For those who are living the single life, this best friend Valentine lets you celebrate the sort of relationship you can count on in life -- like the one between Leslie Knope and Ann Perkins on the TV show Parks and Recreation. Available from ChoBeArtand Design on [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tarotandreading), the Leslie Knope greeting card is ideal to give your comedy-appreciating best friend on Valentine's Day. Featuring a great picture of Leslie (played by Amy Poehler), it reads "You are a beautiful, talented, brilliant, powerful musk ox." The inside is blank so you can write down your feelings.

Best paired with [dessert waffles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comparts-x-waffle-house) from JJ's Diner, the best friend Valentine is also a great [Galentine's present](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/g-products), which celebrates platonic relationships between ladies on February 13th.
