With the onset of warm spring days, many begin to think about gifts for loved ones and not so women whom they encounter at work every day, or in kindergarten, bringing their child there, or teachers at their children’s school. And also my beloved wives, mothers and grandmothers.
I would like to choose an individual gift that will definitely be needed and will not gather dust on the shelf. Sometimes you can do it yourself.
Based on various financial opportunities, we tried to provide a very wide range of gift options for March 8th.
What to give to mom and grandma on March 8th - the best gift ideas
The most important women in our lives, who make our childhood happy, interesting and wrapped in attention and care, are mother and grandmother. Therefore, I would like to give them a necessary, but at the same time feminine and pleasant gift on March 8th. The most popular, and never superfluous, is a set of jewelry made from natural stones. They can be matched to your eye color. These can be like beads with earrings. 
So is the bracelet on your hand. 
All kinds of kits for needlework and creativity. For example, for sewing. 
For embroidery. 
For making diamond paintings. 
And if a woman knows how to do household chores, give her a women's tool set. Every woman loves to take care of herself, and a skin care set will be very useful to her. 
A cosmetic bag with her favorite perfume (if you know her favorite scent) will delight its owner. 
A good, high-quality manicure set, a great gift. 
A set of shadows or lipsticks is relevant for each recipient.

It’s not for nothing that zodiac signs once appeared, each relating to its own month of the year. By frequently focusing on them, you can easily choose the right gift for any woman, knowing which of the twelve signs she belongs to.
SAMSUNG CSC Aries - People of this sign are very active and energetic; any sports equipment from a ball to jump ropes and a dumbbell will be just right. The main thing is not to forget to pack the gift beautifully.

Let's look at just a few of them, but you can always show your own ingenuity and come up with something on your own.

List of nice gifts for a girl on March 8
I thought about it for a long time, but finally decided to tell you not only about gifts made with my own hands. But also add to this wonderful article, in my opinion, a few ideas for gifts that you can give to your favorite girls.
The first thing you should pay attention to is the flowers. Any girl will be pleasantly surprised by such a surprise, and you don’t have to take an expensive bouquet; you can put together a cheaper one from tulips. Moreover, they are now grown specifically for the spring holiday and buying them is not difficult.
An option such as cosmetics is also suitable. Any girl will be pleased to receive some creams, lipsticks, mascara from a man, and it is best to present her with a card (certificate) from a specialized store so that she can choose what she needs.
A good present that will pleasantly surprise you is, of course, jewelry.
Earrings, chain or pendant will probably be the best thing for lovely ladies.
Of course, not everyone has the money to buy such expensive jewelry, but you can still think about silver items or buy beautiful jewelry.
The next great gift that ladies will be happy with is a smartphone, laptop, tablet, or, in general, some interesting gadget. Moreover, there is always a need for these things.
But the watch will simply surprise your girlfriend, especially if it is smart and depends on the gadget. Imagine when a nice lady looks at them, she will immediately have a memory of you.
Of course, a stylish mechanical wristwatch will also be a pleasant surprise.
Well, the last thing you can pay attention to is the handbag. Take a closer look at what your beloved is looking at and buy it. I hope she will be happy.
Choose gifts with all your heart, then the girl will be twice pleased.
What is not expensive, but tasteful, to present to a female colleague?

6. We tie the base of the flower with a thread and glue a green strip measuring 6x7 cm, first cutting it out in the form of cloves.
7. Since the base of the flower is thick, you need to cut it into a cone.
8. Well, the last step is to glue a 2 cm wide ribbon onto the skewer.
This way you can collect a whole bouquet.
Photo stand:
An excellent present that can amaze not only a female colleague, but any girl.
We will need:
- Polymer clay;
- Board;
- Glue gun.
1. Knead the clay and make triangles, making slits in them with a plastic card.
I hope you enjoy these wonderful ideas.
Greeting card:
Of course, you can come up with many more such original gifts, but I still wanted a postcard to take part in the gift, to do this, watch the video on how to make it.
Now I think that's enough. You have flowers, a stand and a greeting card. You can calmly go to work and give these gifts. But most importantly, don’t forget to congratulate and kiss.
And now I would like to tell you what else you can give to a female colleague, just decorate it beautifully.
1. Coffee or tea would be a great idea, especially for a work colleague.
2. Alcohol would also be a good gift; expensive wine or liqueur would be best.
3. Coffee cups are always useful for working rest (tea drinking).
4. Stationery pencils, pens, weekly planner, etc.
What should not be given to girls and women on March 8?
I would also like to tell you something that under no circumstances, even with a hint, should you give to lovely ladies. Since this can lead to her resentment and in the future - to the cessation of communication.
Personal hygiene products.
This includes shampoos, shower and intimate hygiene products, deodorants, rinses and anti-cellulite products. This may lead her to think that perhaps she smells bad or her hair is not clean enough. She can purchase all these funds herself and does not expect such a gift from you.
Products from an intimate store.
It doesn't matter what relationship you're in. This is not at all the present that the girl is waiting for. If you want to give just such a surprise, then do it on any other day.
Kitchenware.
These are items for common use. Therefore, I doubt that she will be happy with them, because everyone will use these accessories. Every woman or girl wants to have something of her own that belongs only to her.
Clothes don't fit.
It is better to buy this item by trying on. Even knowing the size of your loved one, you may not guess. Since the sizes very often do not match. Clothes can be large or small. Therefore, you will only create frustration, not celebration.
Pets.
Such gifts should not be given at all. Even if your loved one is not allergic to them, this is a big responsibility. Perhaps she prefers hamsters rather than dogs. And there is a chance that your cute pet will be running homeless on the street.

Handmade masters can create real masterpieces with their own hands, which will take their rightful place in the collection of souvenirs or useful things for the everyday life of any woman, be it a mother, a friend, a boss or a class teacher.
Let's look at the most popular gift ideas that you can make at home:
- Photo gifts. This is one of the most “correct” handmade ideas. The main thing in a handmade gift is its exclusivity. And it is unlikely that in any store you will be able to find an item with the image of the woman being gifted. Photo gifts can be made in a variety of techniques, and images are applied to different objects. Original photo collages, photo stories, comics, and “wall newspapers” are popular. If you wish, you can even build a photo frame yourself. In addition, photographs can be applied to pillows, bags, book covers, cups, clothes, and large wall panels can be made from photographs.
- Flowers for March 8. Almost no holiday is complete without flowers, and even more so on March 8th. The main thing is to find out what flowers the lady prefers. Of course, you are unlikely to be able to grow roses on a meter-long stem at home. But you can easily arrange a beautiful bouquet with your own hands. Also, recently it has become very popular to give fresh flowers in pots. The pot can be decorated with acrylic paint, wrapped in gift paper or fabric, and attached with a miniature card with wishes. An even more original gift on this day could be a bouquet of sweets. A lady with a sweet tooth is guaranteed to be delighted.
- Textile gifts. Such gifts are usually made for household use. These can be potholders, towels, napkins, aprons, made and decorated with your own hands. Textile household handmade items are usually given as gifts to close relatives of mature age - mothers, grandmothers, aunts.
- Postcards. Wishes on March 8th will become even warmer if you write them on a handmade card. There are many techniques for making postcards - paper, three-dimensional, textile, using different materials.
- Stationery. Such gifts are usually suitable for congratulating female colleagues. They should be made the same for all employees. These can be homemade coasters, cups for pens, notepads decorated with applications or photographs, personalized diaries, calendars with photos and other office attributes.
- Bijouterie. A huge selection of accessories and parts for making jewelry allows you to make your gift truly unique. You can give your girlfriends bracelets and earrings. These can be products made of beads, stones, textiles, beads.
An original do-it-yourself gift for mom on March 8
Loving mothers will be glad to see any manifestation of their children’s creativity, be it kids or independent adults. You can make a beautiful gift for March 8th with your own hands from budget materials, spending a minimum of time. Kids may need help from their elders - dad, brothers, sisters.
Craft “Flower” from cotton pads
Crafts made from cotton pads are handicrafts that the little ones can do. Of course, a flower can please your mother on a bright spring holiday. To create it you will need cotton pads, PVA glue, gouache, starch, wire, tape.
We carry out the work in the following sequence:
- We make a paste from starch and water. You will need 1 tablespoon of starch and a little water. Pour a small amount of liquid into the starch and stir. Next, pour a glass of boiling water into the solution, stirring constantly.
- We moisten the cotton pads in the resulting paste, previously cooled.
- We dry the discs on a radiator or in the open air.
- We paint them with gouache paint of the desired color. Usually it is red - this is how bright poppies are obtained.
- Cut out the shape of flower petals from the discs. You will need 5 of these parts.
- Glue the “petals” together with PVA glue. We make the middle from a piece of disk or napkin. Paint it with yellow or white paint.
- We wrap the wire with green tape. In the same way we make a couple of wire leaves. We attach the resulting “stem” to the flower.
From such flowers you can make a full-fledged artificial bouquet. Unlike the present, he will delight his mother for many years.
Sewing a vintage bag
Handmade accessories have always been highly valued. If your mother follows fashion and you know how to sew a little, then try preparing an original vintage-style bag for her as a gift. For work we will need a piece of fabric (chintz and tapestry), an unnecessary cotton belt, and a zipper.
We carry out the work in this order:
- We cut out the details of the bag. If your imagination allows, we make them “by eye” or look for a suitable model in a magazine with product patterns. The best option, which even a child can cut out, is two squares or rectangles. We make one from chintz, the second from tapestry. You can additionally cut out pockets of any shape.
- We sew pockets and handles from the finished belt to the tapestry base.
- Fold the tapestry base in half and sew the seams on the sides. Turn it right side out.
- We sew a chintz lining. To do this, fold the insides of the lining and the base together. At the top we sew the lining to the base.
- Sew a zipper on top.
Decorative bottle “Multi-colored assortment”
In every home there are probably many items that have nowhere to be used and would be a pity to throw away. You can often find beautiful empty bottles of expensive alcohol or other drinks at home. You can adapt such glass containers by making an interesting decorative element for the kitchen. And for work we only need a bottle and different types of cereals, grains, poppy seeds. Please note that it is recommended to select a transparent bottle.
We work in the following sequence:
- We remove all labels from the container. To do this, just wet the bottle under running warm water. If the paper comes off but the glue remains, use a wire brush.
- Pour cereals and grains into a dry bottle using a watering can. This must be done in an artistic random order. Cereals in contrasting colors look great. Handmade masters suggest using combinations of poppy seeds, semolina, oatmeal, millet, buckwheat, rice, and corn.
- Add cereal to the top and close the bottle tightly with a lid. The latter can be tied with a thick knitting thread.
- If you have artistic skills, you can decorate the bottle with patterns using acrylic paint. Just don’t overdo it, so as not to spoil the look of the beautifully poured cereals.
DIY candy bouquet for your beloved woman on March 8
Since ancient times, flowers and sweets have been considered a traditional gift for a beloved woman. Let's try to combine two gifts in one, creating original bouquets of sweets. They can be a stand-alone gift or go in addition to a beautiful box of chocolates. We will need in our work: chocolates such as hazelnuts or chocolate-covered almonds, crepe paper for flowers in 3 shades (green, white, light green), green tape, wire, thread, tape. We will make a spring flower - a snowdrop.
We work in this order:
- Cut strips of crepe paper. For 5 colors, we will need 5 strips of white paper (2x50 cm), 5 rectangles of light green crepe paper (5x4 cm), 2 strips of green crepe paper (2x50 cm).
- Glue the candies onto the prepared wire using glue. Add a drop of glue to the end of the candy wrapper, dip the tip of the wire into the glue and wrap the edge of the candy wrapper around the wire. You can use tape. To do this, wrap the edge of the wrapper around the wire and secure it with tape.
- Take a light green rectangle and make a wavy edge along the entire length with two fingers. We do the same with all the pieces of light green paper.
- Extend each rectangle from the center to the edge. This will create a hole for the candy.
- We divide the white strips of paper into 3 identical segments (2x16.5 cm). These will be the future snowdrop petals.
- We bend each piece of white paper in half, and at the bend we wrap half of the strip along its own axis 360 degrees. We do this operation with each segment.
- Fold the twisted strip in half at the crease. Using your fingers, bend the center of the petal from the center to the edges. We give the “petal” a convexity.
- We wrap the light green center around the candy and secure its end with tape or thread. We collect the white petals around the light green center. We do this with an overlap.
- We fix the petals with a thread around the flower.
- We cut the tips of the petals at an angle of about 45 degrees. This way the transition from stem to flower will be smooth.
- We take pieces of green crepe paper and divide them into 4 parts. Cut out a leaf from each piece. We bend each one by running a finger along the back side.
- We wrap the flower stem with tape. We make the first turn twice around the base of the flower. We wrap it overlapping, insert a leaf a little below the base, after dripping a drop of glue onto it.
- We collect ready-made snowdrops into a bouquet. If there is also a box of chocolates, then lay them out beautifully and secure them to the box with tape.
Other “flowers” are made using a similar scheme - tulips, crocuses, roses.
Photo frame for female colleagues
An exclusive handmade gift is always nicer than a purchased, faceless souvenir. Please the women around you with handmade items on March 8th. Remember that if you want to congratulate a team of women, then it is optimal to prepare several identical gifts.
An excellent gift for female colleagues will be homemade photo frames in which everyone can put their favorite photo on their desktop. We make a frame from thick cardboard. We will need the following materials: corrugated cardboard, paper for decorations, decorative elements (buttons, rhinestones, beads, shells, etc.), glue.
We work in this order:
- We cut out two parts of the frame from corrugated cardboard - the back (solid) and the front with a hole that matches the format of the photo. As a rule, the standard size is 10x15 cm.
- We measure out approximately 3-4 cm that will be needed to decorate the frame, and add it to the height and width of the future frame on both parts.
- Cut out strips of paper to decorate the front of the frame. We glue them to the cardboard with PVA glue.
- Glue the back one to the front of the frame. We do this on three sides, without gluing on top. This is how we will insert the photo inside the frame.
- We make a template from cardboard for the stand. Attach it to the back of the frame using a thin strip of paper and glue.
- We decorate the finished frame with beads, shells, seed beads, and buttons in random order. We glue them onto a paper base using PVA.
- Before presenting them to women, you can insert photographs into photo frames - some funny incidents or a group photo.
DIY memorable gift for grandmother on March 8
Souvenirs, handicrafts and gifts for March 8th are what many grandmothers expect from their grandchildren on the spring holiday. Treat them with a memorable souvenir that will not only decorate their home, but also become a useful accessory.
Stand for cups made from CDs
Grandmothers love to pamper their children and grandchildren with tea, sweets and delicacies. Therefore, practical and beautiful coasters for cups will certainly come in handy in their cozy kitchen. You can make them yourself from unnecessary CDs. In our work we will need discs, corrugated cardboard, glue, putty, bright paper napkins, varnish, acrylic paint.
We make the stands in the following sequence:
- On a piece of cardboard, trace the disc with a pencil and cut out a roundness with a knife.
- We degrease the surfaces of two disks with alcohol and apply glue (such as “Titanium” or “Moment”) to both. We glue the disks with a piece of cardboard like a sandwich: disk, cardboard, disk. We place the future stand under the press for a couple of hours.
- Cover the hole in the center of the disks with putty. We do the same with the ends. Leave them until the putty is completely dry.
- We sand the discs with sandpaper and cover them with acrylic primer. Let it dry.
- We glue paper napkins onto the workpiece on both sides with PVA glue.
- When the napkin is dry, rub it along the end with fine sandpaper. This way we will cut off the excess parts of the napkin.
- We cover the ends of the stand with acrylic paint, and the surfaces on both sides with acrylic varnish.
Using this technology, you can make a whole set of coasters - using the same pattern or different ones.
Knitting a cover for a cup
On cool evenings, your grandmother will be able to warm up comfortably with a cup of tea if you knit a cover for the cup yourself. Such a knitted product will add a touch of warmth to the tea drinking process and will remind you of your beloved grandchildren. If you have knitting skills, stock up on the following materials: knitting needles No. 3 (3 pieces), yarn (wool mixture) of two colors, hook No. 3, needle, button, rhinestones.
We work according to this scheme:
- We knit air loops. Their number depends on the diameter of the mug. Therefore, it is recommended to always have on hand a cup on which to knit a “fur coat”. We periodically try on knitting to the mug from handle to handle.
- We knit the second row single crochet.
- We knit the third row with one double crochet.
- We knit the fourth row with double crochets.
- We knit the fifth row single crochet and then repeat along the entire height of the cup.
- We measure the height of the cover to the height of the cup. After the “fur coat” is ready, cut the threads and hide it.
- Prepare a buttonhole. To do this, we knit 15 air loops. And we knit another row without a double crochet.
- We sew the finished loop onto one end of the cover. On the second - a button.
- We decorate the case with a pattern of rhinestones. We glue them with Moment glue.
The finished case can be given as a gift along with the cup. This way you definitely won’t go wrong with the size.
How to make a gift on March 8th - watch the video:
Handmade crafts for your beloved women can become the most memorable gift on March 8th. Our step-by-step instructions explain the basic design. As you work, you can bring in your own creative ideas, taking into account the tastes of your mothers, grandmothers, sisters, girlfriends, and colleagues.
One of the first spring holidays is March 8th. This is a wonderful reason to say “thank you!” to your family and friends! and give them gifts, warmed by the warmth of your hands.
The traditional shades of this spring holiday are red, green, pink, yellow. The main symbols and themes are flowers, sun, spring and the number eight. But before you start hand-made creativity, it is advisable to find out about the woman’s preferences: perhaps her potholder has gone bad, her apron has torn, her favorite vase has broken, or there is nowhere to hang her keys. Receiving a necessary and timely gift is doubly pleasant. Here are a few simple ideas:
1. Original bouquet
Instead of fresh flowers, which can quickly wither, on March 8, you can give an unusual bouquet made from scrap materials. Here are some simple options:
This technique is very popular and is actively used in home decor. Even children can easily master it. With the help of several sheets of colored paper you can “wind” a beautiful bouquet of tulips.
Candies
You can attach candies to the petals of multi-colored paper flowers made using applique. In order for them to hold up well, the sweets should not be too heavy, and it is better to choose thick cardboard as a material for flowers.
Textile
It is easy to twist beautiful tulips from soft colored felt, which can be attached to wooden skewers, also wrapped in green cloth. For the best effect, such a bouquet should be packed in a beautiful wrapper, like for real flowers.
Foot and hand prints
Any mother will be very pleased to receive as a gift a bouquet consisting of multi-colored hand and foot prints of her beloved children. In addition, making such a present is very simple.
Fruits
Fancyly carved fruits on skewers or whole bouquets of fruits look no less attractive than flowers. Bananas, strawberries, pineapple, dense pears, watermelon and melon hold their shape well. On sale you can find special devices for cutting fruits and vegetables into shapes, which can be an additional gift.
Topiary
One of the most popular souvenirs for this holiday. There are different techniques for creating it, among which you can choose a simple method and master it. For example, pieces of foam rubber can be sheathed with multi-colored scraps of fabric, making voluminous flower petals from them. They fix it on a wooden stick or wire, wrapped in cloth and planted in a container with sand or stones.
2. Decorative vases
This home item is always relevant, especially on holidays, when women are given a lot of flowers. So that she doesn’t worry about where to put the next bouquet, you can give flowers along with an original hand-made vase. What should it be made from?
Any jar can become an elegant and beautiful vase if it is decorated in an original way. Options for its decoration: ribbons, beads, lace, buttons, colored paper and other available little things.
Colour pencils
An ordinary tin can (for example, from peaches) can be decorated with colored pencils, tightly attached to each other using beautiful tape and glue. Thanks to the variegated shades, the pencils look very cheerful and spring-like.
Discs with photos
CDs are not very popular these days. But their boxes can be used to create an exclusive vase with photographs. You only need four packages and four photographs, which will especially please the woman. The boxes are then held together using glue or tape.
Pots with grass
Ordinary lawn grass of a lush green color refreshes the atmosphere of the room well and gives a spring mood. It is easy to care for and can be planted in almost any container. But containers decorated with photographs of children look funny and cheerful: the blades of grass will resemble the children’s constantly growing hair.
3. Calendar for memory
This gift is both useful and memorable. Each month you can decorate it with photographs or drawings dear to a woman’s heart, which will make the calendar an especially expensive and touching gift.
What woman doesn’t dream of getting breakfast in bed?! To add charm to this beautiful gesture, breakfast can be served on a homemade decorative tray. The basis for it can be ordinary cut boards or parts of old furniture. It is enough to decorate them, complement them with tiled decor, painting, decoupage techniques, etc. It is easy to attach handles from any furniture to the surface of the tray.
5. Holiday wreaths
They are relevant not only for New Year or Christmas - a beautiful decorative wreath can be an excellent gift for March 8th and a winning interior decoration. It will look good both on the door and on the wall.
Natural flowers
Wreaths made from numerous live tulips or mimosa branches look gorgeous. It is convenient to attach them to a dense round base made of several layers of cardboard.
Candies
Candies stick well to the same base, pre-wrapped in thick fabric. You can complete the composition with a contrasting satin ribbon.
Lamps
Used lamps can also be used. A wreath with them looks like a stylish design item for the home. It is better to choose colors for painting lamps that are well suited to a specific interior style.
Pompoms
Such a colorful wreath made of small multi-colored pompoms or balls, made using the felting technique, immediately attracts attention and lifts your spirits. You can complement them with a gift scarf or scarf.
