CAUGHT YA CARDS

There have been movements like "Pay It Forward" and "29 Gifts in 29 Days Giving Challenge" that encourage people to help one another.  The good deeds can range from something as small as giving your spare change to someone in need to something that will have a life-changing impact on the lives of others.

This has inspired me to come up with a way I can use this blog and my online gift store, Gifts For One Gifts For All to encourage and reward people for doing something positive.  Then I remembered a course I took geared at recognizing people doing something nice for someone else that was above and beyond the call of duty.  As part of the course, we had a homework assignment, where we were given "Caught Ya!!!" Cards.  What are Caught Ya Cards, you ask?  The cards provided in the course where cards given to individuals that had performed an act of kindness or went to extra mile to help someone.  The person observing the act of kindness would fill out the card providing the name of the person performing the act of kindness and describe the act and give the card to that individual.  The purpose of the cards was to recognize people doing something positive and encouraging them to continue their acts of kindness.   

I've decided to build on this concept as part of my commitment to encourage and reward people to perform acts of kindness by creating my own Gifts For One Gifts For All "Caught Ya" Cards.  The Gifts For One Gifts For All "Caught Ya" Cards commend the recipient for doing something nice and rewards them with a $10.00 OFF eCOUPON to the online gift store.  A minimum purchase of $20.00 is required to redeem the coupon and if the recipient spends $30.00 or more, then 10% of their purchase is donated to cause supported by Gifts For One Gifts For All in its Shop For A Cause Program. It's a great way to recognize and reward someone for commiting acts of kindness and give them an opportunity to continue to do something positive when they shop.

My goal is to distribute as many "Caught Ya" Cards as possible and raise money for worthwhile causes.  But I don't want to have all the fun, so anyone looking to join in on the fun can reproduce or request Gifts For One Gifts For All "Caught Ya" Cards to distribute themselves to people they see performing acts of kindness.  If you're interested in receiving Gifts For One Gifts For All "Caught Ya" Cards, just email me at info@giftsforonegiftsforall.com and type "Caught Ya Cards" in the subject line.
