International Women's Day is approaching. Therefore, Lifehacker offers the representatives of the stronger sex several ideas on how to congratulate all the girls at work and not be left with empty wallets.

Buy princess cupcakes

You can order cupcakes with princesses, Barbies, flowers or butterflies. Come to work early and spread sweet presents at the girls' workplaces. Buy and prepare coffee and tea, meet in the morning, kiss and say pleasant, very pleasant words. If you don’t know what cupcakes are, then ordinary cute cakes will do. But we believe that cupcakes are just for you. If you also want to taste cupcakes, then we offer instructions on how to eat them to help you. You're a life hacker, aren't you?

Mount photo collages

As a geek, you will definitely like this recipe. We are looking for a program for creating collages (Lifehacker has reviews of 100,500 such programs, so choose any for any operating system). Then we go to social networks "VKontakte" or Facebook and get beautiful, beautiful photos from the profiles of all the girls in your department.

The next step is to make collages using the second with the first and get the files that we will print on paper (yes, on paper). To do this, we order in advance (!!!) or go to the nearest print shop. At the exit, we get photos that decorate the workplaces of our beauties, walls or the most central place of the office. Well, you get the idea - according to the situation.

You can also make a slideshow from collages and spin it on a huge screen in the middle of the office.

Send homemade GIFs

Lifehacker has reviews of many services for creating gifs. Armed with one of these tools and photos of cute employees, you can overlay images on templates available in the database of such services. Imagine how Maria Ivanovna, your chief accountant, appears in the form of Grigory Leps performing his best song. You know what to do. Ready-made animated cards, together with congratulations, must be sent to the girls by working mail in advance (the night before or on March 8 in the morning). It will be fun.

Bake pancakes

A survey of girls showed that boys bake pancakes well for some reason. So, like this: we find a pancake maker from someone from the male staff of the company at home, during the holiday we move it to the office and right there, yes, we bake pancakes for girls with a variety of fillings to choose from. Inexpensive and exciting story! Truth.

Buy everyone on a sprig of mimosa

Everything is simple here. Not roses. Not tulips. Not carnations. It is mimosa. Tie a small twig with a beautiful bow and put on the table, adding, for example, a small jar of jam. So sweet!

Dress up as superheroes and kiss everyone

We found out that ordering superhero costumes on the Internet. Do just that, or if time is running out, go to the appropriate offline store. Armed with your purchases, dress up as Spider-Man, Batman or Captain America. Entertain your girls, take pictures with them, scare them, give them tea, arrange all sorts of disgraces when the hour of congratulations comes. Our editor-in-chief personally tried it: this is how it works.

Arrange a flash mob on social networks

You have a designer, right? (If not, then see the advice above on how to make collages on your own.) So, instruct the designer to draw a beautiful picture with congratulations to your girls, which you suddenly and simultaneously place on Facebook and / or VKontakte. You sit there for half a working day, right? So, when your entire male team does This, the girls from your department will have a lot of records of relevant content in the feed. And it will be very, very unexpected and pleasant. We checked.

Buy cinema tickets

Everybody loves cinema. We would advise you to give your colleagues movie tickets, but specifically right now, nothing cool and win-win like "Love Real" or "Titanic" is going on. Therefore, here you will need to decide on your own. help you. Give tickets for the coming weekend. We hint: two each.

Dress up as cleaners and remove desktops

Working noon. All of a sudden, cleaning ladies (you) in appropriate clothes, armed with buckets, mops and rags, appear out of nowhere. They scurry around the office, put things in order, clean up unnecessary things, wipe tables, clean monitor screens with a special liquid, take out flowers from their bosoms, say cute nonsense to the ladies and leave in an unknown direction. It would be great to add some cool music. Well, you get the idea.

Arrange a striptease

You can not completely undress. You can undress in different ways. You can do this alone in front of everyone. You can do it collectively. You can do it during the day. You can do this in the evening, when there is the main celebration. You don't have to. In general, everything is possible!

Go for a walk instead of work

If you have a small friendly team and have a couple of hours of free time at lunchtime on March 8th, then you can rent one of those wonderful cars used by the newlyweds (limousine? Yes, he!) And immerse everyone in it. You might want to bring some champagne and flowers with you. It probably makes sense to take a ride through the beautiful places in your city. Those who have tried this confirm that the idea works. Go for it!

The life hacker is trying to collect on its pages all-all-all advice on how to make our life better. So, if you have some of your own original and proven ways to congratulate girls at work, then they should be in the comments under this text. Holiday greetings!
