Who said angels don’t live amongst us? There is a potential angel deep within each one of us. The recipe is quite simpls: Have some fun. Choose your attitude. Make someone’s day. Pass it forward.

It really is within your hands. Bring your angel within to live amongst us; and make the world a better place, one Random Act of Kindnesss at a time.

This year, I received a hamper from a friend as a Christmas present. I loved the gift, because I didn’t really need the food, and it gave me a wonderful opportunity to Pass it forward. These are some ideas of what you could do with it:

  • Give it to the cleaners / security guards / waitresses of your workplace / favourite coffee shop
  • Open it up and give every item as a small present to a stranger on the street. Make sure you add a Christmas card (and if you’re daring, a PIF card)
  • Prove to yourself you can be kind to those you don’t like by giving it to an unlikeable colleague or acquaintance
  • Walk a street in your town where homeless people often stroll or stay asking for charity; open the hamper, and start offering ‘one thing of your choice’ to every homeless person you come across
  • Go to the local nursing home and leave as a surprise present to the resident who never gets visited by anyone
  • Visit your church (or preferred charity) and offer it for a fund-raising raffle
  • Give it to your Mum
