Nurturing mothers, responsible daughters, reliable friends, inspiring bosses, diligent employees and more– the women in our lives are always there for us in one way or another. But what we do not see is the pressure they face in constantly juggling all these roles.
Women's Day is the perfect opportunity to show our appreciation for them and all they do. No matter what you give them as a gift, it may never be enough to express how important they are in our lives; however, these gifts might come close.

Kindles are the top pick for the girls who love to read. If they do not have one yet already, then it is definitely on their wishlist. This e-reader is almost an essential for every reader, especially if they have a busy lifestyle.
Imagine reading 'War and Peace' and compressing the behemoth of a book into a palm-sized tab. This device is about as big as your hand and weighs almost nothing, making it easy to slip into your purse and read on the go. It has an e-ink display, which makes it easier on the eyes for those who love to stay immersed for hours on end in a book. What further elevates the reading experience is the option to adjust brightness, allowing you to read in the dark.
So, whether it is for reading during leisure time or to help catch up with reading from school or work, the e-reader will make her life a lot easier.

Menstrual cup
One of the more difficult parts of women's lives is having to navigate through their responsibilities while suffering from period cramps, mood swings, nausea, and more.
While period cramps are hard to eliminate, menstrual cups can help take out a lot of the pain and hassle of periods. In contrast to the traditional pads, menstrual cups are much less irritating. They are less prone to accidents and have a longer wear time.
But what takes the cake is their eco-friendliness. As menstrual cups are reusable, they cut out the environmental waste of pads and save more money in the long run.

Glamscape's press on nail set
Having pretty nails is quite tricky. In recent times, it has become trendy to have extra long, bedazzled nails. However, jobs that require a lot of typing or manual labour make it inconvenient.
On top of that, having nails professionally done is quite expensive. A simple set of acrylics can set you back Tk5,000, and a lot of people do not have that kind of money to spare on their nails.
Press on nails lets girls easily switch between natural, short and long nails. Glamscape takes this a step further by making press on nails affordable for frequent use. Their sets range from approximately Tk300 to Tk900, which is a huge difference from professional acrylics.
The brand offers sets in mirror chromes, cute patterns and different finishes. They even have options for children in adorable patterns.
Price: Starts from around Tk300
