At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
National Singles Day is an excuse to celebrate single life and recognize singles for their contributions to society. This day is celebrated all over the United States of America.
This day is celebrated primarily by the single population of the country. Even those who are not single themselves celebrate this day by showering love and appreciation on their single friends or family members. Furthermore, the Buckeye Singles Council, a well-known organization dedicated to single people, also takes part in this day.
This special holiday to celebrate one's single status was first started in the '80s. However, during that time, the day was celebrated on a different date.
In 2017, National Singles Day was shifted to be celebrated on a Saturday that occurs during National Singles Week. National Singles Week spans over the third full week and is dedicated to highlighting successful single living.
National Singles Day was started by the Buckeye Singles Council, located in Columbus, Ohio. The Buckeye Singles Council was also responsible for starting National Singles Week.
The popularity of this week prompted the U.S. Census Bureau to release statistics about the number of single people in the country. This had never been done before. In 2017, the Bureau reported that nearly half of the US population is comprised of single people.
Apart from the history of National Singles Day, statistics related to singles in the country and pop culture also highlight how the single lifestyle is gaining ground. Continue reading to find out all about it!
Most commonly, this day is utilized to underline the contributions that a single person makes to society. For instance, it has been observed that single people tend to perform more charitable acts. Additionally, more single people actively take care of their elderly and aging parents in comparison to married couples. So, this holiday can be observed by breaking the idea that 'single' means something wrong or negative.
If you are a single person yourself, use this day to celebrate your amazing self with a fine dining meal and a party (or multiple parties). You can also gather all your single friends and take a long break from work to have a fun vacation anywhere in the world.
On the other hand, if you have a partner, then utilize this day to honor your single friends and family members. You can also spread positivity about being single. Furthermore, if you know any single parents, this could be an opportunity to help them out.
There is no National Single People Day, but National Singles Day takes place on the third or fourth Saturday of September each year.
This day is celebrated by single people by going out to dinner, going on a vacation, and sharing stories on social media to prove that being single is not a negative thing.
In 2022, National Singles Day will be on September 24.
National Couple's Day is observed on August 18 and is a celebration of couples and their bond. Whereas, National Singles Day celebrates being single.
Both these days are celebrations of love. While National Couple's Day highlights the love shared between two partners, National Singles Day is an event dedicated to promoting self-love.
The most cost-effective advantage of this day is that one does not necessarily have to spend money to buy a gift on this day.
Most people like the idea of this day and appreciate how it is used to break all the stereotypes about single people.
