  1. I take my kids to the mall around Christmas and we hand out candy canes. The first year we mostly handed them the shoppers but a lot of them said no thank you and it discouraged my kids so from then on we hand them to the employees working in the stores. They are always very appreciative.

  2. Buy bunches of flowers that have been reduced down and hand them out to strangers in the carpark, give $1 scratchies to people in the shopping centre, my kids love giving little toys (I’ve managed to pickup reduced down throughout the year) to kids in the shopping centres before Christmas, buy a homeless person a meal. It feels so good doing random acts of kindness ❤
