Kindness Pass-Along Gift Cards

'Pay it Forward' Acts of Kindness

By Chris Dunmire

You've heard the heartwarming stories about people who have committed "random acts of kindness" by tossing extra change into a toll booth for the car behind it, or by paying for a cup of coffee for the next person in line. Often the kind deed is appreciated by the recipient, and wouldn't it be awesome if the incentive to "pass it on" is also present? Now it can be!

To help that "kind energy" to keep moving forward, I've invented one way to inspire more kind acts to continue from person to person through my Kindness Pass-Along Gift Cards. These cards are free for you to download, print, and use and are described in detail below. (Read the story behind this nifty little card here.) All printables on this page are for personal, non-commercial use only (please read terms of use).

The "Any Kind of Beverage" Gift Card is perfect for those times you wish to gift a stranger with a free cup of coffee, juice, soda, tea, or anything other type of drink.
