50 Ideas For Random Acts Of Kindness

My big 30th birthday is on Monday! I truly can't wrap my head around the fact I'm still breathing and alive. It is pretty amazing. ;)

If you are joining us in celebrating and spreading the love through acts of kindness I put together a list of ideas below, 50 to be exact! Remember to share your acts on Monday on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, with the #30acts hashtag.








1. Leave a simple note of encouragement on a random car in a parking lot.

2. Donate crayons, papers, art supplies and games to your local Child Life department at your local Children's Hospital. (Trust me, they could always use something!)

3. Donate to the Cystinosis Research Network, my birthday wish is to raise $3,000 toward research. :)
You can put "Tahnie's 30th birthday" in the box next to "In Honor Of". I thank you from the bottom of my heart. We are so close to a breakthrough with the treatment of muscle wasting. I know we can get there together. It will be a beautiful day of celebration when we do.

4. Buy a bunch of balloons and hand them out to random children.

5. Take cookies to local fire department

6. Reach out to someone in your circle who you know is going through a particularly challenging season in their life. Don't bombard them with advice, simply listen and acknowledge their feelings.

7. Post a coupon code for an online shopping site to your Facebook or Twitter. Share the savings!

8. Help out a remarkable couple looking to add to their family through the miracle of adoption.

9. Make a memorial glocket for someone who is grieving. You can include the person's initial, angel wings, and their birthstone to create a piece that is unique. Use HAPPYGIRL for 20% off your entire order.

10. Gift someone you love some music over iTunes.

11. Take over dinner to a an exhausted, overwhelmed momma. Write her a note about how you notice how hard she is working and what a fantastic job she is doing raising those angels.

12. Pay for the person behind you in a drive thru.

13. Leave a $10 bill tucked into a corner of some diapers.

14. Donate to this incredible family HERE Scott recently passed away from cancer and Courtney is now solely responsible for their two young children.                         

15. Gather up cans of food to take to your local homeless shelter

16. Tip a bridge toll collector

17. Send a bunch of real cards in the mail...just because!

18. Clean out your closets and take any blankets, sheets, or towels you don't use to the humane society for the animals

19. Feed the parking meter for the person coming up after you

20. Clean out toys and donate to Big Brothers Big Sisters

21. Donate books to your local library

22. Leave a gas card at the pump

23. Take homemade popsicles to construction workers or anyone else working in the heat

24. Pick up litter at  your local park

25. Walk a friend or family member's dog

26. Leave a big bottle of laundry detergent at a laundromat

27. Leave a $5 taped to the entrance of a car wash

28. Leave unused coupons next to those items on the shelf

29. Regift an unused gift card by leaving it on someone's windshield

30. Mow your neighbor's lawn

31. Give someone flowers just because (you can buy or pick your own!)

32. Bring coffee or tea for your coworkers

33. Do the "Here's $20 toward the next person in line" at the grocery store

34. Buy a lottery ticket for a stranger

35. Give a hug to someone who really needs it

36. Leave an unexpected tip to an exceedingly fabulous waiter or waitress

37. Buy a life changing book for a friend

38. Donate blood or plasma

39. Send books and DVD's to soldiers overseas through Books For Soldiers

40. Help someone with their job search

41. Donate unused airline miles to Make A Wish (As a former "wish kid" I think this organization is beyond amazing!)

42. Renew an old friendship by reaching out, sending a gift, or writing a heartfelt letter

43. Let your parents know how much you love and appreciate them

44. Donate gently used clothing

45. Smile at 10 strangers

46. Give up your seat on the bus or subway (even if you are exhausted ;)

47. Purchase extra back to school supplies (binder, pencils, notebooks, backpack, etc) and donate to a school

48. Take lunch to your local police department

49. Choose to forgive someone you've been angry with

50. Visit or volunteer at a nursing home. Take goodies, books and magazine to donate as well.

  11. This list is absolutely fantastic.. can I borrow it? I love the idea of the glocket! Being that I am a bereaved mother, things like that are so helpful during times of grief and so sweet to recieve from friends or strangers!! Also, one of my favorite things to do is pay for the person behind me.. On the day of my Grandmother's funeral, I had to go through a toll bridge to get to the reception and I paid for a few people behind me.. it not only made me feel good but made me feel like my Grandmother was proud of me too!

  32. FROZEN DOUBLE TROUBLEThe initial Snow Queen character, as portrayed in the first fairytale, was chilly-hearted and villainous in the following adaptations. On the other hand, it had been tough to adapt the villainous character in to the movie as a consequence of her clear depiction. It would have looked odd to portray an innocently clear lady as evil. In the movie, she struggles to conceal her strange magic ability, particularly when she realizes that it can result in deadly hurt to Other folks.play INSIDE OUT GAMES and ZOOTOPIA GAMES
