National Girlfriends Day

Date When Celebrated : This holiday is always observed on August 1

National Girlfriends Day is a special day, indeed! It is her special day, a time to celebrate, spoil and pamper her. You might begin, by celebrating the fact that you have an awesome girl, as wonderful and special as her, to call your girlfriend. After all, look what she has to put up with!!

Some people may say this special day is not needed, as a girlfriend should be treated nicely, and in a special way, every day of the year. This day is an opportunity to go beyond nice... all the way to spoiled and pampered.

There are so many ways to celebrate National Girlfriends Day. Are you drawing a blank? Typical guy. Here are just a few ideas:

• Take her to see a "chick flick"

• Simply tell her you appreciate all the things she does. Give her some specific examples.

• Don't hesitate to shower her with a card, flowers, perfume or other gifts.

• Don't let her lift a single pretty finger to work today. Today, she is a woman of leisure.

• Give her the Television Controller. This, in and of itself, is a huge gesture.

• Take her out to dinner.

• Give her a back massage. It just might result in instant gratification.

Guys, whatever your plans for National Girlfriends Day are, make sure to do it up in a big way. Your girlfriend has a long memory. She will certainly remember what you did when National Boyfriends Day comes along.
