As much as I love Valentine's Day, Galentine's Day is actually my favorite February holiday! There's nothing I adore more than getting together with my girlfriends and celebrating each other with drinks and games — and gifts — galore. This year, the bestie basket is the best (and easiest) way to show your girls how much you care about them! These adorable gifts are super easy to make — you just have to pick a cute basket, fill it with your BFF's favorite things, and voila! You've got a perfect, thoughtful, last-minute gift!
Don't know what you need to get started? I've got you covered!
Target
Obviously the first piece you need for your bestie basket is an actual basket. This pink rope basket from Target is cute, big enough to hold plenty of goodies, and is only $6!
Target
But if you're looking for something a little more cutesy — and a little smaller — this heart basket will do the trick, too! Plus, the handle makes your gift way easier to transport to your BFF.
Target
You can totally just put your gifts right into the basket, but a little tissue paper adds an extra zhuzh to your gift as well! And look at how pretty this heart paper is!
Target
Whether your bestie is a coffee addict á la Lorelai Gilmore, loves a hot cuppa tea, or can't resist a decadent hot chocolate, a cute mug is a must-have in your basket. I love, love, love the pink and red stripes on this one!
Target
However, if your BFF is more of an iced-coffee kinda gal, she may be more into this sweet little heart-shaped tumbler!
Target
It's no secret the gals are into Stanley cups — so why not grab some pink and red straws to make everyone's favorite hand accessory even cuter?
Target
This little pink pouch is another perfect addition to your emotional support water bottle, too! You can toss your phone, credit cards, lip balm, or whatever else you need on your hot girl errands in here!
Target
Cozy socks are a definitely must in your bestie basket! These are super on-theme — and super soft!
Target
I seriously love LOOPS masks! Grab this for your girlfriends, and maybe even throw 'em on while you grab some wine and gab during your Galentine's Day celebration!
Target
Winter is doing a number on everyone's skin right now, so a body scrub is a nice little luxury to gift your girlfriends right now. Revive your skin — and smell good doing it!
Target
A little nail care is a total hallmark of a good girls night! Grab this sweet shade of red for the perfect at-home mani for you bestie!
Target
Are people over bows? IDK, but I'm sure not. These are coquette and cute and so going in your bestie baskets this year!
Target
Bestie baskets absolutely need candy — it's a non-negotiable. Nerds gummy clusters are super viral right now, and for good reason! They're chewy, crunchy, and totally delicious.
Target
If your friends aren't into gummy candy, classic Dove dark chocolate hearts are a solid way to go as well!
Target
And if dark chocolate is too bitter, then these sweet little milk chocolate truffles are also amazing!

These days, there’s two very likely outcomes you’re facing when you pull up to your go-to grocery store: the egg section is either completely empty or the options for eggs are severely limited. The options that are available will unfortunately cost you an arm and a leg – I saw dozens going for a whopping $10 at Whole Foods this week, but it’s apparently “not unheard of” for a dozen eggs to run as high as $12.
tf is this shit at my grocery store? egg shortage? for real? pic.twitter.com/2Jri48UQv7

There’s a massive shortage of eggs because of avian influenza – AKA bird flu. It wiped out roughly 10% of commercial poultry in the last three months alone, contributing to a notable loss in egg production and sales. Bird flu first appeared in January 2022 and has since affected 136 million birds.

Eggs are so expensive right now because bird flu has significantly and suddenly decreased the supply of eggs, which is not large enough to meet the needs of consumers. Grocers are now paying around $7 for a dozen eggs, and for the sake of profiting, have adjusted their egg prices to be higher.
General inflation has also contributed to higher prices for eggs. Per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average price per dozen of Grade A eggs in December 2023 was $2.51. In December 2024 it was $3.65, noting a 45% increase over the previous year.

Bird flu cases continue to rise, so it’s not very likely that egg prices will go down any time soon. In fact, it’s more likely they’ll continue to get more expensive. Because of this, you may continue to see no eggs or a limited supply of them at the grocery store.
Many stores have also begun to enforce limits on their eggs to one carton per customer per trip.
Mart Production / PEXELS
Nothing can really replace a good ol’ egg, but there are several alternatives you can test out for yourself to fill in the gaps if you can’t get your hands on a dozen. For baking projects like cookies and cakes, flax eggs – made with ground flaxseed and water – or applesauce are common substitutes that result in a similar, egg-like texture. If you’re craving a traditional scrambled egg, you may give tofu scramble or vegan egg alternatives like Just Egg a go.

There are some differences when it comes to fans of Taylor Sheridan's TV shows. Some of us are anticipating 1923 season 2 and The Madison, others are mourning the fact 1883 only got a single season — or that Yellowstone actually came to a close. (Be honest, did you roast Taylor for casting Bella Hadid as his girlfriend?). No matter what camp you're in, I rounded up all of Taylor Sheridan's best TV shows in one place so you can see which title you wanna binge watch next.
Emerson Miller/Paramount+
Before the Duttons were in Montana, they started off in Texas. And this Yellowstone prequel follows John Dutton's ancestors, led by James and Margaret, as they make their way across the West.
1883 stars Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Sam Elliott, Isabel May, LaMonica Garrett, Marc Rissmann, Audie Rick, Eric Nelsen, and James Landry Hébert.

Jump 40 years and you'll find yourself in 1923, which follows James' son Spencer in a race to get back to the ranch, where his aunt and uncle, Jacob and Cara, are fighting to protect it. And season 2 drops on February 23!
1923 stars Julia Schlaepfer, Harrison Ford, Helen Mirren, Brandon Sklenar, Michelle Randolph, Darren Mann, Jerome Flynn, Aminah Nieves, and Isabel May.
Paramount
Now, of course, I couldn't talk about Taylor Sheridan's TV shows without talking about Yellowstone. This hit series follows sixth-generation rancher John Dutton as he fights to protect his home — both figuratively and literally.
Yellowstone stars Kevin Costner, Luke Grimes, Kelly Reilly, Wes Bentley, Cole Hauser, Kelsey Asbille, and Gil Birmingham.
Emerson Miller/Paramount+
Lawmen: Bass Reeves tells the story of Bass Reeves (yes, the Bass from the title), one of America's first Black deputy marshals west of the Mississippi river.
Lawmen: Bass Reeves stars David Oyelowo, Barry Pepper, Demi Singleton, Dennis Quaid, Donald Sutherland, Forrest Goodluck, and Lauren E. Banks.
Paramount
Okay I wasn't expecting to add a reality TV show to this list, but if you're more into real-life stories, this is for you! The Last Cowboy follows real-life riders competing for a $1 million prize.
The Last Cowboy stars Ginger Schmersal, Dan Nachtrab, Craig Schmersal, Andrea Fappani, and Cade McCutcheon.
Dennis P. Mong Jr./Paramount+
This Taylor Sheridan TV show revolves around another family, the McLusky's, who serve as the middleman between criminals and the police. TLDR; this isn't your average approach to justice.
Mayor of Kingstown stars Jeremy Renner, Dianne Wiest, Hugh Dillon, Tobi Bamtefa, Taylor Handley, Emma Laird, and Kyle Chandler.
Emerson Miller/Paramount+
We're going back to Texas for Landman, which follows crisis executive Tommy Norris, who's working to secure his company's spot in the booming oil business. Once you finish the show, read up on everything you missed about THAT finale.
Landman stars Billy Bob Thornton, Ali Larter, Michelle Randolph, Jacob Lofland, Kayla Wallace, James Jordan, Mark Collie, Paulina Chávez, Demi Moore, Jon Hamm, Andy Garcia, and Michael Peña.
Ryan Green/Paramount+
As Joe tries to balance her personal life with her role in the CIA's war on terror, she's joined on the field by Cruz for a new deep-cover assignment.
