Oh, it\u2019s only the best day of the year. If you were living under a rock in 2010 you can get caught up to speed by watching this episode of Parks and Rec<\/a>. And even if you already know what Galentine\u2019s Day is, you should watch it again anyway just for good measure.\n\nAs Leslie Knope said, \u201cIt\u2019s Lillith Fair, minus the angst. Plus frittatas.\u201d\n\nSo this February 13th, whether you\u2019re leaving the husbands and boyfriends behind to go brunching in-person\u2013 or keeping the germs at bay with a virtual celebration with your poetic noble land mermaids, Goodwill has your back to celebrate putting uteruses before duderuses.\n\nLet\u2019s talk flowers. Every Galentine knows the importance of DIY crafting to the whole brunch tablescape experience. So of course, Goodwill can help you find the perfect vases\u2013 and even books and magazines that you can create a lovely upcycled bouquet with\u2013one that\u2019s definitely worthy of your favorite beautiful sun-goddesses. Like this one!\n

Obviously, you\u2019ll need a decent chalice or two for your mimosas, which obviously can be reused later by all your Galentines as they sip and read their 5,000 word essays about how awesome they are. This lovely Goodwill find would be a perfect addition to your brunch table.\n

It may not be a mosaic portrait of each of them made from the crushed bottles of their favorite diet soda, but this little trophy found at Goodwill is a great way to personalize your Galentine\u2019s gift game. Can\u2019t find one that already has a nifty title on it? Buy a used trophy and create your own new placard for it. No rainbow-infused, space unicorn friend would have a dry eye receiving that Galentine\u2019s gift.\n

When you buy any of the gently used items at Goodwill, you\u2019re supporting neighbors who need it through job training programs that are provided by Goodwill\u2019s network of 154 organizations. That\u2019s more than 128,998 people in the U.S. and Canada!\n\nCelebrating never felt so good\u2013 or as sustainable\u2013 as it does when you get your Galentine\u2019s goodies at Goodwill.
