Valentine’s Day is probably one of the most controversial days in the calendar.

For some, it’s all about the classics: red roses, heart-shaped chocolates, out for dinner and ott gifts, or it can just a nod to the celebration with a cute card.

But for some it's an unwelcome reminder of their not-so-recent breakup.

If you fall into the latter category, then the day prior to 14 February is the one you need to celebrate instead.

Galentine’s Day, made famous by Leslie Knope from the US sitcom Parks and Recreation, falls on 13 February and has become a dedicated alternative to Valentine’s Day for anyone who doesn’t want to celebrate the commercial day of love.

For any men feeling left out, of course it’s also called Palentine’s Day too.

To help you make the most of it with friends without breaking the bank, we’ve collected some of our best discount codes across beauty, fashion, and holidays.

Lookfantastic

Whether it's for your best friend or just a treat for yourself, sometimes the best gift that you can give is some selfcare time.

This British beauty brand embodies the idea of all things fabulous, while embracing your beauty from the inside out. New customers can save 21 per cent off their orders today using a discount code.

This year, spend Galentine’s Day watching your favourite Rom-Coms and applying face masks from top skincare brands such as Origins, Caudalie and GLAMGLOW. Expires 16 February.

Goldsmiths

Diamonds are supposedly a girl's best friend, but let’s face it, not your wallets. If you can’t shell out something sparkly but still want to treat your best friend (or yourself) to let them know how much they mean to you, head to Goldsmiths armed with an exclusive 12 per cent discount code for jewellery and watches. Expires 1 March.

Omio

Memories certainly last a lot longer than a box of chocolates, so plan a girls weekend away, and make the most of discounted buses, trains and flights with Omio.

Enjoy 6 per cent off city breaks around the country or extended trips throughout Europe for less, where you can spend the extra savings on a celebratory dinner or spa treatment. Expires 16 February.

HQhair

The online beauty store has a great range of the best and most sought after brands in hair care, fragrance, make-up, tools and accessories and skincare from ghd to St Tropez for you to treat yourself and your friends to.

Head over to HQhair to grab £10 off orders over £45 with our exclusive HQhair discount code. Expires 31 March.

Gousto

We all know – and love – the stirring rendition of Bridget Jones’s ”All By Myself” when she’s, well, all by herself.

Instead of following suit, invite your pals over to cook an excellent meal together (no blue soup here, Bridge) from scratch with a Gousto box using an exclusive Gousto voucher for 60 per cent off your first box.

There’s a big range of recipes to choose from to suit even the fussiest of eaters (we all have that one friend).

Our vouchers are typically active for a limited time only and will not last forever. If you find that the discount code you’re looking for is no longer available, we have hundreds of alternatives to browse.
