Friday, March 1st is National Compliment Day! This day is all about sincerity, personal attention, and expressed appreciation. Giving compliments sounds easy, but do you really do it? GENTS gives you tips so that you are sure to receive compliments. In addition, we of course also help you with giving compliments on National Compliment Day.
Since 2003, National Compliment Day has been celebrated on the first day of March. This day was created to weave a little more positivity into daily life. Why couldn’t we be kind to each other when someone, for example, looks good? Actually, we only give compliments when something goes well – and even then, not everyone does it systematically. That is quite strange when you know that it is a human need to be appreciated. GENTS therefore fully supports National Compliment Day. Today we give you tips on how you can easily receive compliments and then give them to others. Make this National Compliment Day a success too!

Receiving and of course also giving
‘Who does good, meets good.’ If you want to receive compliments on National Compliment Day, you must also be willing to give them. Since complimenting does not go smoothly for everyone, GENTS also gives tips here:
- Make concrete what you find special about that person. Simply state what it is that makes him/her deserve a compliment. Try not to make remarks that could apply to just any other person. You really have to make the compliment personal on National Compliment Day.
- Compliment someone in a way that suits you. On National Compliment Day, you do not have to compliment someone face to face. You may do it in writing, singing, or even shouting. Whatever you want!
- Keep it realistic. In other words, do not exaggerate. Receiving a compliment is nice, but it should not be overdone. When you give a compliment, it is mainly important that you are sincere. That is what National Compliment Day is all about!
