Valentine's Day is supposedly about celebrating romantic love. But, everyone knows — whether they're in a relationship or not, it's really their best friend who's their truest love and soulmate. Even if you are going all in on Galentine's Day on Feb. 13, there's no harm in showering your bestie with gifts twice in February. Heaven knows they deserve one or more of these best friend Valentine's Day 2018 gifts. Think about how they're on call 24/7 for your exclusive BFF hotline. Yeah.

Every inside joke, every Saturday spent lounging in front of the TV together, every road trip, and every hiking misadventure is a gift in and of itself. Having someone be your personal diary, your personal security detail against the rude people who interrupt your life, and your go-to emergency contact is incredibly special, and it shouldn't be taken for granted. Your appreciation for your bestie's existence can be and should be paraded as often as possible.

Thankfully the gift giving holidays keep on happening. Meaning, there are more opportunities to get your best friend something nice, or funny, or something so ridiculous that only they would understand the meaning and sentiment. So who is to say you have to have a boo to participate in Valentine's Day? As far as I'm concerned, if you have a best friend, you have a date. And someone to buy flowers for.

Baked NYC knows how to whip up a cookie — so don't let your best friend go without hearts this Valentine's Day. The cookies are only available in stores on Feb. 13 and Feb. 14, but Baked NYC has an online shop stocked with sweets!

Was the last text you sent your best friend, "can you pick up a bottle of wine?" If so, this is the perfect gift to giggle over. Custom labels seem to be an option here, so get ~creative~.

9 Cm. Assorted Desert Rose Echeveria Succulent Plant (3-Pack)

Home Depot

Assorted Desert Rose Echeveria Succulent Plant (3-Pack), $14.36, Home Depot

Your best friend doesn't need a green thumb in order to take care of a few succulents. They're notoriously hard to kill (though it is possible, note) so you're not passing a huge responsibility off on someone who isn't into gardening. Succulents can transform a plain room into a positive environment. Inspire your besties space with some green!
