Kindness Contest Winnter of the Month!

--by rachelove, posted Dec 15, 2014

I got the chance to receive $100 from Kindspring.org to complete an act of kindness to help others. I thought it would be cool to make little gift baskets for people at the woman's shelter. I thought of this idea as I remembered how joyful gift baskets are, and how those at a shelter would probably love some.

When I entered the contest, I never thought I could win it. When they sent an email informing me of my opportunity, I was shocked; I thought it was a mistake. I knew after that email that I had a lot to do in a little time.

The planning part for the baskets was perhaps the hardest thing to do. I had to figure out when and where I should hold the assembling of the gift baskets and what I would call them. I had to decide what to buy with the $100 and how to tell people about the event.

I ended up deciding to call my project, Smile Baskets, because hopefully each basket would make a person smile. The women’s baskets, were filled with beauty products and food treats. I filled the kids baskets with toys.
