This is a great idea! Although instead of more money, which the salon keeps a portion of for some reason, I think I will pick up a book for their babies!
I have found that one enjoys life more when they are being kind. Kindness is contagious.
I love giving. It really is better to give than receive. I plan on doing this with my groomers or/and the next time we eat out. Which is usually on Fridays! Thank you!
Make someone’s day!
Loving these challenges! Going to put this into practice today when I go get my nails done.
Another thing you can do is fill out a comment card with the servers name on it or the cashier or whoever you want to recognize. They often get perks when their name is recognized in a positive way. I think I’m going to do that for my favorite cashier at my grocery store!
I won’t be going to town today. On Saturday I gave my hairdresser a double tip and a Christmas gift though.
This is a great idea! We’ve done this in the past a few times. As a server, in my past, I know what a blessing it would have been for me during those days. Being in a service type job is looked down on by some and this is a great way to show them how much you appreciate them and what they do. Thank you again, Karen!!
Great ideas! Gratitude Thank you are the best.
Thanks for the ideas!
I plan on taking a gift card to my hairdresser. Already took one to my eyelash tech.
What Great idea and blessing to others !!!
So good to see the often forgotten get some extra kindness this holiday season?
Such a great idea! Blessings ?
Another wonderful idea!
We often tup on the generous side when we can to show appreciation, but haven’t left notes, that is pretty powerful, thanks for the reminder!
Another wonderful idea. Thank you.
Love how not only do we tip extra but share a note! I was a server for so many years when I was going thru college. While I have received good tips…I don’t think I ever received a note. So special!
I love all of these ideas! I’m going to do my part!
I love this idea and try to do it not only during the Christmas season but whenever I can afford it
Great idea. going to give an extra tip tonight at our girls night Christmas dinner!
A very fun idea! It’s wonderful to make someone’s day in a little way!
I did this Tuesday night :)
I love these kindness challenges. It makes my heart happy.
Another great idea to spread kindness this season!!!
