Men present flowers, cards, sweets and small delicate gifts to women.\u00a0 You may hear music greetings over the radio. Various competitions are held and prizes are presented to women on that day. Usually, various shopping malls and well-known brands hold promotions, announce discounts on certain goods, present gift certificates and bonus cards that day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, not only women have their holiday. Recently, another unofficial holiday has appeared on the Polish calendar. It is Men&#8217;s Day, which is celebrated on the 10<sup>th<\/sup> March. The tradition to celebrate Men&#8217;s Day started in Trinidad and Tobago in 1999. The essence of the holiday lies in the idea of gender equality. The idea of the holiday was first supported in Australia, the Caribbean, North America, Europe, Asia, and then the UN and UNESCO supported the idea of the Men&#8217;s Day. Today, Men&#8217;s Day is recognized as an official holiday in more than 60 countries. Although World Men&#8217;s Day is officially celebrated on the 19<sup>th<\/sup> November, in Poland the 10<sup>th<\/sup> March has been adopted for Men\u2019s Day celebration. This holiday is not as popular as &#8220;women&#8217;s&#8221; yet, but it is a good opportunity to congratulate and give a symbolic souvenir to a loved one or a friend.<\/p>\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-7431\" data-postid=\"7431\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-7431 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!-- \/themify_builder_content -->\n<div class=\"ptb-search-container\" style=\"display: none;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the first rays of the sun, you can smell spring in the air.
