March 1st is World Compliment Day

March 1 is celebrated as World Compliment Day, a day that aims to address the “basic human need for recognition and appreciation”.


Make someone's day by praising them.

Started in the Netherlands by Hans Poortvliet in 2001, the day is now celebrated in many European countries including Norway and Belgium.

Spread Joy and Positivity
According to the official website of the unofficial holiday, Poortvliet created the day as a way to spread happiness and increase productivity. The website encourages people to use words instead of gifts as a way to praise and appreciate people. The idea is to create the “most positive day in the world”.
