Why Use Ripple Kindness Cards?
Kindness is hands-down, one of the best natural medicines for a range of ailments. Research confirms that the feel-good emotions that are produced by acts of kindness are experienced by both the giver and receiver and if there are on-lookers, well they get a buzz out of it too! And that's not all, people who receive an act of kindness are much more likely to want to pay it forward, meaning that kindness is in fact contagious!
We created Ripple Kindness Cards to help widen each ripple of kindness. When a card is given with an act of kindness it's a tangible reminder for a good deed to be paid forward. In the moment, when someone is inspired by the positive emotions of receiving, they may have every intention of doing something nice for someone else but if the time isn't right, the kindness card can be found in their pocket or purse as a reminder to give an act of kindness in the future.
Just imagine the impact we could have if people consciously thought about spreading kindness to fill other people's buckets!
If you fill two buckets a day, and the owners of those buckets go on to fill two new buckets, more than a thousand buckets will have been filled at the end of 10 days. If each of those same people filled five buckets instead of two, more than 19 million buckets would be filled in just 10 days.

Ideas for Using Kindness Cards
There are SO MANY ways you can use kindness cards. One of my favorite is purchasing a chocolate bar when I do my groceries and leaving it with a kindness card where you collect your bags so the person at the checkout discovers your gift after you're gone. I feel very sneaky and sometimes get to see their reaction from a distance which always gives me a buzz!
Here are some other ideas from people who had the older design of the cards.
