Each year, on March 8th, people around the world come together to celebrate the women in their lives by observing International Women's Day. Apart from the festivities and supporting women-owned businesses, many people also follow the tradition of giving flowers and gifts on Women’s Day.
For the uninitiated, International Women’s Day is a global holiday sanctioned by the United Nations that aims to celebrate the contributions of women to society and to raise awareness to improve gender equality.
But have you ever wondered what are the origins of this thoughtful day?
The history of International Women’s Day dates back more than 100 years ago when it was first observed across Europe and US. But it wasn’t until March 8th, 1946, when the feminists in Italy choose the Mimosa flower (Flowering Acacia) as the symbol of strength and sensitivity for women’s day.
Gifting Women’s Day Flowers has become a norm across the world. On this day, men and women alike express their appreciation and support to the women in their lives. Co-workers, friends, family members, etc. come forward and gift beautiful Flower Bouquets to the strong women around them.
