Picture this. It’s a bright sunny morning. But as usual, your schedule for the day is packed. Back-to-back work meetings, gym hours, peak traffic time, socializing and more. Before you know it, the day is already over and you realize that you couldn’t carve out any quality time with your loved ones.
This new year, make sure to never fall into that trap again. After all, relationships are just like flowers, delicate, strong and so beautiful. And only when you nurture them do they bloom to the fullest. So make 2024 the year of togetherness that celebrates love, rekindles relationships and revisits the good old charming times.
Here are some ideas for you to keep love alive:

With Interflora’s flower subscription, you get to choose weekly delivery of seasonal blooms so that they can proclaim your love in a fresh new way, every week, for months at end.
Co-parent a Plant
They say love blooms and grows with shared responsibility. So how better than a surreal green piece of nature to give you that? Gift your partner a precious plant and care for it together. You can make a plan to list down its well-being needs and carve out time to spend together with it too. Its beautiful leaves and enchanting persona are sure to bring you two closer.
Digital Detox
If you’re buried in your phone all day and all night, it’s crucial to take a break from screens and spend quality time with your loved ones. Make 2024 the year for it. Plan an evening every week or month, to set aside every gadget in the house. No phones, no TV, no iPads and no laptops. All that’s allowed to do is engage in interesting conversations, play board games or outdoor games and enjoy a quiet time-well-spent dinner.
Embrace Gratitude
When you focus on all the negatives, somewhere you leave behind the good things in life. One of them being your loved ones. Make sure to ditch that habit in 2024. When there’s so much to be thankful about, express gratitude whenever you can. Do it with each other, form a habit of gratitude journalling or simply adapt it in your daily gestures, it’s sure to foster a deeper, more meaningful connection with people you care for.
Celebrate big-little milestones
Why wait for the good times to celebrate when you can kickstart the festivities at any moment? Had a good day? Celebrate with date night. Made a new friend? It deserves a coffee break. Boss applauded you? Chat all about it with your partner. You see, there’s never a perfect time to throw a big bash. When you start celebrating the run-of-the-mill daily moments, everything suddenly seems a lot more special.
Communication is key
Gone are the days when silent treatment seemed like the right thing to do to maintain one’s peace. 2024 is the year to talk, communicate, exchange thoughts, express embedded emotions and make sure to never put a pause on it. Because when you share the deepest truths of your heart, you instantly get closer to the ones who truly matter. Be an open book and let others get a feel of who you really are.
