Hello!
I hope you’re keeping safe and well.
We’re reaching the end of the year, so I wanted to do a little round-up update post today!
We’re all sadly aware of the negatives and challenges, and for some, tragedies that 2020 brought, but I wanted to take some time to focus on some positives.
Firstly, lots of us had the opportunity to spend lots more time at home with family, something that we may not get to experience again and I know so many of you made the most of this time, and we were made so much more aware of the amazing work of our frontline workers and their dedication to help others – something that we are all the more grateful for and won’t take for granted.
The kindness that has been shown to others, by the majority of people, whether it be raising money for struggling charities, or helping neighbours, or even strangers in times of need.
On a personal note, we’ve been touched by the support you’ve shown The Smile Parcel during this time, and it’s been a pleasure to handwrite your lovely notes to go inside surprise pick-me-up parcels to send to friends and family.
This time enabled us to re-evaluate our goals, and so we saw the comeback of our letterbox friendly “The Smile Parcel Mini” gifts – which we love creating.
We also joined a new exciting platform, KINDpreneurs – kind shopping, an online marketplace to showcase small businesses and entrepreneurs using their business as a force for good, offering products with purpose that have a positive impact on people, the planet or animals.
You can find out more about KINDpreneurs here: http://www.kindpreneurs.com
We’re so grateful for your loyalty to The Smile Parcel, lots of you have been receiving our subscription parcels for a long time now and we appreciate every single order, as your purchases means we are able to create more parcels and reach a wider audience, to share a smile and a mental health boost to more people – which means you are pretty fabulous!
I hope you have a lovely Christmas and we’re keeping our fingers tightly crossed for a better 2021.
