The House of Hills is once again participating in the
Our goal is to give something EVERY day of the month. Big or small, every give is a gift to someone! Join the giving with us. We’d love to hear what you’re doing.
Today’s give was actually a culmination of several days of giving. I mentioned Day 2 of the Giving Challenge that I had sent some goodies with our AMAZING customer service team. Well, actually, I sent more than that, but I didn’t want them to know so I couldn’t blog about it.
The leaders of the different teams in my company had teamed up so we could send a gift for every day of the retreat. Each day, they opened a bag and found something fun inside.
- Day One: A funny video we made for them as well as popcorn and M&Ms to eat while they watched it.
- Day Two: Individual baggies of Hershey’s Hugs and Kisses.
- Day Three: Fuzzy socks to wear on the chilly nights.
- Day Four: The book “Jesus Calling” with a hand written note inside.
They all really appreciated the gifts. I heard that they looked forward to the surprise every day. So much fun.
I also heard that the thing they LOVED the MOST was the hand written notes. In a world where everything is read on a computer screen, it is so refreshing to actually read something on a piece of paper. And, everybody knows that it takes more time to hand write something than it does to type it. A hand written notes really shows that you care about the person and that they are important to you.
The best part about hand written notes—they don’t cost much. You don’t even have to have a fancy note card. Paper will do.
So, I challenge you today! Before the end of the month, I challenge you to write a note to someone. Take a minute to just tell someone why they are special. Wouldn’t it be AWESOME to pass out notes at Thanksgiving telling your friends and family how thankful you are for them!
So, write a note! Then, come back and share who you wrote it to. I’d love to see this post blow up with comments!!!
You know what! I’m going to make it even more fun! (I’m totally thinking of this while I’m typing.) Let’s do a GIVEAWAY! Everyone who comments on this post telling me who they wrote a note to will be entered to win a $10 Target Gift Card (from me) so they can buy a set of pretty note cards.
GO!
WRITE A NOTE!
Then, come back and comment! WHOOP!
Giveaway will end November 30th. One comment per note you write. This is totally my idea. Nobody gave me anything. Have fun!!

LOVED all the sweet gifts. Thank you so much for organizing it all!
I recently wrote a short, digital note (email) to a friend who I would not be working with “in committee,” just to thank her for her time, expertise and sense of humor. I think I NEED those note cards & some stamps, but I’d be happy to buy you a cup of coffee instead. :~)
