Women's Day gift: Surprise her with Kanel

The importance of Women's Day

A little history

International Women's Day has its origins in the workers' struggles and women's demonstrations of the early 20th century in Europe and the United States, demanding better working conditions, the right to vote and gender equality.

The date 8 March was officially adopted in 1917 after the women's strike in St Petersburg that marked the start of the Russian Revolution. This day therefore symbolises a long and ongoing struggle for women's rights and equality around the world.

The current meaning

Today, International Women's Day is more than ever a time to recognise the advances made in women's rights, but also to highlight persistent inequalities.

It's an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of women in all sectors of society, while continuing to fight for full equality.

Giving a gift on 8 March is a great way of showing our appreciation and support for the women around us.

Gift ideas to celebrate the women in your life

Pour votre partenaire

Surprise your partner with a personalised piece of jewellery or a shared experience, such as a romantic dinner or a weekend getaway. The things that create memories together are often the most precious.

For your mother

For your mother, opt for a product that adds a touch of comfort to her everyday life.

A soft bathrobe, a home spa set or a beautiful book by her favourite author will be appreciated gifts that show her how much you care about her well-being.

For your colleagues and friends

Elegant stationery, easy-to-care-for houseplants or tea and chocolate tasting boxes make great gifts for your colleagues and friends.

They add a touch of beauty and pleasure to their personal or work space.

How to make a gift special

The importance of personalisation

Personalising a gift, whether by engraving names or a significant date, or even by choosing an item that matches the person's passions, shows your attention to detail and your desire to make the gift truly unique.

Creating an experience rather than just a gift

Beyond the object, offering an experience (such as a cooking class, art workshop or wellness session) is a wonderful way to show your appreciation. Experiences create lasting memories, strengthen relationships and can be personalised according to the person's interests.

Flowers, a timeless classic

For many occasions, offering flowers remains a gesture deeply rooted in our traditions.

Women's Day is no exception. As a florist, I can assure you that a carefully chosen bouquet has the power to express your feelings, honour and celebrate the women in your life in the most delicate and meaningful way.

Choosing the right bouquet

The choice of bouquet needs to be carefully considered, as each flower carries its own special symbolism.

Want to express your admiration? Choose irises.

Do you want to show your deep affection? Pink roses will be perfect.

And why not tulips to symbolise perfect love?

The important thing is to choose according to the personality and preferences of the person you are giving the flowers to. And don't forget to take into account the language of colours: if red expresses passion, yellow will symbolise friendship and pink, tenderness.

Combine flowers and gifts for greater impact

To make the gift even more special, why not combine your bouquet with a little something extra?

A book for book lovers, a box of chocolates for gourmets, or even a unique experience, like a floral design workshop. The aim is to create a combination that enchants and touches the heart.

Other ways to celebrate Women's Day

Beyond the traditional gifts, there are many ways to honour the women around you on this symbolic day. Think of the current context and the importance of recognising their struggles, their successes and, quite simply, their daily lives.

Unique activities and experiences

Why not offer an experience rather than an object?

A painting workshop, a relaxing day at a spa, an exotic cookery class or a wine tasting. These experiences will create lasting memories and show that you've put your heart into thinking of something unique. It's also a great way to spend quality time together and strengthen your bond.

Commitment to equality

So let's not forget that Women's Day is also a symbol of the fight for equal rights.

Joining a feminist cause, making a donation to an organisation that works for women's rights or simply getting informed and discussing feminist issues are all meaningful gestures. Giving the gift of a book on the subject or planning a film night featuring films made by women can also be a rewarding way to celebrate the day.
