Cup of Kindness Card and Gift

We all know them… those very special, super kind people who make a positive difference in our lives. Whether it’s the friend who calls to check in, or the neighbor who grabs your mail and packages while you’re out of town, or a member of your family who comes through for you in a pinch– there are caring people who should be celebrated with a Cup of Kindness! Teachers are also perfect recipients.

This doesn’t need to be a big fancy present… but a small, thoughtful present. In fact, small is perfect for this!

Supplies: a coffee or tea cup, tiny goodies and a Cup of Kindness Printable Card. Just click the link, download and save to your computer: Kindness Cards. The recipe for kindness is printed on the outside, and you can write your own special message inside.

Here’s a “Recipe for Kindness”:

3 cups of encouragement

2 cups of respect

1 cup of helpfulness

3/4 cups of sharing

1/2 cup of compliments

1/4 cup of cheer

1 tsp honey

Add a pinch of bravery

Sprinkle of friendship

Once you have the card, you just need a cup or a mug. This one is from the dollar bin at Target.

Then grab some fun items to fill up the cup. I found some colorful little pens and matchbook notebooks, a small fox lipgloss, stickers, confetti and erasers. I almost all these inexpensive items at the grocery store.
