I Need a Patch For That Day” is a holiday that allows people to complain about patches that make their lives so much better. People who are trying to quit smoking rely on nicotine patches; transdermal patches are used for pain relief, contraception, and for dosing out estrogen. What will be the next transdermal patch breakthrough?

Maybe they’ll create one to boost our mood, make us smarter, or help us perform better on a test. When that happens, then we’ll need a patch for those things, too.

The History of I Need a Patch For That Day

As is usually the case with quirky holidays, this day was created by the fine people who own the website Wellcat. This website is known for not only selling botanicals, spices, herbs, and even tea.

They’re also known for creating wild and wacky holidays such as Stupid Guy Thing Day, Haunted Refrigerator Night, and Wonderful Weirdos Day. They created “I Need a Patch for That Day” a few years ago, and it’s been observed ever since.

Observing I Need A Patch For That Day

People can observe this day in the way that we previously mentioned, or they can observe it in a different way. A “patch” is often used to fix something. That can be a telephone wire or a computer’s operating system.

Therefore, this could be a day for people to search for a patch for whatever is broken in their lives. We think both of those ways are perfect to observe this holiday. As is spreading the word about this holiday using the hashtag #INeedAPatchForThatDay on social media.
