“I did some acts of kindness with Kleenex® Brand products as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars #KleenexCare”
You always hear me complain this time of year as the weather goes from warm and sunny to dark and gloomy. I am not a fan of cold and with this kind of weather comes so many more germs. Having three kids there is always some kind of illness being passed around. Being prepared when one of those nasty colds enters our home always makes it so much more bearable.
One of the products sent I had never seen before. It was the Kleenex® Brand Car Wedge. I have to say this is absolutely ingenious. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been in need of a tissue while driving only to discover that the night before one of the kids stole the box of tissues and now it’s stepped on, ripped open, and tucked under the third row seat of the van and the only one back there is a two year old strapped into his car seat that can’t help me. I love love love how these are designed to stay tucked right between my seat (or the passengers) and the center console.
Kleenex® Brand wants you to jump on board and participate in their “Share the Kleenex Care” movement! To participate all you have to do is be kind. Pretty easy, huh? Kleenex® Brand products enable acts of care – giving a friend or family member a Kleenex® is a small act of care with major impact. Put together a care package for a neighbor, a germ kit for a classroom. Just offering a pack of Kleenex® to someone while standing in line is an easy way to show you care. It’s so simple and means so much to the person on the receiving line. So much so that you could even inspire them to be kind to someone else!
One small act of kindness can help brighten the world.
This cold and flu season, show people how much they mean to you by sharing the Kleenex® care. Give a Kleenex® Tissue to someone who needs it, and see what a difference it can make. Together, we’ll spread kindness far and wide! Remember to share with #KleenexCare
With the remainder of the products we decided to put together a special ‘Classroom Healthy Kit’. We already sent in a box full of wipes and tissues in the beginning of the year but we wanted to just send a small little care package that the teacher could keep at her desk and use as she saw fit. In it we included:
- Kleenex® Brand Slim Packs
- Kleenex® Brand To-Go Packs
- Hand Soap
- Disinfecting Wipes
- Hand Lotion
- Book of Kindness
Gavin was so pleased to bring his kit to school. He is such a kind person already so it’s not even out of character for him to share like this. He’s already asked if we could put one together for the main office secretaries too! These kits were really inexpensive too! I just used a container I had from back to school shopping and filled it with things that I knew would be useful in preventing cold and flu and help managing it for when it hits. Kleenex softness is a catalyst for showing kindness and care so of course it was important to include them in!
I am embarassed to say that I haven’t done any acts of kindness lately. I think I might have to borrow your classroom healthy kit idea. I hope you don’t mind.
We teach our kids the importance of random acts of kindness and being kind in general, it is always nice to pass on goodness, it makes youself feel so great inside.
We like to volunteer to fill in for Meals on Wheels over the holidays so that the regular workers can have the holidays off and the recipients still receive these meals. It is very humbling and a good thing for my son to see. Sometimes you need something like this to show you how truly blessed you really are. Thank you for sharing.
We love Kleenex. I keep some in my car, diaper bag, purse, and at home.
Love Kleenex! It’s such a great feeling helping someone else out! We try to help other military families out around this time of year as well!
That car wedge is ingenius I need one for my car! As for acts of kindness we just donated a bunch of diapers and toiletries to a family we heard about who is in serious need. The dad just got diagnosed with stomach cancer and hasn’t worked in awhile due to all his symptoms and the SAHM mom just had a c-section delivery and is having healing complications because she is trying to do too much to care for everyone. It was a great opportunity to talk to my kids about taking care of those in need.
What a sweetie! I am sure they appreciated the kit you guys prepared. School employees are exposed to so many germs; it’s wonderful to think of their wellbeing also.
what a wonderful ideal for the teacher,,this would make a awesome gift for the holidays too
What a great kindness kit. This would be great for my son’s teacher!
That is such a sweet idea! I love it and definitely going to make one for my little kids classrooms. I know their teachers need it with 35+ kids in each class passing around germs. Thanks for the wonderful idea.
Gavin is such a cutie! I love that he was able to show his kindness with Kleenex!
Just saying thank you is an act of kindness. It makes me insane when someone holds the door for a group of people and not a single person says thank you. Say THANK YOU! That alone spreads kindness. I saw this happen today. A boy probably 9 years old held open a door for a group of 35+ year olds at the movie. None of them said thank you, they all just ignored him. I stopped to say thank you and he smiled and it obviously made his mother happy.

We use Kleenex tissues and have then around the house, the car and in the kid’s backpacks.
That is such a thoughtful gift and more than needed in a school! I love the extra touch with the book.
Love the care pack and love Kleenex. You can never have enough Kleenex around, especially during fall and winter!
I love the idea of the wedge! Im guilty of having the kleenex in the glove compartment and never being able to get it when I need it!
Jennifer, that was such a great idea and a super-cool gesture for Gavin’s teacher!
We have Kleenex lodged everywhere too . . . ESPECIALLY the car!
I live and die by Kleenex. With two little kids, it’s inevitable. I really like the gift basket – that’s a great idea.
