When we are out shopping for friends and loved ones, we always go towards the same old kind of gift – electronics, toys, etc. Why not put a bit of a spin on your gifts this year by giving something that inspires kindness? One kind gift (or gesture for that matter) can go a long way, especially during the holidays.
Here are 4 simple yet very meaningful gifts that you should consider purchasing for the special people in your life this holiday season:
Kindness Rose ($30)
While I love receiving bouquets of roses or any flowers, I hate that unless they are potted that they die so quickly. With this Kindness Rose, it lasts for up to a year and it smells so good! You can pick 1 of 4 colors: red, yellow, white and pink. I received a red rose and it’s absolutely gorgeous. I have it sitting on my desk and whenever I feel down and need a pick me up, I just look at it and smell it and feel better. It’s surprisingly affordable at $30 and did I mention that it LASTS UP TO A WHOLE YEAR? It’s a beautiful gift that makes for a great display in a home or office.
Dash Poem Wallet Cards ($1.50)
These wallet cards offer up a poem about “living your dash”. What is dash you ask? It’s the little line between the year you were born and the year you die. The Dash poem is a poem about living a meaningful life. As one of the most popular funeral poems, it serves as a touching eulogy. It’s not meant to frighten you but instead, it can make a great gift (stocking stuffer at that) to remind a friend or loved one that life is short, so we must choose to live it to the fullest. There are 7 designs to choose from and at $1.50 for 20 cards,, it’s very affordable.
Live Your Dash Wine Tumbler ($20)
That little line between your birth date and your death date – that’s your dash. You only have one – live it well, make a difference. The Live Your Dash 12 oz wine tumbler is perfect for a day at the beach, on the boat, or in the park. I’m not a drinker of wine, so I put other things in it such as tea or water. It’s $20 and makes a great gift for a wife, girlfriend or daughter.
Kindness Rocks Project Painting Kit ($30)
One message at the right moment can change someone’s entire day, outlook or even life. With this kit, you can create your own random arts of kindness. If you haven’t heard about this project/movement, consider hopping on board and buy it for yourself or for the artist in your life. It’s a great project and a gift for the kids. For $30, you get all the rock painting supplies you need — minus the rocks.
