Five last-minute ways to mark International Men’s Day

International Men’s Day (IMD) is a globally-recognized day celebrating men across the world. It is commemorated annually on November 19. And if you check your calendar, that’s today.

The IWD recognizes and celebrates the cultural, political, and socioeconomic achievements of men and their positive contributions to the world.

From the explanation of the IWD, you can understand how important this is for the men in our lives.

Although there’s only a short notice, you can still celebrate the important men in your life tomorrow.

These five ideas will guide you through your brainstorming for ideas.

Write A Heartfelt Message To The Significant Men In Your Life

 What better way to celebrate the significant men in y0ur life than in words. Don’t worry, you do not have to be a skilled writer or romantic to nail this. However, you’ll need to take some minutes off your schedule to attend to this.

In your free time, type or write out the first draft of your thoughts. A good way to begin is to list out the points you’d want to address in your message. Since this is a goodwill message, your list should be composed of the good qualities of whoever you’re writing to.

Keep your points simple, easy-to-read, and honest. More importantly, compose your message in a friendly tone. The good thing about this idea is that you could make use of digital notepads or paperback books to compose your message.

When you are through with composing your message, read through twice or more. This will allow you make the necessary corrections so that your message is coherent.

Buy Your Male Colleagues/Boss Lunch

You can also cook something if you’re big on cooking. This idea will be most useful for those who’ll be at work tomorrow. A nice gesture you can make to celebrate the men in your office is to buy them lunch.

Order a nice takeout meal for them and have it taken to their tables. If you want to go all the way, you could include a short hand-written note to each guy’s meal. Depending on the size of your office and understanding with your colleagues, you could put in money together to get your colleagues lunch.

Extend this gesture to your male bosses as well. Alternatively, you could get other gift items for them.

Donate To A Men-Only Cause

I honestly have no particular platforms in mind but I’m pretty sure there are male-only organizations catering to the welfare of men. Consider donating to organizations like prostrate cancer, male-only professionals, clubs, and health-related organizations.

Results from a simple Google Search on male-related organizations can blow your mind. And most of these sorts of websites will usually have account details or instructions on how to make donations.

You never know who you’ll be helping with your act of kindness.

Spend This Evening With The Significant Males In Your Life

What better way to celebrate IMD than with your favourite men? Find a location after work tomorrow and invite the significant men in your life.

You could use a simple bar, restaurant, lounge and invite the special men who you want to celebrate. I won’t recommend any places as I have no benchmark to follow. However, pick a place that works well for everyone involved and is easily accessible by all.

Show-Off The Important Men On Social Media

 A great way to celebrate the men in your life is to flaunt them on social media. You should begin to search through your photo gallery for the pictures you want to make use of.

Get ready to pepper your followers with pictures of the men worthy of mention on IMD.

I’ll call it a wrap here. Trust these ideas though simple, come in handy for you.

And to all the men out there, here’s an official toast to you.

For today, you can also send in your shoutouts to the important men in your life in the comments.
