For the Anns and Leslies In Your Life on Feb. 13

Oh Bustle readers, you beautiful, tropical fish, you. We're just a few short days away from the best holiday of the year: Galentine's Day ! Thanks to Parks and Recreation , February 13 has gone from the dreaded eve of the even more dreaded Valentine's Day, to a time to celebrate the lovely, smart, beautiful, and talented women in your life.

Now, Leslie Knope —the ultimate supporter of strong, fierce women and the founder of Galentine's Day—sets the bar pretty high when it comes to making thoughtful, homemade presents (especially for her BFF Ann Perkins ). So if you're planning on celebrating Galentine's Day this year with your ladies (and you definitely should), not only should you make thoughtful, personal presents, but you should take a cue from none other than Leslie.

Of course, the clock is quickly ticking towards Galentine's Day 2015, but that doesn't mean you can't come up with something seriously great and Parks and Rec -inspired gifts for the Leslie or Ann or Donna or April in your life. Extra word of advice before starting on your Leslie Knope craft session on: watch the episode that started it all, Season 2's "Galentine's Day" for inspiration.

Here are nine homemade, Leslie Knope-worthy Galentine's Day gifts this year.

Make Waffles (with Extra Whipped Cream, Of Course) For Your Brunch

Everybody loves waffles and friendship, so why not combine the two for a delicious, memorable brunch with the two greatest things in the world? In fact, here's an easy, but mouth-watering recipe to follow !

Go to Build-a-Bear and Make a Stuffed Creature They Once Dreamed Of

If they've also dreamed of Yachter Otter, just take a cue from Ben.

Make a Parks and Rec -Themed Mix Tape

Kick things off with the Parks and Recreation theme (natch), then throw in all the show's greatest hits, including "5,000 Candles in the Wind," some smooth Duke Silver numbers, and of course, Leslie's rendition of "We Didn't Start the Fire."

Jazz Up Your Old My Little Pony and Turn It Into Li'l Sebastian

Make it a little outfit advertising the Snakehole Lounge and it's like Li'l Sebastian never left us. (RIP.)

Paint Her a Picture of Whatever Reminds You of Her the Most

Whether you see her as a beautiful, rule-breaking moth, or a poetic and noble land-mermaid, or a cunning, pliable, chesnut-haired sunfish, she'll be touched when you paint her a picture that captures her very essence. (Or maybe a little concerned. Probably both.)

Make Her a Very Special Wedding Dress That Captures All the Major Milestones In Her Life

Alright, this one would take some serious sewing skills, but in the words of Leslie Knope as Tim Gunn, you could "make it work, designers."

Make Her a Friendship Unity Quilt

Again, you'd have to be great at sewing, but if you've got a knack for it, you could make a unity quilt that represents the personalities or you, your BFF, and all your gals. Just don't forget to add a Joe Biden patch!

Create a Galentine's Day Gingerbread House

Who said that gingerbread houses had to be specific to Christmas? If your BFF is anything likes Leslie and loves sugar year-round, she'll love a gingerbread house that she'd love to live in and/or eat.

Turn Her Into a Balloon Person!

This may not last as long as some of the other gifts on this list, but if you're a skilled balloonsmith, this will be really impressive if you make a spot-on balloon version of your pal.

North American River Otter

The playful North American river otter is equally at home in the water and on land. It makes its home in a burrow near the water's edge, and can thrive in river, lake, swamp, or estuary ecosystems. Otter abodes feature numerous tunnels—one of which usually allows them to come and go from the water.

Swimming Abilities

These otters swim by propelling themselves with their powerful tails and flexing their long bodies. They also have webbed feet, water repellent fur to keep them dry and warm, and nostrils and ears that close in the water. They remain active in winter, using ice holes to surface and breathe. They can hold their breath underwater for some eight minutes.

River otters, members of the weasel family, hunt at night and feed on whatever might be available. Fish are a favorite food, but they also eat amphibians, turtles, and crayfish.

Life on Land

On land, river otters can bound and run quite well, if not quite as effectively as they swim. They love to playfully slide down snow-covered, icy, or muddy hills—often ending with a splash in the water. Otter families of mother and children can be seen enjoying such fun, which also teaches survival skills.

Otter Parenting

Males do not help raise young otters. Females retreat to their underground dens to deliver litters of one to six young. When the young are only about two months old, they get an advanced swimming lesson—their mother pushes them into the water. Otters are natural swimmers and, with parental supervision, they soon get the hang of it.

Threats to Survival

These otters' range has been greatly reduced by habitat loss, though they exist in such numbers that they are trapped in some locales. Otters are also very sensitive to environmental pollution.

Beer Description

Yachter Otter!? Two months ago you have a dream about a playboy otter lost at sea and we make him real! We do indeed. All aboard the S.S. Romps & Ramps. This is a malt focused, yet crisp & healthy continental brown. Sweet english nose but an apparent dryness unfurls. Made with crystal, chocolate, flaked and malted rye, lactose and blend of english and canadian base malts. Notes of chocolate chestnut trifle, chocolate bakers squares, smoky vanilla, wee bit of roasty burnt malt to carry the sweetness and a squiggle of twang.
