On March 8th, International Women's Day, a street poll conducted in Estonia gathered public opinions on how people surprise the women in their lives on this special day. Traditionally, the day is marked by recognizing women's social, economic, cultural, and political achievements and emphasizes the importance of gender equality. The poll included various perspectives, ranging from those anticipating thoughtful gifts to others who prefer flowers or handcrafted items.

The responses revealed a variety of expectations among participants. Some individuals expressed their desire to provide special gifts, indicating they might have planned ahead for the day. In contrast, others voiced more modest expectations, with one elderly woman from Tammsaare Park sharing that she does not expect anything, as her family currently has only daughters. However, she remains enthusiastic about celebrating the day by treating herself to activities like walking, visiting a market, and baking a cake.

Moreover, younger respondents, particularly girls wandering near flower sales in Tallinn's Old Town, stressed the importance of creating memorable experiences rather than just receiving material gifts. This divergence in attitudes reflects the broader cultural perspective on honoring women, highlighting a mix of traditional and modern sentiments surrounding International Women's Day in Estonia.
