Gift Baskets For Her Take Over This Women's Day

March 01, 2011 (PRLEAP.COM) Lifestyle News
GiftBasketsOverseas.com, the experts in international gift delivery, today announced its expanded online catalog full of Spring flowers, gourmet chocolates, premium wines, and over-stuffed gift baskets specially prepared for Women's Day, the time-honored Russian holiday that has spread all over the world.

The 8th of March stands out especially in Russia, the CIS, and China, where Women's Day is an official holiday set aside to celebrate the wisdom, beauty, and unconditional love of special women-mothers, wives, girlfriends, daughters, and even colleagues-by showering them with attention, admiration, gift hampers, and flowers.

Official Women's Day celebrations date back to 1911 and started with Clara Zetkin - a peaceful visionary who fought for women's rights, anti-war policies, and fair practices for the working class. Convinced that women and workers deserved expanded rights, she founded the Social-Democratic Women's Movement in Germany, edited the women's newspaper Equality, and led the Women's Office for the Social Democratic Party of Germany. The political roots of Women's Day are still remembered in most countries where it is celebrated, but it has also become a day to say "Thank you" to women by sending them gifts.

"Thanks to people like Clara Zetkin, women have more of a voice in the world than they've ever had, and they are becoming stronger," says David Skol, Chief Gift Officer at GiftBasketsOverseas.com. "What better way to remember their struggles and validate their special qualities than by setting aside a day especially to shower women with gifts?"

While it is customary to give sweets, gourmet treats, and spa gifts, flowers are the traditional complement to Women's Day gifts. Red tulips are particularly prized because they represent renewal, friendship, and love, and yellow mimosas are common because they symbolize vitality, joy, and wisdom, but tradition doesn't have to tie customers down; any vibrant spring flowers are ideal for a Women's Day bouquet.

Women's Day Gift Baskets from www.GiftBasketsOverseas.com are masterfully designed to show your passion, gratitude, friendship, and love with elegance, beauty, and unmatched quality not only this Women's Day, but also on any romantic occasion. Visit their online catalog to order.
