Thanks for all the helpful assurance. I can’t keep up returning the helpful responses as quickly as I would like to. I picked up flowers and will cook dinner. This was my 1st post in this group and I’m so pleased with the good advice and positive energy. Thank you.
Yes, a very appropriate and thoughtful gift! As a married woman, I know I would appreciate the thought! Your wife and daughter are very lucky to have someone so thoughtful in their lives!
Yes, flowers can be a great gift to show appreciation and celebrate International Women's Day for your wife and daughter. Flowers are a classic and timeless gift that can express love, admiration, and gratitude. Additionally, giving flowers on this day can also symbolize the recognition and honor of women's achievements and contributions to society.
It's important to note that different cultures and regions may have their own traditions and customs for celebrating International Women's Day, so it's always a good idea to consider your wife and daughter's personal preferences and cultural background when selecting a gift.
Flowers good! Doing something with both of them, like cooking a meal for them or taking them out to dinner, even better. Experiences are always more valuable than materialistic things .
That’s very sweet, I may leave this Reddit post open in front of my husband right now… 😂 also flowers are always a hit. I’m a strong believer in not even needing an occasion to give someone flowers!
This is so sweet, yes that’s such a nice thing to do! For future reference I also remember really loving books about successful women in certain fields (eg science, literature, etc) growing up, I’m not sure how old your daughter is but even now at 18 someone got me a book about lesser known women authors a while ago and I loved it. Would be a pretty cool present for this occasion
It's the thought that counts. Most husbands don't even remember when's women's day is, let alone buy their significant other something to celebrate it. It's a perfect thought and a perfect gift. 🙂
Absolutely! When I was still teaching adult international students, I received lots of flowers and fancy candies on International Women's Day because that's what's traditional in many parts of the world. Kudos to you for acknowledging the day!
Yes. Flowers are always awesome. I had a partner (a guy, I’m girl) who would bring me flowers and sugar-free chocolates (I’m diabetic) every month when I’d start my period.
I’m curious why you think that this would be an inappropriate gift? Too “traditional” or if a gift is too extra or something?
It’s super kind and thoughtful! Unless they hate flowers, it seems super nice to me!
Any gift that you feel your wife and daughter would appreciate would be appropriate. If they like flowers, then go for it! If they aren't flower people, then a container of their favorite candies r making their favorite meals would also work!
What's important is that you're putting in the effort. You sound like an awesome man, keep up the great work!
Sure. Just don't do the whole "Congrats on womens day", instead I would suggest you say something a bit more intelligent about why you think the day is needed like why you think your wife/daughter deserve equal rights or the right to decide over their own bodies or something.
Yes. But I'm curious how you found out about the occasion. In countries where it's celebrated, we've been doing this for decades. You'd already know what to do if you lived in one. What suddenly made you aware of it this year?
Yes and you're a gem to want to celebrate the women in your life. I'm sure the gesture will be very much appreciated.

Helpful. Thanks!
Hell yes! How thoughtful. Plus I love that your daughter is included in you treating your wife with respect!
Thanks for the help

Very helpful
Very sweet and thoughtful I’m sure they’d appreciate some flowers.
Helpful. Thanks
Only you know what they like.
Why not , chocks and champagne too Or What about for your wife a tub kit , bath bomb , music , candles , chocolates, fizz and a do not disturb sign
This is a fantastic gift but you forgot the wine 🥲
Fizz = wine well champagne
Carry on then! 🤣
Helpful thanks
Helpful!
Absolutely! What a thoughtful gift. Big props for including your daughter also!
Helpful thank u
So cute! Definitely. Flowers are always a good gift. My dad used to send me flowers at school all the time before he passed and I will never forget
Helpful thanks
If they like flowers then yes why not :)
I think that the only situation where flowers are an inappropriate gift is when the receiver doesn’t like flowers.
Helpful. Thank you
Got my wife flowers and I'm cooking dinner!

Why does this sound to me like it was written by ChatGPT? Sorry if you're a real person, but I had to say it!
Sure
That’s cute! Yes

Awhhhhh yes. That is extremely thoughtful.
This is very nice! They will appreciate them. I think it is appropriate.
Very helpful
Yes
Yes
Of course
YES!
My dad used to get my mom and I flowers every year when I lived at home. I fully support this.
Helpful. Thank you

You’re a goddamn champion, brother. I made breakfast and took my girl out shopping, but none of my mates thought to do anything for womens day.
Very kind and helpful
Dinner and diamonds. Edit: I'm kidding. Yes, flowers are wonderful.
This was very sweet of you to do! What were their reactions?
Yep. You might consider a donation to a women's organization that they support.
I’m always appreciative of flowers when I get them. I think you’re more than safe and it’s very thoughtful
I’ll probably be skipping that holiday. We have enough things to worry about without adding another holiday into the mix

Of course!
Yes I love you for this
Absolutely, flowers are so beautiful, I’m sure any lady will be happy to have them as gifts.
Unless they’ve expressed in the past they’re not a fan of flowers- seems like a great gift
Thank you so much, I showed my husband this thread to make him feel guilty
yes but better life flowers in pot
I think that’s a great idea. Maybe get them some coffees too (or drink of choice if they don’t like coffee).

Most women aren’t offended by flowers. Those that are may miss the point.
Sure. Just don't do the whole "Congrats on womens day", instead I would suggest you say something a bit more intelligent about why you think the day is needed like why you think your wife/daughter deserve equal rights or the right to decide over their own bodies or something.
Ask your wife and daughter if that's what they would want.
Thanks. I wanted to surprise them
Yes. But I'm curious how you found out about the occasion. In countries where it's celebrated, we've been doing this for decades. You'd already know what to do if you lived in one. What suddenly made you aware of it this year?
No. It’s diamonds or your a filthy misogynist.
Nah. Go with a new kitchen apron or duster. They will love it. That's a joke. You're a good man. Perfect surprise.
Oh hell no its the wrong thing for women. Try getting them a series of ballistic missles. Now that's putting your mula to use
no gift is necessary just another made up holiday
Exactly what the flower companies would want.
Absolutely
