Good to hear that you feel the urge to give. I encourage you to share your story about giving warmth and chocolate so we can hear about the good deeds you have carried out. Feel free to post the link here in the comments :)

Myself, I like short and sweet with a big smile and good eye contact. Something like “This is for you, enjoy your day.” Then I’m on to the next person! Thanks for sharing your inspiring story.
