Everyone celebrates Valentine’s Day differently. Some may shower their significant other with chocolates, rose petals, and gifts; while some may choose more experiential gifts, like indulging in a decadent, romantic dinner at their favorite fancy restaurant or spending the day outdoors hiking and setting up a picnic. Others, though, may choose to celebrate the friends (also known as Galentine’s Day, thanks to Parks & Recreation) and family in their lives, including moms.
