Can we all agree that Galentine's Day is way better than Valentine's Day? Galentine's Day is celebrated on February 13th and was created by Amy Pohler's character on Parks and Rec, Leslie Knope. Its sole purpose is to show your appreciation for your ladies and to have fun sans the pressure of Valentine's Day.
Enter Whole Foods, the perfect place to pick up a range of gifts for all of your girlfriends. There are SO many deals going on for V-day! I also found so many perfect gifts that I did not even know Whole Foods had.
Their main promotion is two dozen Whole Trade roses for $24.99. If you are an Amazon Prime member (which you really should be), they are only $19.99! You can give the whole two dozen to a super special lady, or split them up into some small jars for a few friends. Also, by buying these roses, you are promoting a great cause. The Whole Trade Guarantee is committed to ethical trade, working conditions, and the environment.
Another deal to get excited about is their sale on essential oils and accessories that go with the oils, including diffusers and humidifiers. You get 25% off a wide array of oil scents and diffusers. This is especially great for students because candles are not allowed in dorms (and your dorm probably does not smell great).
Last but not least... chocolate! There are so many deals on Whole Food's wall of fancy chocolate bars. For example: Chocolove bars are 2 for $4 (originally $2.99 each) and Endangered Species Chocolate bars are 2 for $5 (originally $3.19 each). Personally, chocolate is my favorite part of these holidays, so I was super excited to see the little sale signs hanging off of the chocolate wall.
