10 ways to make your woman feel special on Women’s Day

If you are wondering how to wish Women’s Day to a girl, try to assess what kind of actions or things bring a smile to her wife. Ask yourself, “What makes her happy and how can I make that happen?”

Here are some heartfelt gestures to make this Women’s Day for love that can help you celebrate the woman who adds sparkle to your life.

1. Write a letter or a poem

You can also write a Women’s Day letter to a wife or girlfriend and express what you might find difficult to express daily.

Verbal expressions of admiration and appreciation are awesome, but putting them in writing is a special way to communicate how you feel. “It’s something that she’ll be able to keep and re-read as often as she wants,” says professional counselor KerriAnne Brown.

Along with making her feel special, you can use this opportunity to appreciate her for everything she does for you. In the letter or poem you write for her, explicitly mention the things you are grateful to her for, which really makes a difference. 

Instead of a complete letter, a small note can also do the trick. Professional counselor Dr. LaWanda N Evans says, “an ‘I appreciate you’ written note, says I see you, I acknowledge you, I value you, and I appreciate you for all you do. “

“Planning a special day for her is also a nice surprise,” says relationship expert SaraKay. 

Tell your wife or girlfriend to pick a weekend from Friday to Sunday night when you try to fulfill her little whims and wishes. All she needs to do is focus on things that please her, and you will do your best to make her dreams come true. 

The special day can also include time for herself, a precious commodity that is often overlooked or deemed unimportant. 

3. Give her a day off

Juggling multiple responsibilities as an adult can be a nerve-wracking task. A day off from at least one of the responsibilities can be a big sigh of relief for your woman. This Women’s Day, take over all the chores and let her put her feet up and relax. 

Ladies, especially the ones who are homemakers and stay-at-home moms, also need a day to pamper themselves. This could be the perfect opportunity for you to make that wish come true.

4. Take her shopping

You can also wish happy Women’s Day to your girlfriend by taking her out shopping. Spoil her and be indulgent towards her so she can feel elated. 

Like food is the way to some people’s hearts, shopping can be one of the ways to your woman’s heart. And if this is the case, an occasional indulgence is always welcome in a good relationship. 

You don’t have to cough up excessive money for that; a thoughtful gift could make her day. Your indulgent attitude towards making her happy can help her remain in a happy and blissful mood for the next few days after the shopping venture.

5. Plan a date night

Happy Women’s Day wishes to my love can include planning the perfect date for her. A date will allow you to reconnect and build the intimacy quotient in your relationship. 

Plan a candlelight dinner for your wife or girlfriend, as this is the perfect way to end the day. Cook, or order something of her choice. Change up the decor and the lighting to make the ambiance somewhat romantic. 

Marriage and family therapist Mary Kay Cocharo says, “look into her eyes and invite her to tell you what’s important to her. As she speaks, listen deeply with full presence. A woman loves to know that you are truly listening, validating her ideas and feeling empathy for her.”

6. Plan an outing with her female friends

Happy Women’s Day wishes to your girlfriend can also come in the form of planning a females-only outing for your love and her female friends. 

Contact her female friends, maybe even sisters, and get them to meet each other on Women’s Day at a restaurant you picked. You can buy tickets for them for a movie, play, concert or show. And why not plan a relaxing girls’ trip for them?
