Supposedly it was peace activist Anne Herbert who coined the term “Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty” when she wrote it on a placemat in Sausalito, circa 1983. The idea, often distilled to “random acts of kindness,” has seeped into media and our psyches, even providing the gist of the movie Pay It Forward, a Kleenex-fest starring Haley Joel Osment as a translucent-skinned sickling with a heart of gold. So what better name for our weird little 14% off sale, right? It’s a random act of retail kindness, and we did it to make you smile.
Our Random Act of Kindness Sale lasts through April 15. It features 12 of our top stores, all offering 14% off. Who says consumerism can’t be laced with a little kindness?
Maybe today you’ll be inspired to commit your own senseless act of beauty, whether it’s paying for the latte next in line at the coffee shop, or picking up that piece of litter on the sidewalk instead of walking by, or taping a page of poetry to the wall inside the elevator of your building (our personal favorite).
However it manifests itself, a little kindness goes a long way.
