Help Others.org: Spreading Cheer With Little Gifts -- A Kindness Story

Spreading Cheer With Little Gifts

--posted by twinkle on Jan 27, 2010

I have bought a few little gifts from ebay, like tiny fridge magnets, friendship bracelets and dried lavender to make potpourri and have stored them away in a big 'gift' bag.

I've also got some envelopes, cards, glue and I've made some smiley faces.

When I read about someone who is lonely or facing illness or is need of a little cheer for any other reason, I write a card, stick on the smiley and send them a little gift.

Some people are so happy when they receive them. It really does make a difference.

I will have to find one hour a week extra work so I can make up the money. But it will be worth it, it makes me feel so happy. to spread a little cheer.
