or, of course, you can stick with the 14th and swap out the lovey-dovey stuff for treating your mates.

What to gift your friends on Valentine’s Day

Cue the heart-shaped chocolate boxes, long-stemmed roses and cutesy teddy bears…. While these can make thoughtful gifts for a romantic partner, they’re not quite hitting the mark for Galentine’s gifts.

But that’s where personalised gifts come in — showing thoughtfulness, effort, and a real appreciation for the connections you have with your friends. With photo gifts, you can turn a simple present into something that really honours the memories and experiences you’ve shared together.

1. Mini Photo Books

You’ve got countless albums of group shots and candids on your phone, but where will they go if not on the grid?

Say hello to our Mini Photo Book. Crafted on high-quality FUJIFILM Original Photo Paper, our mini photo books come in various sizes, including 4"x4", 5"x5", and 6"x4".

With up to 80 pages waiting to be filled, there’s enough space to include all your favourite memories — including those moments you only got through thanks to your besties. With lay-flat Leporello binding, you can enjoy an uninterrupted view of your best pics together.

Don’t forget to personalise your mini photo book with a lustre or gloss finish, and select a cover photo, text, and colour that sums up your friendship group or duo.

2. Personalised Photo Magnets

Specially designed for reinventing your social media snaps, why not turn photos from the grid into a 4"x 4" Magnetic Photo Frame?

Pick out the photos of your best and favourite memories with your gal pals, customise your magnet(s), and then stick them to the Galentine host’s fridge before everyone arrives for a cute surprise. You can design each magnet individually for personalisation or use the same design for all.

It’s a fun, affordable, and fuss-free way to celebrate your friendships this Valentine’s Day.

3. Personalised Calendars

February is definitely not too late to start planning the year’s agenda, and our Personalised Photo Calendars come in four different types to suit your bestie’s favourite aesthetic.

Will you go all out with our Wooden Block Calendar for a rustic feel, the Slim Calendar for the bestie who’s already covered their wall in photos and art, or the A4 Calendar for the gal who needs all the organisation space she can get?

Pick 12 photos to showcase your year in review together — night out snaps, day trip memories, funny memes that still make you snort… Whatever makes your friendship uniquely yours deserves a place on the calendar.

You can also use your new calendars as a chance to book and plan future trips and events. What’s a better way to spend Galentine’s Day after all?

4. Poster Prints

A hilarious day out, an epic adventure, or even a stunning candid that shows off the joy of your friendship. No matter which memory you pick, you can transport your besties right back to the moment with a stunning Poster Print.

You can use our poster printing service to turn your best portraits, selfies, and group shots into art, with sizes reaching up to 40x30”. They’ll also be printed on the very best 260gsm Fujifilm Satin Inkjet Paper.

Will you go for landscape or portrait? You just can’t go wrong with a classic poster print — it's a bold, beautiful way to add a bit of appreciation and love to your celebration.

5. Personalised Water Bottles

If gym sessions and walks have become your favourite way to get time in with pals, our personalised water bottles are here to level up your debriefs. They’re a practical gift for every member of your friendship group. One for the workaholic, one for the gym devotee, and one for the one who forgets water is even a thing…

It’s time to match the bottle to the friend. We have a Personalised Stainless Steel Water Bottle with a screw-top lid for your favourite WFH pal, and an Adventure Water Bottle with a carry loop for the bestie who’s always on the go.

As an unexpected, slightly rogue, yet wholesome gift, our personalised water bottles are sure to crack a few smiles and giggles.
