Making Mărțișor Awesome for Everyone

Spring is just around the corner, and with it comes Mărțișor. Usually, folks celebrate by giving little brooches to women as a nod to spring and new beginnings. But we’re shaking things up this year and making it a reason for everyone to celebrate, be generous, and feel special! And we are starting at our InFLUX Munch, right on the 1st of March.

We think everyone deserves a bit of joy, so we’re ditching the whole buy-and-give thing. We want to focus on what matters more, like being kind to each other in ways that count. So, we’re inviting all of you to join in. From March 1st, for the entire week of Mărțișor, let’s kick off a kindness fest – pick people you would like to be nice to and extend a compassionate and thoughtful gesture to them. Not sure how to start? No worries! We’ve got plenty of ideas coming your way.

Let’s make this Mărțișor unforgettable by spreading kindness like confetti. Are you in? Let’s do this together!

Our Kindness Menu – Pick Your Flavor, Pick Them All!

Time’s a Gift (Quality Time)

Hang Out: Grab a friend for a stroll and dive into convo land—no topic is off-limits.

Listen Up: Got a buddy in need of an ear? Yours is all theirs, no interruptions allowed.

Deep Talks: Unpack those “why are we here?” mysteries over a cuppa, and let the theories fly.

Be the Shoulder (Emotional Support)

Empathy: When someone’s having a tough time, let them know you’re there and you understand. A simple “I’m here for you, and I get it” can mean the world.

Comfort: Sometimes, a simple “You’re amazing, and you’ve got this. No matter what comes your way, you’ll handle it brilliantly.” does wonders.

Listening: Just being there and listening can be the biggest support of all.
