International Women’s Day is a day very dear to my heart and one I look forward to every year.
That is because this day serves as a real-life reminder of the incredible strength, resilience, and magic that women bring to the table every single day.
But here’s the thing: despite the progress we’ve made, there are many people out there who overlook the importance of celebrating women’s achievements and contributions.
Some might think, “Oh, but isn’t everyday women’s day?” Well, honey, while I’d love to live in a world where that is true, the reality is that we still have work to do.
International Women’s Day isn’t just about showering us with flowers and compliments (although, let’s be real, who doesn’t love a good bouquet?). It’s about shining a spotlight on the issues that affect us, celebrating our wins, and lifting each other up in solidarity.
It’s a chance to amplify the voices of women from all walks of life.
Whether you’re a working woman hustling in the boardroom, a stay-at-home mom rocking the mom bun, an elderly woman sipping tea on the porch, or a single mom juggling a million things at once, it’s your day to shine, sis.
And what better way to celebrate than by getting creative with how we celebrate Women’s Day this year? That’s where these 20 fabulous ideas come in.
From pampering sessions to heartfelt gestures of gratitude, there’s something here for every woman to feel seen, heard, and appreciated.
Let’s dive into it!
Celebrating Women in the Workplace
Because we’re all boss babes in our own way!
- Recognize and celebrate outstanding milestones in the careers of women within the organization, such as work anniversaries, promotions, or successful project completions.
2. Offer special professional development workshops or seminars tailored to the needs and interests of women in the workplace. This could include leadership training, negotiation skills, or workshops on work-life balance.
3. Create a special recognition wall where colleagues can write notes of appreciation and recognition for women in the workplace. This can be a physical wall or a digital platform where the messages can be shared publicly.
Honoring stay-at-home moms
Because motherhood is the toughest job in the world
4. Treat the stay-at-home mom to a luxurious spa day at home. Create a relaxing atmosphere with scented candles, soothing music, and pampering skin care products. Give her a massage or draw her a relaxing bubble bath.
5. Make childcare arrangements with family members, trusted friends, or a professional babysitter, and plan a fun day out. Give her a break from being a mom and get her out of the house for some fun activities like getting together with friends for brunch, shopping, visiting a museum, or art gallery, or just taking a stroll in the park.
6. Make a DIY spa basket filled with luxurious bath products, candles, chocolates, and a soft robe or slippers. It’s a thoughtful gift that helps her to take time for self-care and relaxation.

Empowering Older Women
Because age is just a number, and wisdom is timeless!

8. Organize a cooking or baking class where older women can learn new skills and recipes.
9. Start a gardening club where older women can come together to share tips, tricks, and stories about their gardening experiences. Plan group outings to local nurseries or botanical gardens to get ideas.
Supporting Single Moms
Because single moms are superheroes in disguise
10. Plan volunteer teams or hire handyman services to help single moms with domestic duties, like yard work, repairs, or household chores. This will lighten the load for single moms and ensure their homes remain safe and well-maintained.
11. Assist single moms who may struggle to afford or access reliable transportation with their transportation needs. You can help them with gas cards, bus passes, or rideshare vouchers to help them get to work, school, appointments, or other important destinations.
12. Plan or attend networking events for single moms. It’s a great way to connect with other women who understand the unique challenges and joys of single motherhood.
Celebrating Married Women
Because love is a beautiful thing, no matter how you define it!
13. Plan a romantic getaway or couples’ retreat to celebrate your partner and strengthen your bond. Quality time together is always a good idea.
14. Give yourself some time to express gratitude for your partner and the love you share. Write a heartfelt letter, plan a special date night, or simply say “I love you” more often. Love is the glue that holds us together.
15. Gift her something she’s been wanting for the longest as a way to show appreciation to her.

Empowering Single Women
Because independence is empowering, and self-love is key!

20. Treat yourself to a luxurious spa day at home or book a session at your favorite spa. Get a massage, facial, or manicure/pedicure to pamper yourself and unwind.
