When the moon is in Pisces, it is not advisable to take on the implementation of new projects, as well as for things that require composure, concentration and careful attention. Also, do not change jobs at this time.

For men, the beginning of March is a period of active search for gifts for their beloved wives, girls, mothers and daughters. Do not forget about your colleagues - women with whom you meet every day at work.

How do we relax on March 8?

In Russia, due to the transfer of a day off from a holiday Sunday (January 3) to a working Monday (March 7), whole mini-vacations are formed - It will be possible to rest from March 5 to March 8, 2016. Alas, Ukrainians will not receive additional ones, but they can count on a shortened working day on March 7. Well, we invite you to celebrate March 8 cheerfully and brightly, using one of the following tips!

Option number 1: Home celebration

If on the day of March 8 you want to give all your attention and love to your beloved, then the best option than to spend festive evening home, not to be found. Of course, all the worries and chores around the house on this day fall on the men's shoulders. In order to create a romantic mood in the morning, prepare breakfast and bring it to your beloved in bed, decorating the tray with a bouquet of spring flowers.

Take care of preparing a festive dinner. If you are not at all friendly with kitchen appliances and do not understand anything about cooking, food can be ordered from a restaurant. During the preparation, send your beloved to a session of stone therapy, cryotherapy or a hairdresser, but do not forget to send her pleasant SMS messages.

In the evening, create a romantic atmosphere with a candlelit dinner. You can give a gift original way: hide it in a secluded place, and offer your loved one to find a surprise through romantic hint notes. Approximately the same scenario for the celebration can be if you spend March 8, gathering your whole family.

Persuade your soulmate not to stand at the stove all day, but arrange home delivery of delicious and delicious snacks, buy wine and spend the evening in pleasant conversation. If your woman still wants to demonstrate her culinary skills, then free her as much as possible from unpleasant work - for example, cleaning vegetables or cleaning the kitchen.

Option number 2: Restaurant classics

A good option for celebrating March 8 is a romantic dinner in a restaurant. Your wife or girlfriend will never refuse the opportunity to spend the evening in a cozy atmosphere with pleasant music. The ideal option would be if, before the evening appearance, you organize a pleasant stay for your woman by ordering a relaxing massage session or beauty treatments from a beautician in a beauty salon.

Option #3: Travel

If in holiday time you have at least a few free days, you can plan a romantic trip for two for this period. New experiences are one of the most best gifts. Travel agencies for the pre-holiday period form proposals for weekend trips for every taste and in any financial range.

Think about what would be more interesting for your half - romantic excursions, visits to art galleries, spa treatments or shopping? There are plenty of options - exotic countries (Turkey and Egypt), ski resorts in Montenegro or Austria, as well as traditional romantic trips to Paris, Venice or Prague. Do not forget about your native country - you can choose a romantic place for a holiday trip without crossing the border.

Option #4: A day dedicated to yourself

Girls who are away from their beloved or who are not in a relationship on this day do not need to despair at all, since you can arrange a holiday on your own. What could be better than a day dedicated to your own beauty and pleasure? Give up any chores around the house, get a good night's sleep and take a bath with lush foam and fragrant essential oils.

Have breakfast at the nearest coffee shop, forgetting about diets. Take a cup of aromatic coffee and a warm croissant or an unusual dessert. Treat yourself to a shopping trip and give yourself a gift - update your cosmetics or buy a new handbag. Make an appointment in advance for a manicure, spa or massage session. May this day pass without the usual hassle and worries!

Option number 5: Holiday with friends

Gather a fun bachelorette party - invite your friends to sit in the restaurant in the evening, where you can spend time having pleasant conversations and, of course, exchanging gifts. The party can be smoothly moved to the cinema, a nightclub or a karaoke bar, enjoying the holiday to the fullest.

Option number 6: Corporate

Often, March 8 is celebrated in unison by the whole office. In order for the event not to be boring, men should invite an animator and a DJ to the restaurant, and with their help arrange incendiary dances. A corporate event can be held without feasts - organize a trip to bowling, billiards or a rollerdrome for your women. In the office, you can hang a congratulatory wall newspaper, which in the morning will create the right mood for the fair sex.

If it is customary for you to hold celebrations in the office, do not involve the female part of the team in the process of preparing the table. You can buy sweets, a variety of fruits and ice cream of several varieties, or simply order sushi or a sufficient amount of pizza to the office. Cover the table with a festive tablecloth and buy bright disposable tableware for serving.

Gifts for March 8

Preparation for the celebration of this day requires a special fantasy from the male sex - and not only for organizing entertainment program but also for buying gifts. The task is not simple - not every man is able to understand the intricacies of female nature and guess her desires. Difficulties are added by the “multi-vector” searches, because what is suitable as a gift for an employee, you are unlikely to present to your mother, daughter, wife or girlfriend.

Gifts for mothers and grandmothers

Of course, the first and main gift for every woman - flowers. When choosing a bouquet, proceed from the tastes of the woman to whom it is intended. Someone loves luxurious roses on long stems, and the heart of another woman will melt from a bouquet of small garden roses. The first spring flowers can come to the rescue - snowdrops, tulips, hyacinths or daffodils. Try to choose a bouquet that fully reflects your love and devotion.

When choosing a gift, think about how practical yours or your grandmother is. There is a category of women who hate useless gifts. However, you must be sure that she will be pleased with such a practical gift as an electric vegetable grater, a new blender or a yogurt maker. Lovers of culinary delights can recommend beautiful containers for cereals and spices, a silicone dough mat, molds for baking muffins.

Many women love home textiles - perhaps your mother or grandmother will like a set of quality bedding or a warm blanket made of natural wool. Working mothers often need a new bag or wallet, but do not buy new clothes themselves, preferring to spend money on things that are more useful from their point of view. But March 8 will be an excellent occasion to give mom stylish women's leather goods.

Grandmother will always be delighted with a new automatic blood pressure monitor, received instead of an outdated mechanical model. Don't forget about nice gifts. Working women will appreciate the opportunity to relax with a relaxing foot massage bath as a gift. Treat your mom to a day off by giving her a trip to a beauty salon, tickets to a theater or a concert of her favorite artist.

Gifts for beloved women

A classic and always appropriate gift for your beloved will be jewelry. If you know her tastes well, pick up a piece of gold or silver. Young girls may like jewelry - the market offers a wide variety of options from stones, leather and wood, decorated with enamel, Swarovski crystals or semi-precious stones.

If your loved one is indifferent to jewelry, but loves all kinds of technical innovations, give her useful gadgets for her phone or computer. A car enthusiast will be delighted with a navigator or a car thermal pad for coffee and tea. A table serving breakfast in bed can be a romantic gift - it will surely come in handy for holidays and weekends when it's raining outside the window and you don't want to get out from under the covers for a long time.

original and very beautiful gift- a projector of the starry sky or a bank filled with electronic butterflies. These cute moths that do not require care will fill the heart of your beloved with joy even on the most rainy days. You can choose and useful gift, but only if your woman is really waiting for him. For example, it could be professional hair dryer or a ceramic hair straightener.

A set of natural bristle combs, manicure or hardware pedicure tools will do. Knowing well the taste of your lady of the heart, you can please her with high-quality decorative cosmetics, but if you are not sure what to choose, then limit yourself to buying gift certificate to a good brand store. And, of course, do not forget about the bouquet of her favorite flowers - this gift is always expected for the holiday of March 8.

Gifts for sisters or friends

Sisters and girlfriends are also pleased with signs of attention on International Women's Day. You can limit yourself to a small surprise: a box of your favorite sweets, a beautiful keychain, an unusual cup or curly soap self made. The closest women can be presented with an e-book, a photo frame (always with a photo of joint gatherings) or headphones - today not a single girl can do without modern gadgets.

Always helpful and nice gift- USB flash drive. Look for models in the "female" version. You can pick up a drive in the form of a pendant on a chain or a flash drive decorated with rhinestones and enamel. If your friend or sister wears jewelry, then you can present her with a beautiful and roomy box for the holiday.

Gifts for colleagues and boss

Choosing gifts is not easy. On the one hand, the budget is not rubber, but on the other, I want to make a pleasant surprise who you see every day. There will always be tea or coffee sets at work. A nice sign of attention will be silicone molds for ice or magnetic coasters for paper clips. In addition, colleagues will always need a USB hub of the original form or a lamp that provides keyboard backlight.

A special task is the choice of a gift for a woman leader. If you collect money from the whole team, you can buy a present that corresponds to the status of a business woman. It can be a branded leather-bound diary, a silk scarf famous brand or expensive leather goods. You can give a fountain for the office - it perfectly calms, creates coziness in a strict working room and helps humidify dry office air.

Gifts for girls

Little girls will never refuse another doll, so this one belongs to the category of win-win. Baby dolls are suitable for the little ones, and fashionable and diverse Barbies are suitable for older girls. Little housewives will be happy with a children's set of kitchen utensils or household appliances, which are so interesting to play with, imitating their mother.

The snow has not yet melted, the smell of frosty freshness is still in the air, and spring is already in a hurry to come into its own. Very soon the sun will warm more strongly - and the first defenseless flowers will appear and remind of the future women's day. After all, a magnificent solemn holiday, praising female tenderness, lightness, beauty is just around the corner. It's time to find out how we rest on March 8, 2016.

How we relax on March 8 in 2016: a step back in history

For the last decades, on March 8, women have been honored not for achievements or labor feats, but for their graceful weakness, defenselessness, wisdom and beauty. But it was not always so. To worship feminine have been in ancient times. The oppressed and oppressed weaker sex hour by hour tried to assert their rights, demanding the elimination of all discrimination and fulfilling certain requirements, sometimes absurd. For example, in 1857, American factory workers demanded that their working day be equal to the men's 10-hour one.

The founder of the holiday, celebrated to this day, was the well-known Clara Zetkin, the leader of the German Social Democrats. But at the beginning of the 20th century, March 8 was not at all so solemnly romantic. The female half of the population organized numerous strikes, rallies, riots, for which the representatives were arrested more than once. Probably, thanks to the fortitude shown in that distant hour, today girls, women and grandmothers are a full-fledged part of society, achieve success in various fields of activity, firmly build and reliably protect their family hearth
