Galentine’s Day
Any excuse for brunch (or champagne and cupcakes) with our soul sisters is welcome at Grit & Grace Studio, so we are thrilled to celebrate Galentine’s Day every year.
What’s Galentine’s Day? Galentine’s Day is a holiday where you gather your tribe and celebrate the bonds of sisterhood.
As Amy Poehler’s Parks and Recreation character Leslie, who officially created Galentine’s during an episode back in 2010, states, “Ladies celebrating ladies… it’s like Lilith Fair, minus the angst… plus frittatas.”
Fast-forward 10 years from that fateful episode and Galentine’s Day is more popular than ever, and we are here for it. Call your besties, your sisters, and your coworkers; it’s time for the most adorable Galentine’s ideas ever. From unforgettable festivities to heartfelt gifts, we’ve got you covered in our Galentine’s guide!

Galentine’s Day Cupcakes
Life is sweet; give your soul sisters a treat! Would it be Galentine’s Day without some delicious cupcakes?
We adore Sugar Bakeshop’s “small batch from scratch” approach and incredible flavors such as Vanilla Blueberry and Raspberry Lemon. Add a heart-shaped sparkler for a playful, delightful surprise!
Pop a bottle for the gals who have been with you through all the laughter and tears!

Galentine’s Decor
Welcome your loved ones like the royalty they are with a darling paper party banner. These simple, shimmering banners from My Mind’s Eye add a touch of whimsy to what’s sure to be the best girls’ night of the year - with no time-intensive clean up afterward!
Nothing says, “Happy Galentine’s Day!” like a bottle of bubbly or rose with her name on it. And with our stunning Gilded Oyster Wine Charms, you literally can put your bestie’s name on it: let our in-house calligraphers embellish your wine charm with her name, initials, sorority, college, or an inside joke.
Once the party is over, she can enjoy this heirloom memento as coastal decor, draped over a favorite vase, a doorknob, or mantle. $30
Fresh Flowers
We agree with Ralph Waldo Emerson, “The earth laughs in flowers.” Send your Galentine’s guests home with the echo of laughter in their ears, a smile in their hearts, and flowers for their home!
Salt + Stem is a Charleston-based mobile flower truck that regularly fills our studio with blooms, happiness, and light. They seasonally offer Everlasting Arrangements of dried flowers, so keep an eye out!
Bee My Galentine Decoupage Oyster Ring Dish
What better way to ask your gals to “bee” your Galentine than with our Bee Love Decoupage Oyster Jewelry Dish?! We handcraft each Decoupage Oyster Jewelry Dish with an ocean of love in our Charleston studio, and every one of our oyster products is a gift that gives back. We are proud to recycle 10 oyster shells from Charleston restaurants back to local oyster reef restoration projects for each oyster gift purchased.
Whether you’re celebrating sisterhood or saging that boy right out of your hair, we’re all about the healing and therapeutic properties of burning some sage.
