NICE Tips: Share a quarter (or two)
I recently received an email from Jessica and Jake of Springfield, MO, who let me know that they make dates out of spreading NICE Notes around bookstores, flea markets, and restaurants. How cute is that?? And to kick it up a notch, they transformed their advent calendar into a kindness calendar, filled with slips of paper with nice tasks. Love it! She shared with me one of her favorites: "Place quarters in toy, candy & arcade machines." Genius! I remember being a kid and hovering over those toy machines like they were filled with diamonds and giving my mom puppy dog eyes while whining an elongated, "Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?" So I can imagine how it would have felt to walk up to one only to discover that the change had already been placed in the slot(s)! So as I was leaving the grocery store last night, the group of candy and toy machines caught my eye. I picked out my favorite (keychains with little plush animals), popped two quarters into the slots, and went along on my merry way. I hope it brightens someone's day! Thanks to Jessica and Jake for sending me this tip! I hope you all consider trying it out the next time you pass one of these machines. :)
NICE Tips: Support the Competition
The other day I received a really cool email from Laci of Zigs-Zags with a tip for being nice. So, I like to buy handmade stuff. It supports small businesses, it supports locally, and it supports "the little guy" in general. I love Etsy.com! (I myself have a shop on there ;D). It can be hard for handmade artists, trying to make a living, or ANYTHING at all. Any help they can get is super appreciated. Amidst my handmade buying frenzy, I acquired TONS of business cards. A lot of the times sellers gave me more than one. I held on to them for the longest time, until I realized, I should DO something with them! (after all, I would want someone to spread the word about MY shop If my buyers really liked my stuff!) I found a way to not only recycle, but to help these handmade comrades as well. From that moment on any business cards I received through my purchases went straight into my purse. Every time I made a trip to the store one or two of those cards would end up on a bulletin board somewhere for someone to find. I also made it a point to help anyone who needed some direction or advice on their shop. I found one woman who I not only gave some advice, but also provided web addresses to help, and also started a forum thread to get her even MORE help. I have done that sort of thing several times now, and I never get bored with that.It just feels to darn GOOD to stop! They are always so gracious of my help, and I am always so honored to do that for them. People might think it is strange that I would help the competition. I don't think of them as competition, just friends I haven't met yet! I am myself having a hard time selling my wares, but that doesn't stop me from being courteous to my "online" neighbor. I may not really make any sales from doing this...(although I HAVE made ONE :D) I definitly HAVE made friends, and for me, that is worth all the effort. I think that's awesome! I've had people ask me about Operation NICE competition. Wha?? There's no such thing as competition! The more people spreading the word, the better. And the more people supporting handmade, the better! I tend to inadvertently collect business cards as well, and I never thought about posting them somewhere for others to find. What a great idea! Thanks Laci!
NICE Tips: 10 Simple Ways to Show Kindness Online
Social Media Rockstar, Brett Borders, posted his 10 Simple Ways to Show Kindness Online. It was so cute that I had to share it! There are some really interesting points in his post. Just like we always talk about the importance of compliments, and how nice it is to compliment a stranger on the street, the same goes for "virtual strangers," e.g. people who's blogs you read or tweets you follow. So chiming in now and then to say, "Thanks! What a great resource!" or "Very well written, good job!" is thoroughly appreciated. I probably don't have to tell most of you. You are always quick to chime in and say when you enjoy one of my posts! And I'm the luckiest gal to have you all stopping by! I need to improve on a few of these points. Like responding to everyone. Lord knows I have trouble keeping up with that! But I try to be as nice as possible in the virtual world. I am certainly a serial exclamation mark user, so hopefully my sentences come off as friendly and happy (and not shouty). I love when people comment on my Tweets, so I need to do the same. Like this morning:

NICE Tips: Readers' Suggestions!
I was asking some of my buds on the HOW Design Forum for their NICE Testimonials, and Amanda put together a list of simple random acts of kindness. Missy and Kim added a few of their own as well. I thought it would be fun to compile a list right here! So post a comment with your suggestion(s) and I'll edit the list to include it.
Give at least one sincere compliment a day and it doesn't have to be much. Tell someone they have a nice smile, or you like their shoes or you envy their patience. If you look for it, you can find something positive to say about anyone.
If you buy something from a vending machine, leave the change in the change thingy for the next person. It's funny how someone finding an unexpected quarter makes their day.
Make a bunch of small little notes that have positive messages like "Have a nice day!" or "Someone loves you" and hide them around a public area for random strangers to find. This is a good project for those who have kids.
Overtip your waitress.
Give an extra $5 when you pay for something (retail, fast food restaurant) and ask that they apply it to the next person in line.
If you pack lunches for your loved one, stick a small note telling them to have a great day. Similarly, hide small love letters in your significant others pockets/bags/jackets.
Clear the snow off a neighbor's car after a big snowfall.
When you see a mom with a stroller going into a building - hold the door for her. She'll appreciate it more than you'll know!
Send a random e-Card to someone you haven't talked to in a while for no special reason.
Put an extra nickel, dime or quarter in a parking meter for someone.
Leave flowers anonymously at a neighbors', May Day style.
Make eye contact with people and smile.
Wave when someone lets you merge on the road.
Let someone who has five items at the grocery store go in front of you and your cart full of items.
Pay the toll of the car driving behind you.
Holiday season is a great time to recognize people who are underappreciated...leave some homemade goodies in your mailbox with a thank you note for your postal carrier.
Buy a current bestseller and donate it to the local library.
Give blood to the Red Cross.
When a waitress or other service person has been exceptional, let their manager know.
If you take walks around the neighborhood, bring along a bag and pick up trash as you go.
During the holidays, bring some hot chocolate or coffee to the bell ringers who are standing outside in cold weather.
Thank a co-worker or employee out of the blue for there hard work.
Let someone turn left when the light turns green because there is a long line of traffic behind you.
Give a child's old toys to a shelter every holiday season instead of trashing them.
Buy a homeless person some water on a hot day.
Let someone pregnant or older sit in your seat when none are available.
Thank your spouse, significant other, roommate, mom, etc. whenever they prepare a meal for you. It shows great appreciation.
When making dinner, double the recipe and deliver dinner to a neighbor.
Offer your mail carrier, trash man or anyone else working out side on a hot day a bottle of water.
When someone you come in contact with is doing a good job, tell them.

NICE Tips: How to Be Nice
wikiHow has an article titled "How to Be Nice." Here is a little summary of their steps. β’ Smile β’ Say hello β’ Ask people how they are doing β’ Be a good listener β’ Be courteous β’ Be positive β’ Be humble β’ Offer to help* β’ Be sincere The article also provides tips such as the following: If you are sitting, and you see an older person, or a pregnant, or ill person standing, offer them your seat if there are no other free seats close by. And also warnings like this one: While being nice, do not be a total pushover. Compromise is good, but expect to be treated fairly. Don't be afraid to stand up for what is right and do not hesitate to defend someone. If you find that you're being considerate of someone's time but they are not being considerate of yours, bow out as respectfully as you can and make yourself scarce. *PERSONAL NOTE: I feel this step is ΓΌber-important. If there is a woman pushing a stroller, trying to get through a door, people should be rushing to her aid. If there is someone that can't reach something on a supermarket shelf and you can, help that person out. I can recall many a time where I was in a similar situation wishing for (and sometimes receiving) some sort of assistance. It's the nice thing to do! Read full article here.
