Every year, Nathan and I find ways to give back during the holiday season, whether it’s sponsoring a family, donating Christmas dinners, supporting animal shelters, or performing random acts of kindness. This has become a cherished tradition of ours.
Last year, I decided to put a unique spin on the Christmas Countdown Kit released by Stampin’ Up! Instead of using it to treat myself, I filled each compartment with a note of kindness and a little gift. Each day, I found someone who had done something kind for another person(or me) and I gifted them an envelope.
The smiles I witnessed strangers received these small tokens of appreciation where heartwarming. It reminded me that even the simplest gestures can have a profound impact on someone’s day.
This year, I encourage you to take on a similar challenge. The Stampin’ Up! Christmas Countdown Kit is still available, and you can easily adapt it to spread joy in your community. Your envelopes don’t have to be elaborate—a kind note can go a long way. The true gift lies in the act of giving.
Here’s a glimpse of how I’ve revamped my kit this year so the numbers are hidden. I supplemented with a little Country Woods Designer Series Paper and Crumb Cake cardstock, however, you can probably do it without using anything extra.
Let’s make this holiday season a little brighter for those around us. Who’s ready to spread some kindness?
