What Is Singles’ Day?
Singles’ Day, celebrated on November 11th, began as a playful nod to singlehood in China. The date 11/11 perfectly captures the essence of being solo, with each ‘1’ symbolizing individuality. Over time, it has evolved into a day to embrace self-love, whether by spending time with friends, indulging in some pampering or simply celebrating your independence. It’s a joyful reminder to live life unapologetically on your own terms!
How to Celebrate Singles Day?
1. Take Yourself on a Date
Who says you need a significant other to enjoy a fantastic date night? After all, nobody knows and understands what you love more than you. So, why not give yourself the ultimate Singles’ Day treat by donning your favorite outfit and jewelry, and dining at that restaurant you’ve been eyeing? Order your favorite food and drinks and indulge in a gastronomic adventure that tantalizes your taste buds. In fact, it’s your night, so don’t be shy about ordering that extra dessert… You’re worth every sweet bite!
2. Give Yourself a Spa Day
In our humble opinion, relaxation is the name of the self-love game. And what better way to play it than by treating yourself to some TLC at the spa?
Creating a spa experience at home can feel equally good. Simply dim the lights, cue the relaxing music (bonus points if you can manage some Enya) and draw yourself a warm bubble bath. Throw in a DIY facial and pedicure too! Sounds like heaven, doesn’t it?
Now that’s what we call loving your single life!
3. Treat Yourself to Some Singles’ Day Jewelry Gifts
What’s better than receiving jewelry, you ask? Gifting yourself some self-love jewelry, of course!
Singles’ Day presents the perfect opportunity to shop necklaces for women as well as other sparkling beauties for your jewelry box. We’re talking gemstones (as colorful as your personality) like emerald jewelry, a rose quartz or pink sapphire ring or even a ruby bracelet. After all, not only do they make for stunning accessories but they also symbolize self-love.
Want something more personalized? Then, consider shopping for birthstone jewelry, name necklaces or zodiac jewelry. Apart from enhancing your style, these pieces also speak volumes about your unique identity.
And guess what? They even make great gifts for single people. So, if you’re looking for something to give your single ladies, trust these items to get the job done.
P.S. You can get them at a discount during our Singles Day Sale too!

4. Have a Little Gratitude
NGL, in a world where we’re always looking to reach the next milestone, feeling grateful is often forgotten. So, take this day to appreciate where you are while also being hopeful for the future. Reflect on all the good times in your life. Think about your favorite memories – the hilarious meetings you had with your friends or even something small like having been able to survive a big day at the office without losing your cool!
It’ll do you good. We promise.
5. Staycay Your Way to Happiness
Who needs a fancy vacation with a significant other when you can have a glorious staycation all by yourself? Book a night at a local hotel and let the adventure begin by falling on the oh-so-cozy bed followed by ordering that extra-large, extra-everything pizza that you’ve been dreaming of. After all, the point of this staycation is to pamper yourself to the max. Spend hours in the bathtub and pretend you’re royalty for a night.
6. Give Your Wardrobe a Makeover
Someone wise once said, “When you look good, you feel good.” And we have to agree!
Declutter your wardrobe of clothes that don’t fit anymore (making Marie Kondo proud), create new outfits by mixing the pieces you really love or even buy a couple of new items as a treat to yourself. After all, nothing says ‘feeling myself’ quite like a new outfit.
7. Do a Digital Detox
IMO, Singles’ Day is all about being in the moment, so don’t ruin it by spending the entire day on your phone. Sure, it’s tempting to post your fancy hotel room and your new wardrobe on Instagram to make your friends jealous, but remember, this day is about YOU. So, set your screens aside, put Netflix on pause and give social media a rest instead. Use this time to read a book, listen to your most-loved music, meditate and find your Zen. Trust us, your brain will thank you for it later!
