Originally this was an idea put on facebook by someone and I feel it would be a lovely thing to do for a whole month, This can be something large or small or bought or made or very expensive or inexpensive the choice is your.. On face book it was called Random Gifting around the World you make or buy a small gift. Put a lovely tag on it with something like "This little gift is for you to enjoy and make your day special. Please enjoy it with my love and if you feel inclined do the same as may and cheer up somebody's day. Now good places to leave them on trains, buses, telephone boxes, cafes, dentist and doctors waiting rooms. Who wants to join me and place a couple of random gifts around. Please place any other ideas on where to leave them in the comment box below and it would be nice if those of you who do decide to participate just put a comment here as well or even in a later post as I will be updating this later this month and I am sure everyone would like to see what wonderful ideas people have had. I know my partner has bought a freezer bag with this in mind and I shall make at least one heart key ring to random gift, These gifts we hope will pay it forward in a different way. Another place you could leave them are the cash tills in supermarkets as often by the end of the day the poor guys on checkout have had enough. The date set for this is the 1st to 31st October and how many of these you do is up to you. Please share this blog and spread it around the world and with it the love.
Stephanie Barrows has just emailed me as she has no time to set up a blog account at the moment, but has come up with a couple of brilliant ideas. Here they are:- Taking the re-used idea, what about 'gifting' good quality books you've just read (i.e. not a dog-eared paperback!)? Also just to mention another existing idea here of putting a couple of quid in an envelope addressed to 'The Finder' and leaving it randomly with a note to 'treat yourself to something (e.g. a coffee) on me and have a nice day. Repay this gesture by doing 3 good deeds today". I suggest maybe this month. Let us know what you think about this.. Stephanie's email is
