National & International Days on November 3

Cliché Day gives you permission to have fun with language by using all those overused sayings you usually try to avoid. Created by Thomas and Ruth Roy of Wellcat Holidays, the day invites you to fill your conversations with familiar phrases like “time flies” or “easy as pie.” It’s a lighthearted reminder that clichés, even when predictable, still connect people through shared expressions.

Color the World Orange Day* (First Monday in November) invites people around the world to wear orange and show support for those living with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), also known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD). Founded in 2014, the movement raises awareness of this chronic pain condition, which often develops after an injury and has no known cure. By lighting landmarks in orange, sharing stories, or simply wearing the color, you can help draw attention to the need for more research, better treatments, and greater understanding of the daily challenges faced by people living with CRPS.

Election Day 🇺🇸* (First Tuesday after the first Monday in November) is the day when US citizens cast their votes to choose public officials and influence local, state, and national decisions. Set by federal law the date ensures consistency for all federal elections. Even in years without a presidential race, millions of Americans participate in state and local elections that shape their communities. Many states also offer early or mail-in voting, giving people flexible ways to make their voices heard. The day highlights the importance of civic engagement and reminds every voter that their ballot helps guide the country’s future.

Fill Our Staplers Day* (One day after the start and finish of U.S. daylight savings time + March 9, 2026) was created by The Dull Men’s Club in 2012. It’s a reminder to refill your staplers the day after the clocks change for Daylight Saving Time—March and November in the U.S. and Canada. By taking a minute to do it now, you avoid the small but irritating moment when your stapler runs out right before an important task. This simple habit saves time, reduces frustration, and adds a touch of order to your day—something The Dull Men’s Club would say is worth celebrating.

Give Someone a Dollar Day encourages people to show kindness through small, thoughtful gestures. Giving just one dollar to a friend, a stranger, or someone in need can lift their spirits and remind both giver and receiver that generosity does not depend on wealth. It’s a reminder that generosity doesn’t require much—just the willingness to care.

Job Action Day* (First Monday in November) encourages people to pause and think about their professional path—where they are, where they want to be, and what steps can bring them closer to meaningful work. Founded in 2008 by Quintessential Careers and now sponsored by LiveCareer, the observance began as a response to economic uncertainty but continues to inspire workers and job seekers to take charge of their futures. The day encourages people to update a résumé, explore new opportunities, learn new skills, or simply reflect on how to create more purpose and satisfaction in everyday work life.

National Accessory Day, founded in 2019 by Luxury Next Season, celebrates the role accessories play in fashion and self-expression. The observance reminds us that accessories can transform not only what we wear but also how we feel, while many of these individual items—such as hats, scarves or handbags—have their own dedicated national days as well.

National Broadcast Traffic Professionals Day* (Observed on November 2 unless it falls on a weekend, then celebrated on the following Monday) honors the people who keep radio and television stations running seamlessly. These behind-the-scenes professionals manage programming schedules, advertisements, and station compliance so that every broadcast airs without interruption. The observance was established to coincide with the anniversary of the first commercial radio broadcast, aired on KDKA in Pittsburgh in 1920.

National Homemaker Day, also known as National Housewife’s Day, honors the people who keep households running smoothly through effort, care, and organization. The observance recognizes how much skill and dedication it takes to balance cooking, cleaning, budgeting, childcare, and countless other tasks that often go unnoticed. Although it once focused mainly on women, the day now celebrates anyone—regardless of gender—who takes pride in managing a home and supporting the people who live in it. It’s a moment to appreciate the unseen work that keeps families comfortable and life on track.

National Sandwich Day is a chance to pause and appreciate how this simple meal fits into busy days, from packed lunches to late-night bites. The celebration invites you to try a new combination, visit a favorite deli, or just take a moment to enjoy the balance of flavors and textures that make sandwiches so satisfying. This observance reminds us that good food doesn’t need to be complicated to make life a little better.

One Health Day emphasizes that human health doesn’t exist in isolation—it’s connected to the well-being of animals and the environment around us. Founded in 2016 by the One Health Commission, One Health Platform, and One Health Initiative Team, the observance encourages people to think about how daily choices affect the world’s overall balance. Caring for pets, supporting sustainable farming, reducing waste, or protecting natural spaces all contribute to a healthier planet. The day invites everyone, not just scientists or doctors, to see health as a shared responsibility that begins with simple actions in everyday life.

Smart Home Day focuses on the growing impact of smart home technology, which allows homeowners to control various aspects of their homes through automation systems. It’s a chance to explore how technology is transforming everyday living and making homes more efficient and connected.

Traffic Directors Day* (Observed on November 2 unless it falls on a weekend, then celebrated the following Monday) honors the work of traffic directors in radio and television, who are responsible for scheduling and organizing commercial spots and programs. It commemorates the first commercial radio broadcast, which took place on November 2, 1920, at KDKA in Pittsburgh, marking a major milestone in broadcasting history.

World Jellyfish Day invites people to look beyond the sting and appreciate how fascinating and important these creatures really are. Celebrated since 2014, the day highlights jellyfish as vital members of the ocean’s ecosystem, contributing to its balance in ways many don’t realize. Their glowing bodies have inspired medical research and art alike, and their ancient presence reminds us of the ocean’s mystery.
