If you’re taking a walk through Liverpool city centre today you may notice something different.
Around 100 bouquets of flowers have been left on the streets of Liverpool ONE in a bid to put a smile on the faces of passers-by.
This is all in the effort of combating today - Monday, January 20 - which is known as Blue Monday, the most depressing day of the year.
Those lucky enough to come across the beautiful bouquets are encouraged to share the love and pass on a bunch to a friend, partner or even a stranger.
It is hoped the goodwill gesture could cause a chain reaction of positivity across the region.
This year, Liverpool ONE is also offering treats and one-off deals for visitors to inject some joy into Blue Monday.
Donna Howitt, marketing director at Liverpool ONE, said: “Blue Monday is recognised as the gloomiest day of the year for many. Our flower drop has proven to put a smile on our visitors’ faces and creating a chain reaction of positivity across the city.
“This year, many of our shops and restaurants, jumped at the chance to offer all kinds of complimentary and discounted treats to make Blue Monday a little brighter for everyone!”
Deals on offer at Liverpool ONE today include free hand and arm massages at The Body Shop, free chocolate samples at Lindt, free coffee at Nespresso, mini makeovers at Morphe and more.
You can find the full list of offers via the Liverpool ONE website .
