Give flowers to strangers

I really love today’s tip.

I know that many of you are thinking when I give you this kind of tips ‘this is too much, Caroline lost it… ‘. Just like with the tip of leaving a present somewhere on the street, or hanging a kind note on a parked bike. But I promise you: once you try this out, it will feel wonderful!

Tip for today
Buy 5 flowers (or 5 small bouquets) and hand them out.

I had bought 5 separately wrapped flowers. I waited outside the supermarket to give them to the first 5 people who came out.  That felt pretty exciting, who would it be: a man, a woman? Who would put my flowers in a vase at home? 

Seeing the different reactions was interesting. Some looked at me skeptically, waiting for the pitch. When I said there is no pitch, that I just wanted to do something kind,  I caught a (half) smile. Some others were just happy right away. There was one lady who did not accept it. Which I completely understand, in these times.

In this video below you can see how nice it is to be able to give to strangers. Not only does it make the recipient happy, you will also get a really good feeling about it. Just try it!
