When you're feeling down, a thoughtful gesture from a friend can mean the absolute world. I personally think that when somebody goes to effort of taking the time to make it themselves, means even more. I while a go one of my friends was feeling a bit rubbish, not for any particular reason but we all have those days. So to cheer her up I made her some white chocolate cupcakes and she was so grateful it made my heart melt :) It doesn't even have to be a cake ! You could make a batch of cookies, brownies, or fudge. There are loads of things that would easily make someone's day and would only take you half an hour !
This week, try and make something nice for a friend who's going through a rough time, feeling down or just needs to know how loved and appreciated they are !
Let me know in the comments some of your ideas of things to make to cheer up a friend or tell me about a time somebody has made you something that got you smiling again :)
Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)

This is such a lovely idea! I'm actually planning to make a batch of caramel brownies for my friend who's feeling a bit down at the minute, it's so simple but can mean so much to someone :)

My boyfriend has been feeling down lately so I knew I had to do something to try to cheer him up.I went to his college this evening and surprised him with his favorite candy ( peanut butter cups). It feels nice to do something for someone that is so important to me. I could tell it meant a lot to him that I came to see him. :) I wish I would have had time to bake something but candy is the next best thing. :) Thanks for encouraging these random acts of kindness. I really believe that the little things we do could add up to making this world a better place. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful surprise it's so lovely to do things for others and it actually makes us as happy as it makes them ! It's definitely the thought that counts whether baked or night :) I hope you have the loveliest day !

This is one of the many reasons I love you Marianne, you are so kind hearted and thoughtful. I've been thinking a lot lately about all the little things we can do for others throughout the day to make them smile and it really is simple little things. Always love this reminder! Hope you're having a wonderful week! XO-Kim
ReplyDeleteOh honey thank you that means so so much to me :) It's so important to remind others that they matter and that they are loved :)

I love baking and feel I am offering something nice to people when I can bake for them! A couple of years ago when our neighbour's wife passed away just before Valentine's Day, we baked and brought him a heart-shaped cake for him and his family with a bottle of wine. We know he was so appreciative of it, and we loved doing it for him! Good advice, Marianne :)

Thank you honey, random acts of kindness are something that I'm very passionate about , kindness is always the way forward :)

I love this idea :) it's the best feeling ever when friends or family surprise you with random things when you are feeling down. Recently, my coworker surprised me with a cupcake and giftcard for my birthday, and I was definitely not expecting it. It made me feel good that she remembered. It's really nice when people go to that extra step.
