Top 10 Gifts for International Women's Day
1. Coloring Pages from Trending Coloring
Number one on our list is a present that promotes relaxation and creativity—downloadable coloring pages from Trending Coloring. These intricate designs, from flowers to mandalas, are perfect for women who enjoy an escape that is mindful. Coloring is not a hobby; it's a proven stress reliever and imagination liberator, so it's the ideal gift for her individuality. Combine a set of colored pencils or markers with a set of these downloadable pages, and you've got a thoughtful, budget-friendly gift that encourages her to relax and be creative. It's a subtle but powerful way to celebrate her inner artist on this special day.
2. Empowering Books by Women Authors
Books by inspiring women are a gift that will last longer than a day. Place Becoming by Michelle Obama, a change-of-life memoir of elegance, or The Moment of Lift by Melinda Gates, a memoir of empowerment through action, in a bookmark or a note on why she is your heroine, and you have given a gift that will inspire her heart and mind. It's a celebration of the power of women's voices, so apt to the ethos of International Women's Day.
3. Handmade Jewelry from Female Artisans
Handmade jewelry adds a personal, meaningful touch. A delicate necklace with a pendant symbolizing strength—like a tree for roots or a star for hope—can be personal and motivating. Find something made by local artists or websites that uplift women artists. This gift not only adorns her; it encourages women artists in the art, answering the day's cry of being united.
4. Aromatherapy Candle Set
A set of aromatherapy candles adds a bit of luxury and calm to her day. Lavender to unwind, citrus for energy, or rose for comfort can be swapped out to match her personality or mood. Select candles from female-owned businesses to align with the day's theme. It's a small indulgence that reminds her to pause and breathe, a gentle reminder of her worth in the midst of life.
5. Personalized Self-Care Kit
Curate a self-care kit tailored to her needs—a silky eye mask, a rich hand cream, and a soothing lip balm for those long days. Toss in a pocket-sized journal for her thoughts or sketches. This gift shows you’ve paid attention to what keeps her going, offering a gentle nudge to prioritize herself. It’s a practical yet tender way to celebrate her strength and encourage rest.
6. Stylish Reusable Tote Bag
A reusable tote bag blends utility with style, making it a standout gift. Choose one with an empowering message, such as “Nevertheless, she persisted,” or a bold floral print that reflects her vibrancy. Bonus points if it’s from a female-led brand. She can use it for work, errands, or a weekend outing, carrying a little piece of your appreciation wherever she goes.
7. Subscription to a Mindfulness App
A year-long subscription to a mindfulness app like Calm or Headspace is a modern gift for the woman juggling it all. With guided meditations, sleep stories, and breathing exercises, it’s a tool to help her find balance and calm. This thoughtful present honors her resilience, giving her a resource to navigate life’s challenges with grace—a perfect fit for International Women’s Day.
8. Luxe Cashmere Scarf
A cashmere scarf wraps her in luxury and refinement. In timeless neutrals or vibrant hues, it’s an investment item that adds a pop to any ensemble. Source it from a female-owned company to continue the theme. This present is a hug in a box, a luxurious way to toast her refinement and the warmth she brings to others.
9. Custom Art Print
A beautiful fine art print that reflects her tastes—like a serene landscape for an outdoors type or a vibrant abstract for a free spirit—adorns her home. You can have it made to order or select from online portfolios, having it framed for a contemporary finish. It’s a lasting gesture of admiration, reflecting her interests and lighting up her home long after dusk.
10. Gourmet Chocolate Gift Box
Few things shout "treat yourself" quite so loudly as a box of gourmet chocolates. Select a variety from a woman-owned chocolatier—smooth truffles, dark chocolate squares, or fruit bites. Include a note of why she makes your life sweeter, connecting it to the joy women bring to the world. It's a delicious, easy way to cap this list, celebrating her with each bite.
Why These Gifts Stand Out
These ten gifts stand out because they capture the essence of International Women’s Day—honoring women’s achievements and empowering their spirits. Trending Coloring’s coloring books are the perfect start to their creative power and simplicity, urging her to let loose and be herself. Books and art engage her mind, self-care products and candles soothe her soul, and jewelry, totes, and scarves honor her style. Chocolates add a sweet touch. Each one is thoughtful but celebratory, usually benefiting women artists, so they’re not gifts—they’re acts of empowerment.
