Spread Joy by Being Kind!

We are big believers that being kind to others not only makes them happier but it makes you feel good, too. February 17th is National Random Acts of Kindness Day. To celebrate, we're doing something special on Friday morning down at the paper shop. Stop down and see Brandy - she will have a little happy for you. (While supplies last!)

How are you going to celebrate National Random Acts of Kindness Day? 

Be kind to anyone you can today - strangers, family, friends, and yourself. Pay for the coffee of the person behind you, hold a door for someone, or let someone with less groceries go ahead of you at checkout. For family and friends, intentionally ask and listen about their day or their current struggles. If an article or quote made you think of someone, share it with them so they know you have them on your mind. Don't forget to show yourself some kindness by going for a walk outside, cooking your favorite meal, or writing down three things you're grateful to have in your life. 

Sometimes, it's the smallest gestures that make the biggest impact on our mood and turn a bad day into a good one.

Our personal favorite way to be kind - and we are biased - is by sending a card or handwritten note to surprise a loved one and brighten their day. We think funny, inspirational, or thinking-of-you cards are perfect to send as a random act of kindness, and our Hey There Girl card line is perfect for sending happy mail to your gal pals. Drop by the shop and pick up a couple or shop our card selection online! 

We hope we've inspired you to take part in National Random Acts of Kindness Day!
