5 International Women’s day gift ideas for every woman in your life

March 8 is celebrated across the globe as International Women’s Day. In many countries, this day is an opportunity not only to honor historical women who pushed for social causes and made tremendous changes but also to acknowledge everyday heroines. We scoured the internet in search of the perfect gifts for the women in our lives and are happy to share our list. Whether it’s your mother, sister, friend, colleague, or partner, showing appreciation with a meaningful gift is a wonderful way to celebrate their achievements and contributions.

Something Empowering

Let’s face it – self-defense is something every woman should learn from a young age. In the spirit of empowerment, consider gifting an important woman in your life a self-defense class or small tools that fit in a purse. If you’re looking for stylish options, check out this Barbie-pink collection by a trendy US brand.

Something Thoughtful

The internet has collectively agreed that Pandora’s time is over, but the concept of collecting meaningful charms is very much alive. It’s a chance to show how well you know the woman you’re shopping for, and the good news is – there are plenty of brands to choose from. One option that particularly stood out is perfect for someone who travels a lot: passport stamp charms. They’re pricey, but they’re a great way to start a collection that will grow in value – not just emotionally, since the charms are made of gold.

Something Useful

Some people prefer practical, simple, and durable gifts. Whether she’s a student carrying books, a working woman with her laptop, or someone who appreciates a cute everyday bag, she’ll definitely find this everyday tote charming.

Fun fact: "The Scully Effect" is a phenomenon recorded because of how many young women were inspired by this character to pursue careers in science, medicine, engineering, and law enforcement. Convenient totes are for Scully types, wdyt?

Something Glamorous

A good perfume makes a lasting impression as a gift. If you know the fragrance the woman you’re shopping for loves, you’re all set. But if you don’t, and she enjoys trying new things, visit acclaimed perfume designers’ websites and order a travel kit. Right now, the kits by Kilian seem to be the hottest item – and just look at the cases! They’re truly glamorous.

Something Delicious

Of course, a box of good chocolate is always an option. But don’t be cheap! You don’t have to find the best chocolate in the world, but let’s elevate it beyond supermarket quality. A great example is this Swiss brand that offers assortment boxes of high-quality products.
