Originally written for Blogtober and Blogmas, but there’s no need to wait for an occasion to be kind. Here are 4 weeks worth of Random Acts of Kindness. There are 28 different ideas that don’t have to cost very much or anything at all. Let me know if you try any. Why should we do it? Just because, it’s nice to be nice.
With people getting stressed, worrying about money and what presents to buy people, why not take a step back this year and give the simpler things in life.
1. Take someone out for breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea
2. Give a cake/bag of cookies to a checkout assistant
3. Give a small gift to a teacher
4. Donate something to a charity shop
5. Send a “thinking of you” card through the post
6. Compliment someone
7. Give someone flowers
8. Send a Thank you card through the post
9. Donate a tin of food to your local pet charity in the supermarket
10. Smile and say hello to people that you pass today
11. Offer to do or help with someone’s shopping
12. Buy someone a lottery ticket or scratch card
13. Tell an author, artist or musician how much you love their work and why
14. Buy a homeless person a hot drink
15. Send an “I love you” card to your parents no matter how old you are
16. Donate something to a homeless shelter
17. Offer to babysit for someone

19. Invite someone to Sunday lunch
20. Take cookies or cakes to work even if it isn’t your birthday

Thank you. It’s a two way thing though isn’t it, just knowing that you’ve helped someone makes YOU feel good too.
