5 Swoon-Worthy Galentine’s Day Gifts You Can Get on Consignment

The bond shared between women is truly special and empowering, and there’s no better way to celebrate your closest friends than with a Galentine’s celebration. So, for Galentine’s this year, break away from the conventional flowers-and-chocolates and instead treat your besties to something luxurious.

But you don’t have to worry about the price tag, thanks to consignment stores like Current Boutique. Shopping on consignment, you can find high-end designer clothes and accessories at a majorly discounted price. That means you can gift your girls something as lavish and beautiful as they are – while staying budget- and eco-friendly.

Check out these five gifts you can buy on consignment to make your friends’ Valentine’s Day extra special this year.

Indulgent cashmere scarf

Cashmere is an all-natural, premium material that adds elegance, luxury, and comfort to any wardrobe or aesthetic. But many women won’t splurge on cashmere for themselves, so gifting a cashmere scarf is the perfect “little luxury” to brighten her day.  

Personalize the gift by selecting a scarf that aligns with your friend’s personality. Opt for something vibrant and patterned for the bubbly gal in your life…

Or go for something subdued and chic for the girl with a classic French style.  

Browse our current selection of scarves here. We carry a range of high-end designers like Burberry, Gucci, Hermes, and more.

Chic designer sunglasses

Sunglasses transform clothes into an outfit. They create an effortlessly stylish and put-together vibe, no matter what you’re wearing. That makes sunglasses an easy gift for both the fashionista friend and the one who prefers sweatpants and hoodies.

Many people shy away from gifting sunglasses because it can be hard to know which styles will look good on the recipient’s face. For example, women with heart-shaped faces look stunning in aviators, while oversized frames add a touch of drama to those with rounder faces. But don’t worry! Check out our guide on finding the perfect pair of sunglasses for yourself or your bestie here.  

At Current Boutique, we carry designer sunglasses at a reasonable price point. With brands ranging from Chanel and Tiffany & Co. to Chloe and Kate Spade, you’ll find a pair of shades that matches each of your friends’ unique styles.

Check out our in-stock sunglasses here. Sunglasses are a bestseller in consignment stores, so don’t wait to find the perfect Galentine’s gift.

Grown-up BFF jewelry

When you were younger, you might have given your best friend a friendship bracelet, or you two might haven worn matching BFF puzzle-piece necklaces. This Galentine’s Day, let’s take the sentiment of the matching friendship jewelry up a notch with upgraded, timeless pieces that your friend will cherish for a lifetime.

If your friend loves classic elegance, consider subtle pearl earrings or a simple gold necklace. This is a thoughtful way to show your friends you care about them while gifting something practical they’ll get a lot of use out of.

For the friend who embraces bold fashion, explore unique statement pieces you could add to their wardrobe. They’ll think of you every time they put it on.   

And why not show yourself some love this Valentine’s Day and buy a similar jewelry piece for yourself? Matching consignment jewelry is a grown-up version of the BFF-necklace, but you and your friend can still mix and match the jewelry with other outfits even when you’re not together.

Dream handbag

Whether your friend is always sporting a new handbag or has used the same go-to tote for a decade, she’s sure to appreciate adding a new designer handbag to her collection. Purses can completely change the look of an outfit, transforming even the simplest sweatpants and sweatshirts into a full-on vibe.

Before investing in a handbag for your friend, consider their color preferences, style, and practicality. Do they tend to lean towards a hands-free crossbody in simple colors, or do they like a colorful handbag that’s the statement piece of their outfit? Check out some of the most popular handbag brands here for inspiration.

Take your gifting to the next level by buying your bestie their dream handbag. Have they always wanted a Chloe shoulder bag? Are they eyeing a Kate Spade tote? Keep your eye on consignment stores like Current Boutique, and with a bit of luck, you might happen upon their dream piece at a majorly discounted price!

The “I’m-in-love” shoes

Many of our Current Boutique customers fall in love with a pair of shoes but don’t buy them, because they feel those “special” shoes are too lavish to splurge on themselves. (On the other hand, I’m like Carrie Bradshaw, who said: “I’ve spent $40,000 on shoes, and I have no place to live. I will literally be the old woman who lived in her shoes.) So, give your best friend the gift they’ve been dying for… Those shoes she’s in love with but won’t buy for herself.

Shoes are a fashion statement, so choose something your friend will be able to rock for their most fun events – concerts, dates, etc. Whether it’s a classic stiletto, a trendy block heel, or chic wedges, consider the heel height and design that would fit her style.

A pair of designer heels not only adds luxury to their wardrobe, but it’s also the perfect memorable and cherished gift that will show you care. Browse Current Boutique’s selection of preloved shoes here to find the perfect pair.

Tip: Make sure you find out their shoe size before buying! Shoe sizes can vary depending on style and designer, so don’t gift shoes unless you’re confident in their sizing.
