Surprise your loved one

There are people who hold us up, even when everything around us seems heavy. Who make no noise and yet are always there. Who ask for nothing and yet give us everything: time, attention, ease. The beauty of true bonds is that they do not need an occasion to be celebrated. But May, with its warm air, light lengthening of days and loosening of hearts, is the perfect time to say thank you to those we love.
According to social psychology research, gestures of gratitude strengthen emotional bonds and improve the psychological well-being of both the giver and the receiver. And you don't have to do anything spectacular: something simple but heartfelt will do. Every kind gesture is a seed of shared happiness.

Here are three ways to celebrate your loved one:

Take them to discover a new destination

Affective memory is built with places. A hotel room where the curtains move slowly. A walk in the sunset after dinner. Laughing in costume amidst the bubbles of the jacuzzi. Experiencing new things together strengthens complicity, improves empathy and fosters a sense of deep connection. You don't have to go far, you just have to go together.
A stay at the ColorHotel becomes a small ritual: slowing down, breathing, making room for spontaneous gestures and unexpected smiles. And to return home with a light suitcase and a full heart.

Give the gift of a moment of well-being

We all need someone to take care of us from time to time. To tell us: "Now it's your turn. You who usually take care of everyone."
A relaxing massage, a carefully prepared dinner, a toast on the terrace with the one you love. Simple things, but with an enormous power: they reconnect us with our bodies, they remind us that we deserve attention.
If your loved one is already staying at ColorHotel, you can surprise them with a small gift. Not so much to surprise, but to demonstrate that you have thought of them. And that that detail has the scent of things loved.

Write them a handwritten note

In a world of voicemails and emoji, stopping to put something down on paper is a revolutionary act. It means taking your time, searching for the words, putting a piece of yourself into them. Sociologists speak of 'slow communication', that does not run away, does not notify, but remains. A handwritten sentence can become a talisman, a memory to be kept in a book, in a suitcase, in a drawer. You do not have to be a poet. A few sincere lines are enough. Because often the simplest things are the truest. And they are the ones that touch the deepest.
