“NO ACT OF KINDNESS, NO MATTER HOW SMALL, IS EVER WASTED.” – AESOP.
“NO ACT OF KINDNESS, NO MATTER HOW SMALL, IS EVER WASTED.” – AESOP.
Not only was February the month of love - see Galentine’s and Valentine’s Day alike, it was also the month of kind.
February 17th is also known as Random Acts of Kindness Day, and as a business that is built on the concept of “it’s the thought that counts”, we are forever looking at ways to celebrate and share the kindness and spread it around.
Dedicated to spreading kindness, love, and positivity throughout the world, Random Acts of Kindness Day is one where we can all come together and do something small to make a big impact on someone else's life.
The perfect opportunity to remind us of the power of kindness and how we can use it to bring a little happiness and hope into someone else's life. One of the best things about kindness is that it's contagious. So when you do something kind for someone, it often inspires them to pay it forward and do something kind for someone else.
Our founder and CEO, Zoe, has rooted TreatBox on acts of kindness and said,
“Being kind in business is something I have always tried to do, not just because my business is based on spreading kindness, but because people don't expect it, which is sad but true, so my mission is to change that.”
Like Zoe says, we’re on a mission to spread kindness and joy, one small gesture, one TreatBox at a time, and in honour, we’re sharing some simple ways you can share that kindness with others.
Leave a kind note. Write a note of encouragement or a compliment and leave it somewhere for someone to find. You never know who might need a little pick-me-up.
Buy a stranger a coffee. Start your day off by brightening someone else's. Buy a coffee for the person in line behind you or for a co-worker who could use a little boost.
Volunteer. Give your time and talents to help others. Whether it's helping out at your local animal shelter, or volunteering for a charity, or even using your work skills for free to support a local event, gift your time and effort.
Do something thoughtful for a friend. Whether it's baking them a cake, sending them a care package, or just taking the time to listen, showing a friend that you care can brighten their day.
Pay it forward. Do something kind for someone, and then encourage them to pay it forward by doing something kind for someone else.
Remember, it's the little things that count. You don't have to do something big or expensive to make a difference!
If you find me, I’m yours!
And, whilst we don’t need to wait for a day in February to shower someone with love or to share those random acts of kindness, we used it as an excuse to spread our own kindness.
Did you see how far our kindness spread? From London and the south coast to Neath in Wales, Cheshire and Newcastle, together with our trusty friends, we spread kindness to over 20 locations! Here’s our video to show you how we spread that kindness… it went a loooong way, physically and emotionally!
Did you find one? We’d love to hear from you!
