"I found this cute rock in downtown Bemidji while walking with my dogs this evening. It’s the first one like it that I’ve found! I’ve been having a hard time lately and this made me smile. I’m going to re-hide it and hopefully it will make someone else smile, too?"

"I’ve got a cold and not feeling very good. I’d just dropped my coffee cup, splashed it all over and was feeling crabby about the mess. Went to throw my towels away and there it was on top of the garbage can! Reminded me that things aren’t that bad. Don’t let it ruin a beautiful sunny Sunday. Thank you."

"Found it in the grocery store parking lot, I plan to drop it somewhere in town! Thank you for the message, it’s weird but I really needed to hear that message, sometimes I’m my own downer. It really made me look at things in a positive way and my day was amazing!"

At Connect By Kindness, we’re on a mission to spread kindness, one unexpected gift at a time. There’s something truly magical about creating and receiving a handmade gift—especially when it comes as a surprise. Picture this: you’re walking down a path, running errands, or just out and about, when you stumble upon a small, thoughtful gift. The joy you feel in that moment is both heartwarming and uplifting.
We couldn’t find a place on the web that offered this kind of experience, so we created it! ConnectByKindness.com is a simple and intuitive way to create, share, and track gifts of all kinds. Whether you’re making a craft, writing a note, or creating something entirely unique, you can tag it with a special code, leave it for someone to find, and watch your kindness travel the world.
It’s a two-fold gift: the creator experiences the joy of making, and the receiver experiences the joy of discovery. And the best part? No one is expecting anything in return. We know the world can sometimes feel tough and complicated, and we believe a little more kindness can make all the difference.
We hope you love this idea as much as we do, and we can’t wait to see how the world is touched by the kindness shared through Connect By Kindness.
