To help people get some ideas about things they can do, it'd be great if you can post your suggestions here For example, you could send a Christmas card to a random person who lives somewhere near you. Or leave a copy of a book you really like, with a note inviting the finder to keep it. Or buy a chocolate bar when you're in the shop, and tell the person at the counter that it's for the next person at the till. Post your ideas here

Raptors Claws are coming to town Dec 2016 4:17pm, 18 Dec 2016 35,042 posts	0 Raptors Claws are coming to town If you work in a place where it would be appropriate, take something that you don't use but someone else might appreciate and leave it with a message inviting people to take it. I did that once with a stack of s'lebby cookbooks - Jamie Oliver, Nigella Lawson, that sort of stuff. They were all gone within two days. And occasional donations of crockery and cutlery have melted into the staff kitchen, which reminds me of what my RAOK tomorrow could be ...

Letting the person behind you in the queue go first. Donate the extra item in a 3 for 2 to a local cause. Leave a note for someone you admire telling them why you think they are great.

If you buy a car park ticket and the minimum time you can buy for is much longer than you need (say you can only buy for an hour but you only need 15 mins) then stick the ticket to the paying machine when you leave the car park so someone else can have your 45 minutes for free (this probably won't work if you pay for parking by text )
