A plan for the day
How to congratulate your beloved
- Start the morning with breakfast in bed, flowers and a note.

How to congratulate your mum
- Visit her, or make a video call if you are far away.
- Order flowers with a card written in your own words.
- Give her your time: a walk together, a café or the theatre.
- Help with the jobs that have been put off for a long time.
How to congratulate female colleagues
- Agree on a shared budget and identical gifts for everyone.
- Decorate the office with flowers and organise a festive breakfast or coffee break.
- Prepare short personal cards — it takes little time but means a lot to each person.
- Congratulate a female manager on behalf of the whole team: a bouquet and a card signed by everyone is appropriate and tactful.

What to write in a card
A few sincere words are better than a long poem from the internet. Here are simple options you can add your own words to:
- "Thank you for being there. May this spring bring you lots of warmth and reasons to smile."
- "Mum, you taught me what matters most. Happy Women's Day, and thank you for everything."
- "Wishing you inspiration, energy and time for yourself. Happy 8 March!"

A celebration for yourself
8 March is a good reason to look after yourself: buy yourself flowers, set aside a day for rest, a walk, a favourite book or meeting friends. Spring flowers in a vase are a simple way to bring a festive mood home, even if nobody else has congratulated you.
