Forget chocolate – this advent calendar lets you plant trees, fund education & save lives for $24. People are ditching traditional gifts to spread joy, one good deed at a time.
The story
You wake up, grab your phone, and BAM – another news story about how everything’s awful. But hang on, because I just heard about something that’s seriously restoring my faith in humanity.
So there’s this thing called a Good Deeds Advent Calendar [yeah, it’s exactly what it sounds like]. Instead of getting chocolate each day, you get to help make the world a tiny bit better. And it’s blowing up right now.
For like $24 [legit less than a couple festive lattes], you get to do stuff like plant trees, help fund someone’s education, or support kids in hospice care. Every. Single. Day. People are gifting these instead of the usual socks-and-sweaters combo, and I’m kinda here for it?
My favorite part is seeing kids get super into it. They open their daily good deed and suddenly they’re planning to save endangered species and help feed hungry families. It’s giving main character energy, but make it wholesome ðŸ˜
Like, in a world of endless scrolling and doom-posting, people are literally competing to see who can do more good. There are different versions popping up everywhere – helping ambulance crews, keeping elderly folks company during the holidays, you name it.
Not to get too sappy, but maybe this is what the holidays were supposed to be about all along? While we’re all stressed about finding the perfect gift, turns out the best present might just be making someone else’s day better.
Ngl, kind of obsessed with how this is catching on. Proof that humans can actually be pretty amazing when we try? 🎄✨
