MAKING YOUR WIFE FEEL SPECIAL THIS WOMEN'S DAY
Making Your Woman Feel Special This Women's Day
International Women’s Day is just around the corner. On this day, people across the globe celebrate the achievements of women who have overcome barriers like gender inequality, discrimination against color, age, and pregnancy discrimination. Be it a daughter, friend, mother, or wife, a woman plays a very important role in a person’s life and in shaping their value system.
Being a combination of a good wife and a good mother is said to be one of the toughest roles a girl has to play in her life. Why not appreciate your wife this Women’s Day and let her know how important she is to you and what an outstanding job she has done in being a beautiful wife and a caring mother? Here are a few things a husband can do for his wife on this Women’s Day.
Handwritten Note
Write a heartfelt handwritten note to your wife saying how important she is to you, and even though you might forget to appreciate her at times or might overlook her contribution toward the house, you still have immense respect for her and could not have asked for anything more than her in life.
You can write things like, You are the answer to all my what? When? Why? Who? Which? How? With you by my side, I can climb the highest peak and swim in the deepest ocean. You are strong, compassionate, and beautiful, even more than words can describe, and with you by my side, I have become a better person. Today is your day, as any other day would be. Happy Women’s Day, my all!
FLOWERS CAN SAY A LOT
Beautiful bouquets with exotic flowers are always a good idea. I know you might be thinking how cliché this idea is, but believe me, flowers always stand out and make a great women’s day gift. Mesmerize your wife with beautiful International Women’s Day flowers, or surprise her by getting them delivered to her workplace or at home.
Make sure you do not be stingy on the flowers and spend an adequate amount so that the flowers are fresh and arranged beautifully. Do not forget to add a personal note thanking her and wishing her a happy Women’s Day.
A NICE LOCKET / PENDANT FOR HER
A simple yet elegant pendant necklace is a nice option for gifting your wife on Women’s Day. This pendant might not cost much, and you can even customize it by getting it engraved with her name or initials. You could also get yours and her initials together on it. Ensure the necklace is not made up of any cheap metal, or else it will cause skin irritation. To be on the safer side, please go for a metal like gold or silver.
HOMEMADE DELICACIES
If you are a good chef and manage to cook a decent meal, there can be no better gift than this. You can give your wife a homemade gift. There are endless options to pick from, and in today’s digital world, you can get the recipes online. All you have to do is measure the ingredients and put exactly the amount mentioned in the recipe, and you will definitely get a good result.
Here are a few options for you to pick from.
1] Choco chip cookies.
2] Brownie (you also get a brownie mix readily available).
3] Garlic bread and pasta (you get the sauce for the pasta readily available).
4] Peanut Butter Cookie.
5] Sandwiches with a side of salad.
6] Sautéed baked veggies with mashed potatoes.
7] Cake (again, the cake mix is easily available; just choose your flavor).
8] Pizza (the pasta and pizza sauce) Is it the same? Just get the base, chop some veggies, pour some sauce, add lots of cheese, and then bake.
The efforts you put into cooking a meal will show your wife how much you care and will also give her an off day to rewind and relax.
SPA DAY
Well, if you have decided to wear the chef's hat for the day, then you might as well get her spa vouchers and send her out of the house for 2-3 hours. I mean, which woman does not love to be pampered and pamper herself at a spa?
Spending her time at the spa will give you enough time to prepare something at home and then lay it on a nicely decorated candlelit table. Let your wife come back home thinking she still has to prepare the meal and let her walk into this setup. She would definitely be overjoyed, and your efforts will be appreciated in multiple ways.
A BEAUTIFUL DRESS
A nice, elegant dress is the perfect gift for your wife. She is generally so busy managing her personal and professional lives that she forgets to take care of herself or even forgets to buy new clothes or go shopping with her girlfriends.
Let her know she is being thought about and that everything she does is highly appreciated. Buy a nice dress for her; you can also try and remember the dress she has always wanted but had to let go of because of its price. Believe me, there will be one such outfit, for sure. Select her favorite color and brand while choosing the dress, and it will surely be appreciated at home.
TAKE HER ON A DATE AND MAKE HER FEEL SPECIAL
I know that once you get married and start a family, things are not the same. Date nights become shorter, and the time you spend with your wife goes into discussing household necessities or your kids.
Plan a romantic date night like you used to when you were newly married. You can plan something at a fancy restaurant that has sentimental value for you two. It could be the place where you proposed, first met her, or had your first date. Make sure this night brings back special memories for the two of you, and do order her favorite thing at the restaurant to make the meal even more special.
BUY HER SOMETHING TRADITIONAL
Well, has it been too long since she has worn a traditional outfit? Buy her a nice traditional outfit with some Indian jewelry.
Below is the list of things you can gift her.
A nice trendy Kurti
Crop top with Palazzo
Chand Bali’s
Gold Multi-layered necklace
Salwar Kameez with gota work
Buy her something nice and tell her you would like to see her in it when you take her out on a date or plan the candlelight dinner at home.
SMART KITCHEN APPLIANCES TO SAVE HER TIME
There are new inventions happening every day. You need to keep upgrading your kitchen and bringing in new technology to make our lives simpler. Example: To make bread, we had to mix all the ingredients, manually make a dough, keep kneading it, and then put the dough in a baking dish and bake it for 20–30 minutes. But now you have a bread maker where you have to put all the ingredients in and shut the lid. The bread maker will mix all the ingredients, keep kneading them, and then bake them as well. The result is that you get freshly baked bread with minimum human effort.
Walk around the kitchen and see what kind of kitchen appliances are being used. Do the appliances need an upgrade? Well, if you spot anything needing an upgrade or you know of something that she wants in an appliance, do not think twice and gift her that. This will show her how much you appreciate all the meals she prepares for you and your children.
Get her that breadmaker or microwave that she always wanted. If she is trying to watch her calories, you could also gift her an air fryer. Make sure the appliance that you purchase is of a nice, well-reputed brand and is of good quality; otherwise, it becomes very embarrassing to gift a particular appliance only to have it break after a few days or a week. This gesture will definitely earn brownie points for you, and you might even get the same in dessert as well.
PLEDGING IN DOING DAILY HOME CHORES ON TIME
Decide on a simple task that you can perform daily and tell your wife, This is my job, and I will do it with perfection. It could be as simple as getting groceries from the store on time. Or getting vegetables, mowing the lawn, or doing the dishes after dinner. The list is endless because there are a lot of housekeeping chores.
DECORATE A PART OF YOUR HOME AND INVOLVE EVERYONE IN THE HOUSE TO CELEBRATE WOMANHOOD
Make her feel that this day is meant for her. Decorate a part of your home with some balloons and flowers. Involve other family members in doing so and make her walk into this decorated space while all of you are wishing her a very happy women’s day. Tell her how important she is to this family and how her efforts keep this family together and bonded, even though she knows it is good to hear your praise once in a while.
WASH HER CAR FOR HER
No one likes to wash the car, especially from the inside. Why not wash your wife’s car from the inside out? If you cannot do it, why not take the car out for a swanky car spa? After all, your wife does a brilliant job of keeping the house clean and running errands every day throughout the year. If your wife is going to be by your side in your happiness and in your sorrow, then make her do the cleaning, dusting, and running errands all on her own. Pick up a take and do it religiously every time to show your appreciation.
A PROMISE
This is the last point, but trust me, it’s the most important one. I think even if you gift her something, you should definitely combine it with a promise of cherishing all the memories made and celebrating her success.
A promise to cheer her up every time she feels low, a promise to never betray her or cheat on her. Promise her that even though you have fights and disagreements, you will never fall out of love. Promise her you will respect other women at work and respect the space and boundary that should be between you and them. Promise her to love her when she becomes old or has white hair.
After all, being married is all about supporting each other and being there for each other through thick and thin, right? Women are great people who bond with society, and they definitely deserve our gratitude. So March 8 is the day we can show our appreciation for them. But my question to you is, why just show it one day?
This year, let’s take a pledge to respect and appreciate women year-round. And let’s show this appreciation in abundance and make them feel special!
