This weekend, we prepare to celebrate yet another March 8th, not just another day in the calendar. All around the world, the 8th of March is the International Women’s Day, a celebration meant to remind us of the contribution of women in history, as well as the respect and love we owe to the weak sex.
The International Women’s Day has its origins rooted at the beginning of the 20th century, when the American suffragettes were militating for gender equality. In Western pop culture, the International Women’s Day started to gain more and more prominence in the 70s. Today, particularly in Europe, March 8th is a combination of Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day, a time for women to be spoiled and loved and offered beautiful gifts.
In the following, we would like to discuss this aspect: the ideal gifts that can surprise the women in your life this March 8th.
We all know how women love sweets and chocolate. Chocolate boxes are a classic idea you can always go for. Also, jewelry and accessories are a good idea. Lovers around the world, if you have missed the chance to declare your love or to ask the hand of your partners, you are granted yet another chance: March 8th.
Flowers are by far the most popular gifts, suitable for both your lovers or your mothers and for colleagues or business partners. There is an entire “code” of flowers; thus, tulips (the most widespread flowers of the season) symbolize optimism, friendship and good thoughts. Roses (especially the red ones) symbolize passionate love, while the white kind invoke purity and redemption. Hyacinths and snowdrops, symbols of spring, also represent friendship, hope and the optimism in a bright future, full of beautiful dreams come true.
For all couples that are deeply in love, no amount of time is enough, so we advise you to treat your partner with a beautiful trip someplace new. You can be spontaneous: rent a car and go to the mountains or, why not, on a shopping spree with your better half!
