5 free ways to make someone's day

Free random acts of kindness RAKs


1Leave your unwanted books - Recently finished reading a book you love? Leave it on the train, in a cafe or at the local bus stop for the next person. This can work with DVDs too.


2Spread some social media love - We spend the majority of our days on social media so why not use it to send some good vibes. Try searching #happybirthdaytome and wish somebody many happy returns or #nervous for people about to take an exam, or sitting their driving test and wish them good luck. 


3Let somebody go ahead of you - Got 5 minutes to spare in the supermarket? Let somebody skip the queue and go in front of you. I've had it done to me at the train station and it really did make my day


4Give up your seat - Commuting to work? Let somebody take your set on the train or bus, you never know they might repay the favour one day.

5Give away your loyalty card - If you're lunch time coffee shop has a 'buy 6 get the next one free' type loyalty card then this one's for you. Once you fill the card instead of redeeming the free drink for yourself buy a drink for a homeless person or pass the loyalty card to the person queuing behind you.

These are all little things that will cost you nothing but might just brighten up somebody's miserable day. If they ask you why, just say 'why not' and encourage them to do something good for somebody else next.

  2. I once tried to give my seat on the bus to an older lady who told me off saying that she wasn't only and refused to take it. It was pretty funny!
