What is National Girlfriend Day? And Exactly how to Celebrate it in Cape Town!

💕 National Girlfriend Day.... August 1

A day for celebrating love, laughter... and crafting real memories together.

While it’s not an official holiday, National Girlfriend Day has grown into a global celebration of romantic partners, emotional support systems, and all the amazing women who inspire us. It’s celebrated every year on August 1st, a chance to show appreciation, plan a surprise, or just say "thank you for being my person."

💡 Where did it come from?

The exact origin is a bit blurry, but most sources trace it back to the early 2000s...likely created by online communities or greeting card companies. Over the years, it evolved into a mix of:

• Romantic partner appreciation

• Best friend love between women

• Social media tributes with #NationalGirlfriendDay trending worldwide

✋ Want a truly unique way to celebrate?

This year, skip the dinner and roses or nightclub routine. Book a 2handsy experience and cast your connection in stone...literally.

Whether you're:

• A new couple

• A long term pair

• Or even besties who’ve been through it all...
