How to choose a gift for March 8
A big mistake is made by those who think that the most important thing in the gift on March 8 is the gift itself. The main thing in a gift is the attention of the congratulator. A gift is a form of expression of our feelings, affection for the woman or girl to whom it is intended. None of them will remain indifferent when receiving a gift, whatever it may be. Hence the question: does the price of the gift matter?
In addition, the price of the gift should not differ from the material capabilities of the donor. When thinking about a gift, you need to think about not only the price, but also the taste of its addressee. Therefore, the best gift is a handmade one. The most wrong thing when making a gift is to focus on your own tastes! Sometimes they may not match the tastes of the fairer sex.
A gift made to your own taste can become a serious reason for doubting the sincerity of your wishes, or, even worse, cause conflict. The main advantage of the donor is to put himself in the right place of the one who will receive the gift. And the best option is to find out in advance from the hero of the occasion what he would like to receive as a gift and try to cook it himself. For example, if it’s something tasty, then you don’t have to run to the store, you can make an airy cake or pizza with your favorite ingredients at home.
Often men prefer to give universal gifts that can suit almost any woman and are not difficult to make. For example, a cutting board with an elegant pattern applied with an electric burner will always come in handy for a good housewife.
Any gift will become memorable and very pleasant if you put a dedication on it.
The most important gift on the day of March 8 is, of course, flowers... The tradition of giving flowers is old, but very revered. So, in ancient times there was a custom to greet guests with flower garlands. The ancient Greeks and Romans gave flowers to guests and decorated their homes for the New Year. Among the ancient Slavs, not a single holiday was complete without flowers. Often wreaths were woven from them. But to make bouquets of flowers began only in the 16th century, in European countries. But not to give them, but to fill the room with the pleasant aroma of fresh flowers. Therefore, the bouquets were made based on the smell. A hundred years later, Europeans began to decorate their homes with flower bouquets and give them to the women they liked.

How to choose flowers for a gift
Since ancient times, flowers have been used as a good reason for expressing feelings, which, for some reason, could not be expressed in another form. In some states, the so-called language of flowers has turned into a complex communication system. Thus, in Turkish harems, the language of flowers "selam" was very popular, which was originally borrowed by the Swedish court, and then by the English courtiers. Most of this language is now lost, but its echoes can be found in any modern "dictionary of colors". For example, the most popular flowers today in the language of flowers, published in 1845, mean the following:
aster - beauty that is leaving;
carnation - purity;
dahlia - dignity and elegance;
hyacinth - play;
lily of the valley - return of happiness;
lily - modesty;
mimosa - sensuality;
narcissist - disappointed hopes, selfishness;
orchid - beauty;
peony - flattery;
white rose - quiet sadness;
yellow rose - treason;
red rose - passion;
lilac - love;
tulip - love;
chrysanthemum - friendliness.
However, such definitions are not at all dogma. In other dictionaries, color names have different definitions. For example, aster is sadness, narcissus is meekness, and peony is shame. Therefore, it is important that the addressee correctly understands the floral message. At the same time, it would be nice to clarify two things: what a woman knows about the language of flowers, and what "dictionary" she uses. Otherwise, the bouquet will be misinterpreted!
In the old days, floral etiquette assumed not only the symbolism of flowers, but also a certain rite that accompanied the presentation of the bouquet. It was also important how the bouquet was presented, whether thorns were left on the stems and other nuances.
Today, a bouquet of flowers presented on March 8 is a sign of respect and love for a woman. On the eve of International Women's Day, flower shops are overwhelmed with shoppers. Everyone is buying up: from luxurious roses and exclusive orchids to primitive mimosa branches. But even from a small variety of flowers, you can make an excellent bouquet for your beloved with your own hands.
Another ritual associated with flowers is attaching a personalized card with wishes or compliments to the bouquet.
You can make the card yourself.
You can cut, for example, such a plot, paint with soul, you can decorate with a ribbon, beads, rhinestones (all this is easy to find in needlework stores) and certainly such a card will surprise the one for which it is intended.
Today, such a phenomenon is a rarity and a sign of the romance of nature, but is it really bad?
The inscriptions on the cards of the bouquet can be like this.
1. Your beauty is like the beauty of these flowers!
2. Beautiful flowers - the most beautiful!
3. May your life be just as wonderful! Blossom for our joy!
4. Flowers tell more than words.
At the bottom of the card, be sure to sign or write your name so as not to mislead your lady.
How to give a gift for March 8
The pleasant feeling of a gift depends not only on its content, but also on the manner of giving. And for this you need to know how to present a gift correctly. Sometimes a gift from a pure heart can make the opposite impression and even become a source of quarrel in a relationship. To avoid such troubles, you need to carefully consider the donation procedure. And you need to know the rules of etiquette!
Before giving a gift, you need to take off your outerwear when you enter the room. The act of giving a gift should be accompanied by a short introductory word, which should contain only pleasant words and wishes. But there should be no hints about the high cost of the gift, its significance, an apology for the gift (they say, it is not very expensive).
When giving a gift, you should not name its value, talk about what kind of work you had to do or buy it. Price tags and sales receipts must first be removed, unless the item is sold with a warranty card.
Receiving gifts is also a kind of art. If the gift is given in person, as they say, tete-a-tete, then it is better to open it right away, see it or try it on, and then thank it politely. However, if you don't like it, you shouldn't show it. It will not look very decent if you just put it aside and during the holiday do not honor it with any attention. If the gift was received by mail or through an intermediary, then the congratulator must be thanked in the same form or by phone. If sweets or fruits were presented as a gift, then all those present should be treated with them.
What else can you give for March 8
In addition to personal gifts, business gifts are very popular. But such gifts should be inexpensive and appropriate. And even if you work in a good organization with a good team, outside of work you can give whatever your heart desires, but during corporate events, gifts should be discreet. Otherwise, you can put the person in an awkward position in front of other colleagues. For example, if an unmarried woman is presented with a pair of tea cups with a set, she may regard them as a direct allusion to her marital status.
An excellent gift for women and girls for March 8 are books related to their hobbies. A traditional box of chocolates or a bottle of wine is not considered a special gift, but will be a good addition to it or to a holiday table. However, if the wine is rare, collectible, then it is another matter. You cannot give personal items to colleagues at work: clothes, jewelry, perfumes and religious items. When choosing gifts for colleagues, an important requirement must be observed - they must be collective.
Thus, the art of choosing and giving gifts on March 8 takes time and a certain amount of responsibility. And the more serious you approach this task, the more pleasant it will be for you and your loved ones.

What not to give on March 8: list of prohibited gifts
Oh, these gifts should never be given. They can offend the girl, ruin her mood. And under no circumstances will you like it. Therefore, take on arms and bypass them to give on March 8.
- Money! The most commonplace gift you can give. There is not even a drop of imagination, there are no surprises. According to statistics, only 20% of women dream of such an ordinary present.
- Stabbing and cutting objects! It is better not to give any knives, scissors and even watches to superstitious girls. These presents speak of bad omens, so we put them aside.
- Roses! About 70% of girls and women dream of receiving tulips on International Women's Day, but not roses. Moreover, tulips of various colors on this holiday will be sold on every corner. And at the same time, choosing roses, chrysanthemums is, believe me, mauvais ton.
- Appliances! There is nothing worse than giving away a microwave, vacuum cleaner or blender. There is no need to once again put a woman in the position of just a housewife. She deserves to be at least a queen on this day. Only a few will be glad to receive such gifts.
- Underwear! It is very difficult for men to guess with the size. Even if you delve into things with your wife, you will be 99% mistaken. Therefore, it is better to leave this delicate question to your beloved. And she will be given a certificate to a beautiful lingerie store.
- No congratulations at all! This is the most offensive and worst thing that can be done for a woman on this day. Only the worst enemy, or a person suffering from multiple sclerosis, can not congratulate.

- Tulips... This is a very banal bouquet, it is much more pleasant for a woman to receive an original decorated bouquet of flowers.
- Sweets... If a woman is on a diet, then it will be considered ugly. A cake with very fatty cream will not work in this case.
- Cheap eau de toilette... When choosing a perfume, it is generally very difficult, and if you bought eau de toilette for a lady at a sale, it will be a failure. Forget about it.
- Shower sets. It couldn't get any worse. Any woman will not be delighted with this. It is better to buy something for the handmade bath, it will be much more pleasant.
- Books... We are not talking about all categories of books, only those in which we are talking about appearance or behavior. For instance, " How to be kinder to others " or " Skin care ". This will be considered a kind of hint or ridicule. If a lady is interested in something, it would be better to hand her a collector's edition book on this topic.
- Appliances... An iron, a vacuum cleaner and everything like that, absolutely not suitable for such a holiday. But if you buy equipment like a phone or a PC, it will be much more pleasant to get it.
- Cheap jewelry... As with spirits, it will be simply ugly to hand over such things. It is better to use this money to buy a beautiful bouquet or skin or hair care products.

If there are no funds at all in order to purchase a worthy gift, you can please a woman with your creativity. For example, write a beautiful poem or a song for your beloved.
