Ready to experience Giving Without Expectations for yourself?
Go for it!
And then share your story here.

Tell us what you gave and why… And how you felt about it.
Oh, and maybe include where and when you gave your mystery gift.
But remember…
Don’t share your real name or the name of whoever received your gift.
Keep it anonymous, or make up a cute nickname.
Because that’s part of the fun 😉
Enjoy the stories!

Dear Lotte! I know this site is all about the act of giving without expectations. In a way, giving the gift and than look for a comment on your story could be concidered an expectation. However, whether this is truely giving without expectations or not: it is just a lot of fun!
To be honest: today I had a little bit of a bad day myself. Your comment lifted me up again! So thank you tons!

Vandaag heb ik bij iemand in de buurt een kleinigheidje in de brievenbus gedaan.
Ik was van plan het gisteren te doen, maar ja… Wellicht was ze thuis, en zag ze mij… Ik bedacht dat het ‘s ochtends vroeg “veiliger” was. Gelukkig was het er vanmorgen nog donker, de gordijnen nog dicht. Toen ik vanmiddag er weer langs fietste waren de gordijnen natuurlijk open. Zou ze het gevonden hebben???
I just left an envelope with a magazine gift card inside under an issue of the Dutch magazine Linda in a supermarked in Beek (The Netherlands). The lucky finder can buy next episode of this magazine with this card! Enjoy the reading!!
All this is so exciting. Giving lijd this is a powerful positive experience, boosting happiness.
It is een real plessiear to give the kadootje anonimus

Today I sent a friend dried-flowers.
She is a person that always finds joy in taking care of everyone else. I love to give her some unexpected kindness in return.
I hope she will enjoy the flowers!
Last week I sent a gift card for books, to a book lover that is also very kind and helpful to the people around him. Great thing to do!
