I have a confession to make. I secretly love Valentine’s Day. Not because I have a date or like lovey-dovey things. But because I love everything pink, especially during an otherwise dreary and bleh winter!
It’s kind of nice to see everything decorated in pink, red, and white especially after the holidays come to an end! 😆
I also love planning a Galentine’s Day party every year, which gives me an excuse to decorate my apartment in pink and make some really cute treats!
I don’t really host parties other times of the year, so I go all out with my Galentine’s Day party and even make cute little gift bags for my friends!
Speaking of treats, in this post I’m sharing 22 easy Valentine’s Day treats you can make with just 5 ingredients or less. These are perfect for Galentine’s Day parties, gift boxes, DIY gift baskets, or just as a sweet treat to bake on a slow February weekend!
