I have often said that crafty peeps have a 6th sense. Over the last couple of weeks I have found some random items that I knew that two of my friends would enjoy.
For a friend in high school, I found a couple of Ziggy items at the thrift shop. I remembered that in school she LOVED Ziggy, but was not sure she still did. Well, I bought them and mailed them to her and surprise they arrived on her birthday which I completely forget every year. For the longest time, I thought her birthday was Groundhog Day and would be a month late every year! She received them and loves them and was so touched that I remembered she loved Ziggy. She also thought it was awesome that I got them there for her birthday! LOL!
The second package was for a bloggy friend that I have not met, but feel like I know from her blog. She has a Granddaughter that she loves very much that loves faeries. I collected a tooth fairy cloth book (which was identical to a pillow I sent a month or so back at a different Goodwill). To the book I added some Disney Fairy headbands and a Tinkerbell wallet. I mailed them this week and then reading her blog found out that the week had been a really bad one for both her and the Grandbaby. The Grandbaby broke her elbow in a fall at a party, her husband got cut with a chainsaw, and one of her beloved doggies passed away.
She has not mentioned that it arrived, but she has a lot going on, but I am sure that the Grandbaby will love it!
I felt the urge to buy the items and then the urge to get them in the mail this week to both. I guess that 6th sense was guiding me again.
Random acts of kindness!

Those were some sweet things for you to do, especially for the friend who has so many things happening right now. I’m sure your gift was greatly appreciated! It really is nice to get a RAK when you least expect it!

You are so thoughtful! And what great timing for a gift, she has been in a lot of pain and lonely since she can’t play with her friends. It was sweet of you to think of her, and she loved the gifts. thanks so much!
