March 8th, celebrated across the globe as International Women’s Day, recognises the political, cultural and socio-economic accomplishments of women worldwide.
It’s a day to celebrate the awesomeness women spread across the world every single day, and also to raise awareness about the gender inequality women still have to fight. Women fight biases and prejudices each day to achieve their dreams and make our lives better. Such formidable warriors deserve to be pampered!
Whether it is your mother, partner, sister, best friend, co-worker or any other woman you value, you can make Women’s Day special by showing them how much you appreciate them. It’s not about the material value but about the gesture. Something to tell the iconic lady in your life that she is perfect the way she is. That she cares for you, challenges you, and makes life that much more enjoyable.
With years of gratitude and gifts backing this day, it can be a challenge to explore new ways to spend Women’s Day with the ones you love.
We suggest ditching the cliched teddy bears and velvet hearts for something more meaningful and fun. We list down 3 things to try with the special woman or women in your life this Women’s Day.
Plan a brunch date
Pamper your partner or mum by planning a lavish women’s day brunch for her with her besties. If you’re part of the girl gang, join them too! Choose a restaurant with a relaxed, cheerful vibe, gorgeous décor, and your lady’s favourite cuisine. If she prefers the outdoors, you can even plan a leisurely picnic complete with a food basket, rug, cool drinks, and an umbrella.
Do a DIY project together
It’s time to show your lady your crafty side! Plan a fun do-it-yourself project with her, like making candles or soaps or giving the furniture a rustic, distressed look. Nothing feels better than letting your inner child out to play. Not only will this be super fun, but you will also end up with something meaningful you created with your own hands.
Give back this Women’s Day
Partner with an organisation or non-profit dedicated to women, girls, and children and plan a give-back activity. You and your lady could teach a few free classes, sponsor a child’s education, or spend some time at a shelter for underprivileged kids. Women’s Day is also about helping create strong, empowered women for tomorrow!
