National Random Acts of Kindness Day

Do something nice for someone this year

When you’ve had a bad day, or you’ve been struggling recently, you know what a difference it makes when someone does even the smallest thing nice for you. It helps lift your spirit and makes you smile. Now, it’s your turn to do the same for someone you love, or maybe even do something kind for someone you don’t know.

The purpose of Random Acts of Kindness Day is to create a kinder world for everyone. We all face challenges throughout our lives, so, if you are able to do even a little something nice for someone else, you don’t know how much of a difference it will make to them. What we may think is a small gesture could make a huge positive impact on another person.

Random Acts of Kindness is inspiring people across the world to do better and bring more joy to those around them every day. People everywhere are enjoying doing these acts of kindness, as it allows them to think about what can make a difference, and to be creative if they want to.

We celebrate National Random Acts of Kindness Day on the 17th of February, and if you want to do something nice for someone, but don’t have the time to make something, you can send a little something to someone from Sponge.

Random Acts of Kindness Gifts

We have a couple of suggestions of gifts to send to someone to put a smile on their face.

Letterbox Gifts

Cake Cards are great letterbox gifts for any occasion, and they are budget-friendly too. You can choose a card design from one of our card categories or you could create your own design by uploading a photo with our Photo Card option.

These are not your standard greetings cards though; you also get to choose to include a slice or two of delicious cake inside the card. There are lots of scrumptious flavours to choose from including standard cake slices, gluten free cake slices, and vegan cake slices.

You can also include extras, such as tea, coffee, or hot chocolate sachets, face packs, balloons, candles, sweets, and more! All in all, you can create a great letterbox gift with Cake Card.
