Host The Perfect Galentine’s Day Dinner With These 5 Trader Joe’s Items

Updated Published
This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UCLA chapter.

This Galentine’s season, there are two things I love: a good dinner party and the seasonal items at Trader Joe’s.

February 14th has always been about showing love to the people in my life who I appreciate the most, and in my opinion, thereā€™s no better way to do this than dinner with your gals. Good pasta, a rom-com, and heart-shaped candy are the best remedies for a broken heart. Unfortunately, hosting this Galentine’s Day celebration can easily break the bank. Luckily for us, Trader Joe’s has a pink, heart-shaped fix.

As I was checking out at TJ’s the other day, admiring my very pink basket, I realized that Trader Joe’s had conveniently provided me with all of the necessary tools for a great night in. And what better people to share a night in with than your Galentines? So, as an avid dinner party enthusiast and Trader Joeā€™s frequenter, here is my expert guide to hosting Galentine’s dinner for less than 30 bucks.

My basket consisted of 5 key items:

Heart Shaped Ricotta Cuoricini Ravioli

An easy comfort food to fuel your cheesy rom-com-filled night, this is the perfect main course to your meal for only $3.99.

A Flower Centerpiece

Who needs someone else to buy them for you when flowers are only $9.99 per bouquet? With options ranging from tulips to roses, flowers make the perfect centerpiece for your table.

Sparkling Cider

A dinner isn’t complete without a fun drink to go along with it, and for only $2.99, this is a great addition to your cart.

Chocolate Strawberry Making kit

Chocolate-covered strawberries are synonymous with the holiday, and this $4 kit turns this delicious dessert into a fun activity that can make your night even sweeter.

Raspberry Heart Cookies

This classic dessert is only $5.99, and the perfect end to your night. With 18 cookies in a box, celebrating with all of your friends just got easier.

Whether you’re hosting a girls night, celebrating with a partner, or just treating yourself to heart-shaped dessert, these items are the perfect way to celebrate this season of love. Happy hosting!
