Flowers and Gifts for International Women's Day

International Women’s Day(IWD) is celebrated annually on March 8 worldwide when people tend to send flower bouquets and gifts to the ladies, such as mother, wife(girlfriend), female friends and colleagues, for gratitude and blessings. As a United Nations-sanctioned global holiday, International Women’s Day has a long history that can stretch back more than 100 years in Europe and America. March 8, 1946, feminists in Italy decided to choose mimosa as the symbol of Women’s Day. However, mimosa is not the only choice in IWD, here's a quick flower gifting guide:

Roses

Roses are always one of the most popular flowers on any occasion including IWD. Notice that different kinds of roses come with different flower languages. The romantic red roses should be sent to your significant other obviously and for the respectful elders like mother and grandmother, yellow roses and pink roses are perfect to express your gratitude. Also, champagne roses are the ideal choice for your female friends, colleagues and clients as they are the symbol of maturity, independence and good taste.

Carnations

Aside from roses, carnations are also welcomed by the ladies with various kinds, colors and flower languages and are commonly used in the Mother’s Day too. White carnations are associated with purity and luck while pink carnations are often given as a sign of gratitude. And just like red roses, red carnations are an expression of love as well.

Tulips

As IWD is on the beautiful and warm spring when the tulips are blooming as they symbolize elegance and nobility with the flower language of considerate, intelligent, capable and kind.

Lilies

In Hong Kong, lilies are well known as a sign of wealth and honor with their intoxicating fragrance, so they are usually seen as decorations in the office or at home. Also, in Western culture, they symbolize the purity of the Virgin Mary.
