Refreshing ways to celebrate International Women’s Day

International Women’s Day is on the horizon – 8 March 2025 – so it’s time to take action and celebrate the strong women in your life.

The annual International Women’s Day celebration is when the world shines a light on the achievements of women all over the planet. This year, the theme is ‘Accelerate Action’ and the focus is on pushing forward break down gender biases and barriers’*.

Accelerating action is something that we at Rockit are all for! So in the interests of driving change, we’ve pulled together some fresh ideas that will help you make a difference this International Women’s Day.

#1 Get active with the next generation

You can help boost young girls’ participation and achievement in sports by getting moving with your young daughter, niece, neighbour or friend. Enjoy a game of tennis, go for a jog outdoors, or simply stand on the sidelines cheering them on as they play their favourite sport. Don’t forget to grab a tube of Rockit™ apples, they’re the perfect post-activity energy booster.

#2 Share your creative juices

Encourage the creative and artistic talents of future generations by sharing your craft skills with young women in your life. Get out the paints and pens and whip up some artwork, choose sewing, make some sliced Rockit rounds, or bake and decorate some apple muffins. Fun hack: munch your way through a Rockit tube or family pack and then upcycle the packaging to create a handy craft caddy.

#3 Work on mind and body strength

While any exercise is good exercise, spending time lifting weights is particularly beneficial. Not only does it get you stronger and fitter, but lifting weights will lift your mood too. It will also make your bones stronger, which is particularly important for women because as women age their bone density drops much more rapidly than men and the risk of osteoporosis rises. Top top: If you work out with others you’ll likely find exercise more enjoyable and push yourself that little harder.

#4 Share a treat with others

There’s no such thing as too much kindness, so take action to show other women in your life that you appreciate them. Get together for a drink (we love an apple cider or apple matcha latte), bake them a cake or share a sweet treat like this delicious apple strawberry dessert.
