International Women’s Day sometimes goes by without notice for many – men and women alike. However, the holiday, celebrated March 8, should be one you have noted on your calendar.
It’s right at the beginning of Women’s History Month and is the perfect excuse to uplift the women in your life. Taking the time to show them you care on March 8 will mean the world to them.
If you’re not sure how to celebrate, we’re here to help. Consider one, or multiple, of these options to help the important women you are surrounded by feel special.
Send them flowers
Everyone loves flowers. Sending the women in your life flowers, whether it’s your sister or significant other, is an easy, but meaningful, way to show you support and appreciate them.
Send them a card
Include a note of gratitude and appreciation for everything they do with the flowers. Tell them how important they are in your life and the impact they have on you.
Gift a plant to your mom or mother figure
If you’re looking for a gift for your mom or mother figure for International Women’s Day consider a plant. Include a note or card that says “Thank you for helping me grow” to thank them for the role they had in shaping you.
Gift self care items
Women work hard. Many wear multiple “hats” of being a full-time worker, mother, homemaker and more. Sometimes that can get overwhelming. In conjunction with helping ease their load however you can, consider giving them comfort items.
Some self-care gift ideas they might appreciate are blankets, tea, a snack basket or chocolates.
It is important to acknowledge the contributions women make to our society every day, but International Women’s Day is a good opportunity to uplift the special women in your life. Show them they are loved, appreciated and seen and that their hard work in helping make sure the world keeps turning doesn’t go unnoticed.
