COVID 19 UPDATE: As an online business, we're fortunate that we're able to continue operating and we want to reassure you that we are following rules on hygiene; packing boxes wearing gloves and sanitising books and box contents. There may be a delay in postage with the extra demand on The Royal Mail but we hope these care packages of kindness will be worth the wait. Thank you all for supporting a small business at this time.
Pay kindness forward
A Random Book of Kindness is inspired by the purpose of sharing kindness
When you surprise someone with a Random Book of Kindness gift they are encouraged to pay that kindness forward (with a little help from us!)
It truly is the gift that keeps on giving
Have you ever received an unexpected card in the post, a bunch of flowers left on your doorstep or a book given to you from a friend as they read it and thought you would enjoy it too? It’s good to know that you were being thought of from someone you care about outside of the traditional gift giving occasions such as a birthday or anniversary isn’t it?
A Random Book of Kindness is based on the premise of random acts of kindness. The contents of our gift box revolves around a handpicked and pre-loved book and it creates the opportunity to surprise someone with a thoughtful gift 'Just because'. Though the kindness doesn't stop there.
When you surprise someone with a Random Book of Kindness gift they are encouraged to pay that kindness forward by sending on the book and re-using the packaging to send joy to someone else. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
What's in a Random Book of Kindness gift?
A pre loved book is the centrepiece with each one of our thoughtful gifts including a card handwritten with your message, an inspirational bookmark, a gratitude journal as well as some tasty treats.
Each box also contains additional wrapping and an extra card to encourage the receiver of your gift to pay the kindness forward. By sending on the pre loved book to someone else you can brighten the day of someone who deserves some unexpected kindness.
Intentional & Sustainable Gifting
By gifting in an intentional and sustainable way you will not only feel satisfied with the gift you have bought, but you will also know that you are helping more people to show that they care too.
Our gifts and packaging are truly circular. Not only is all of our packaging recycled and recyclable, all of the gifts inside each box are locally sourced or from independent sustainable businesses and all our books are pre loved.
With around 320 million books being thrown away each year rather than recycled or reused, we help, albeit in a small way, reduce the amount of books going to landfill. By gifting one of our boxes you will not only feel satisfied with the gift you have sent but also that you are doing some good in the world.
About Us
PAY KINDNESS FORWARD
Random Book of Kindness was created from witnessing the incredible amount of love and shared kindness that can be created by small gestures. Our founder Lynsey, ran 5km everyday for 100 days during the first
Covid-19 lockdown and she dedicated each one to some one or something that she was thankful for. After a shout out by both Chris Evans and Zoe Ball on their radio breakfast shows, A random book of kindness was born...
