Hey, if you are a woman or a girl reading this — just forward this to your husband, brother, boyfriend, male colleague, or that one guy in your life who always says "I didn't know what to gift you." This one is for them.
March 8th is coming. And every year I see the same thing happening — men scrambling last minute, buying something generic, or worse, doing nothing at all. I am Vikram Pratap, and I have been in the gifting industry for 14 years now. Through Zingy Gifts, we have delivered more than 1,000+ gifts to women across the country. I have read every review, spoken to every customer, heard every story behind every order.
And trust me — I know what gifting means to a woman. I also know what it means when you don't.
So this is not a "top 7 gifts" list. That's coming in the next blog. This one is about something more important — why you should gift this year, especially if you have never done it before or if you skipped it last time.
International Women's Day Is Not Just a Date on the Calendar
Let's get this clear first.
March 8th is not another commercial holiday made up to sell things. It is a day that carries real weight — a day to honour the social, economic, and cultural achievements of women. It celebrates their strength, their resilience, and everything they contribute — to families, to workplaces, to society as a whole.
So when you gift someone on this day, you are not just giving a product. You are saying — "I see you. I value you. I appreciate what you do and who you are."
And if you think that's a small thing, ask any woman in your life how often she hears those words in a year.
Here Is What 14 Years of Gifting Taught Me
I have had customers message me after delivery saying things like —
"Vikram bhai, she cried when she opened it. She said nobody has ever given her something so personal."
Or — "We changed the design 3-4 times before I said yes. Your team was so patient. She absolutely loved it."
That is the power of a personalised, thoughtful gift. It is not about how expensive it is. It is about the intention behind it.
A customised gift tells her — "I took time for you. I thought about you. This was made keeping you in mind."
That feeling? You cannot buy it with a last-minute chocolate box from a petrol station.
Why Most People Skip Gifting on Women's Day (And Why That's a Mistake)
Let me be honest with you here.
Most men skip gifting on Women's Day for one of two reasons — they think it's a commercial gimmick, or they genuinely don't know what to gift. Both are solvable problems.
The first one — drop that thought. The women around you carry a lot. Your mother, your wife, your sister, your colleague — they are juggling careers, homes, relationships, and expectations every single day. One day in a year where you acknowledge that? That is not a gimmick. That is the bare minimum.
The second one — that's exactly why I am writing this. You don't need to figure it out alone.
The Emotional Weight of a Personalised Gift
Here is something I have seen over and over again in my 14 years — women remember personalised gifts for years.
A customised photo frame with a handwritten message. A mug that has her name and an inside joke. A cushion with a photo of the two of you from a trip she still talks about. A tote bag with words that describe her in ways she secretly wishes more people would say out loud.
These are not just products. They are memories made tangible.
When someone receives a personalised gift, they don't just think about the item — they think about the person who chose it. They think — "He thought about this. He remembered that moment. He knows me."
That is irreplaceable. And honestly, that is what Women's Day gifting is about at its core — not the price tag, but the thought behind it.
"But We Are Not Even That Close" — The Colleague Problem
One of the most underrated gifting moments on Women's Day is in the workplace.
That female colleague who always covers for you. The manager who went to bat for you in that difficult project. The woman in your team who always shows up, always delivers, always keeps things together.
When was the last time anyone acknowledged that?
A small, meaningful gift on March 8th — something personalised, something warm — tells her that her work doesn't go unnoticed. That she is valued beyond her job description. In a world where women still fight harder for the same recognition, that gesture matters more than you think.
This Is the Year to Actually Do Something
Look, I am not here to guilt you. I am here to be straight with you.
If the woman in your life — your mother, your wife, your sister, your friend, your colleague — has ever gifted you on your birthday, celebrated your promotion, stayed up to pack your things, made sure things at home run smoothly while you focused on your work — then she deserves a moment where she feels celebrated too.
March 8th is that moment.
And if you have never done it before, this is the year to start. Not because of social media pressure. Not because everyone else is doing it. But because she deserves to hear — loud and clear, through action — that she matters.
What Makes Zingy Gifts Different
At Zingy Gifts, we don't just take an order and ship a product. We work with you until the gift feels right. If the design needs to be changed three times, we change it three times. If you are not sure what message to write, we help you figure it out. We have done this for 1,000+ customers and we bring that same care to every single order.
Because for us, the review that matters most is not the star rating — it is when a customer says "she loved it."
