Women's Day gifts for 8 March: for colleagues, mum, teacher
Why not to wait with Women's Day gifts
Demand jumps around 8 March: flowers get more expensive, popular gift sets sell out and couriers cannot keep up. So send your request two to three weeks ahead, especially if you need a quantity, special packaging or cards with names.
Also decide the scale. For one person you can choose something personal. For 15 women colleagues people usually pick identical small gifts: a small plant with chocolates, tea, a candle, a mini skincare set.
If the gifts are for a team, agree the format early. Separate bags with names are easier to hand out than one big set. And for your mum or a teacher, add a warm handwritten card, since that is what people remember most.
What to put in your request
- for whom — mum, colleagues, a teacher, a class, a friend;
- number of gifts — for example, 15;
- budget — per gift or for all together;
- contents — a flower, chocolates, tea, cosmetics, a keepsake;
- packaging — kraft box, bag, ribbon;
- personalisation — a card with a name, a message, a logo;
- delivery date — by 7 March or a specific day;
- delivery city — office or home address.
Example: “I need 15 gifts for women colleagues for 8 March: a small potted plant and a box of chocolates in a kraft box with a personalised card. Budget up to ₱380 per gift. Davao City, delivery to the office by 7 March.”
How it works on BlaBlaPrice
You send one request and get replies from florists, gift shops and craftspeople. Each offer shows what is included, what it costs and whether they can deliver by your date. Sellers can see where they stand and adjust their terms to your request. Your phone number stays hidden, and the rules are explained on the “How it works” page.
What to look at when comparing
- Ask whether the seller guarantees delivery on the day you need, not “within the week”.
- For fresh flowers, ask whether they will be in bud, and what happens if the flowers you want are not available.
- For a batch of gifts, ask for a photo of the finished sample. Presentation varies a lot between sellers.
- Find out whether delivery is included in the price and in what time slot the courier will arrive.
Common mistakes
The most common is writing “something up to ₱380” with no contents and getting offers you cannot compare. The second is forgetting to check when someone will be in the office to receive the gifts. The third is ordering flowers on the last day, when prices are highest.
