Compliment Day: the day for a sincere compliment
World Compliment Day, on March 1st, is the perfect moment to surprise someone with something money can’t buy: a genuine compliment, a good feeling. A small stream of words with a big impact. And that’s exactly what we, as Complimentenmakers®, specialize in. Of course, we’d love it if everyone gave compliments every day—but this day is a great reminder to tell someone just how valuable they are.
Because everyone wants to be seen. Even those who claim they don’t. A well-placed compliment lifts anyone off the ground. We are a kind of “special force” of professional compliment-givers who see you instantly – and truly. That’s special, because you often don’t notice what makes you so fun, unique, or inspiring. That’s why we write a sweet, short portrait of you on the spot. A portrait that touches the heart. And that you can keep.
Because really, we’re giving you as a gift to yourself.
What is National Compliment Day?
National Compliment Day is an annual international day dedicated to giving compliments. No commercial fuss, no balloons or discount codes. Just words. Words that matter, because they’re genuine. And personal.
Whether you surprise a colleague, client, neighbor or stranger — a compliment opens something. In the other person, and in yourself. Of course, the best habit is to give compliments every day, but on Compliment Day, it feels extra special.
When is World Compliment Day (2026–2028)?
That’s simple: every year on March 1st. Compliment Day 2025 was on Saturday March 1, 2025. And you can already mark the upcoming Compliment Days in your calendar:

Send a card on Compliment Day!
A compliment card may be small, but it feels grand. It says: I truly thought of you for a moment. On National Compliment Day, such a card becomes a tangible gift made of words – something that ends up on someone’s desk, or stays tucked away in a drawer for years. Precisely because it’s personal. And sincere. A card expresses what we often feel, but rarely say. That’s what makes it special. Because it looks beyond achievements or superficial likes. A meaningful compliment on a card says: I see you.
And when someone feels seen, they start to see more in others too. Compliments are contagious.
That’s why we’re here – not just on Compliment Day, March 1st, but all year round. At events, at celebrations, in the workplace. Through workshops, and through the mail. With words that resonate. With portraits that lift you up. And with an approach that stays with you for a long time.
Compliment Day for colleagues: strengthen team spirit at work
World Compliment Day is the perfect moment to reflect on what colleagues mean to one another. Because how often do we really say it? That you appreciate someone’s calm approach. Or how helpful it is that they always think along with you. Just a few sincere words can instantly shift the atmosphere at work in a positive direction.
Invite the Compliment Makers to create live compliment portraits of your team, or take part in a Compliment Workshop together with your colleagues. It’s a powerful boost for job satisfaction, connection, and team dynamics — and it all starts with something very small: a compliment.
