We all have friends that have it all and we do not know what to get them for special occasions such as Valentine's Day (or Galentine's Day). I have the perfect solution for you. Give them the joy of gaming, with either a gaming console such a Nintendo Switch light or a game to play on their Nintendo Switch. 

A couple of weeks ago, Nintendo invited us to join them for a Galentine's Day Celebration virtually with brunch delivered to our home and some goodie bags, games, and crafts. Off course we said yes, we want to celebrate Valentine's Day with our gaming friends. 

We were super excited to get some of the Nintendo clothing (t-shirt and baseball hat), a journal, some very fun games, and much more. 

During the day of our virtual brunch celebrations, we were treated to breakfast delivered from a local restaurant and we were able to learn a few tricks on how to play Big Bran Academy: Brain vs Brain and Mario Party Superstars. My son had a lot of fun gaming with the other attendees, and I enjoyed some dulce the leche pancakes as he gamed.
