February 17th is National Random Acts of Kindness Day!

Sometimes it’s the smallest act that makes the biggest impact, something as simple as showing gratitude and saying please or thank you can make someone’s day. Studies show that being kind not only helps other people, but makes you happy and healthier. So get out there on the 17th and everyday thereafter and be the light you want to see in the world.

Below are 7 random acts of kindness to bless your community with. Give them a try and drop us a note and let us know how it made you or the recipient feel.

#1 Leave a nice note on someone’s desk

Make a co-workers day by complimenting them on something they are good at or what you admire about them.

#2  Support someone’s charity or campaign.

Support by donating to their charity, sharing their campaign to your community on social media, or by volunteering your time or talents.

#3 Do something special that you know your significant other will appreciate.

If your spouse is the one always doing the dishes, take that off their hands now and then or make their favorite pancakes just because.

#4 Leave inspiration quotes and messages for strangers to find.

Leave it on a post-it note on a bathroom mirror, or write it on a card and leave it on the train or bus. (We especially love this one!)

#5 Foster a pet, or better yet adopt one!

There are so many animals waiting to be placed, and kindness of fostering can help a lot with their transition. If you’re ready to bring a new pet into your home, adopt don’t shop, there are  animals waiting for a family to love them.

#6 Write a positive comment on a blog or website

Read a great article or blog post? Love a product you just bought? Send a little love to the author or company - this one is easily bypassed. 

#7 Give a friend a “just because” gift

Spread happiness and kindness with a gift for a friend that inspires you. Give a little reminder that everyday is a chance to #chooseyourmood with one of our handmade 7 bracelets.
