Leslie's Galentine's Day gifts for her friends in the first"Galentine's Day" episode range from hand-crocheted flower pens to personalized 5,000-word essays explaining why each of her friends is so awesome.Leslie gives everyone mosaics of their faces, and when April turns hers around, her scowling face matches the mosaic perfectly.
