In this article, whilst we are not diving in-depth to the whole list of couple bonding activities, as a florist specialising in preserved and dried flowers in Singapore, we would like to bring your attention to the category Art & Creativity, where you can spend a special time with your date in creativity as a couple bonding activity!
Flower gifting in Singapore is usually for special occasions, but we would definitely like to debunk that! Flower gifting need not be for only special occasions, and it’s definitely not the only one particular gender or for a specific purpose. Flower gifting often stems from the place of love and adoration, and we’d love to see your declaration on that!
Currently, there is a growing trend among couples to opt for experiential gifts over material ones! For shared activity, you might consider making use of flowers and creativity to provide a couple bonding experience together!
