While it might just seem like any other Thursday, if you’ve got a daughter at home, hug her a little tighter. Today, on National Daughter’s Day, we celebrate the lovely ladies who make the world go round and honor them for the things that make them who they are. Any parent knows raising a daughter or a child in general is no walk in the park, and while that little girl you once brought home in a tiny pink blanket has certainly caused a gray hair or two over the years, today we celebrate the special bond we share with the strong, smart and amazing women in our lives. Here, we offer some ideas on how to spend National Daughter’s Day, a few sweet gift ideas to remind her how much she means to you and a handful of money-saving deals to help you celebrate!
How to celebrate National Daughter’s Day
While some might chalk National Daughter’s Day up to nothing but a Hallmark holiday, we don’t see anything wrong with celebrating the women who make us mothers—regardless of what day it is. Here, consider a few of these ideas when thinking about how you might honor your girls today.
Mother-daughter pampering date
There’s nothing that brings girls together like self-care, so setting even just an hour after a long work day aside to stop off for a quick manicure or pedicure together is a sweet way of showing your daughter she’s special and important to you today. Or, if you wish to save money, plan an at-home spa experience! There’s nothing a store-bought face mask, some nail polish, snacks and a movie can’t make better!
Mother-daughter lunch or dinner date
When life gets busy, which is almost always, it can be hard to set time aside to sit, unwind for a bit and just chat over a meal. However, if you can plan a National Daughters Day lunch date in between work or even a dinner date in which you grab their favorite food, it’s a nice way of showing you care. And while not everyone might have the luxury of living close enough to their daughters to see them on a whim, setting time aside for a virtual dinner or lunch date over FaceTime or Zoom in which you share a meal together works more magic than you’d think.
Mother-daughter shopping trip
While National Daughter’s Day certainly doesn’t require spending money, we’re never gonna turn down window shopping! If you’re looking to grab your gal a little treat in honor of her today, swing by her favorite store together and let her pick something out. If you’re looking to just spend some quality time with one another, there’s nothing wrong with hitting the mall with one another, getting some steps in and looking around!
