We all have those days where nothing seems to go right. The alarm never went off, our favorite flavored coffee is out, and we just can’t seem to win. We all dread those days, but unfortunately we all have them. However, whenever we have those days that seem endless, it’s the little things that seem to brighten us up. It doesn’t take much to make someone smile and add some joy!. Here’s seven kind gestures to make someone’s day.

1. Buy a coffee

When passing a Starbucks’ you’re more than likely stopping to grab yourself a macchiato. Why not make that order a double? For just a couple extra dollars you can bring a smile to any friend who just might be having a bad day.

2. Leave a small note

There was nothing I loved more as a kid than when I would open the lunch my mom would pack for me and find a small “I love you” note in my pink lunchbox. Sometimes it just takes saying, “have a great day!” on a Post-it note to bring a smile to someone’s face.

3. Provide dinner

Hectic schedules can leave the question, “what’s for dinner?” constantly up in the air. Take the initiative and grab quick take-out, or whip together a simple meal. Nothing too fancy, it’s the thought that counts!

4. Take the trash out

There’s something about this chore that everyone always seems to dislike. It might seem simple or silly, but you’d be surprised just how appreciate someone will be.

5. Pick up groceries

A trip to the market can be a PAIN! I know it’s something my mom has never liked. Take the burden off someone and run to the local store and grab the essentials: bread, milk, and chocolate!

6. Good morning text

We can’t always be there to write a handwritten note, and a text is the next best thing. There’s nothing sweeter than waking up to a message knowing that someone was thinking about you. Starting off positively carries throughout the day!

7. Pop in

My boyfriend always says he loves is most when I show up unexpectedly. Even if just for a quick hello, stop in for coffee or tea and just catch up!
