As the festive season continues, many Coasties are seeking ways to spread kindness and joy to those around them.

The Hibiscus Coast offers plenty of opportunities to brighten someone’s day and make a positive impact in the neighbourhood.

One thoughtful way to spread holiday cheer is by baking treats and sharing them with neighbours.

Whether it’s a batch of freshly baked cookies, a loaf of homemade bread, or some festive cupcakes, simple acts of baking can bring warmth and happiness to those who may be feeling lonely or isolated this time of year.

Another easy but powerful gesture is leaving kind notes.

A handwritten message or small card with a positive, encouraging quote can brighten someone's day.

It could be as simple as leaving a note on a neighbour’s doorstep.

Supporting local businesses is also a meaningful way to spread kindness during the holiday season.

Many small businesses on the Hibiscus Coast rely on community support, and this time of year offers a great opportunity to show appreciation by shopping locally.

Whether it’s buying a thoughtful gift or enjoying a meal at a local restaurant, supporting these businesses helps keep the community vibrant and thriving.

For those looking to give back in a more hands-on way, volunteering is another fantastic option.

The gift of time can be just as meaningful as any material present.

It doesn’t take much to brighten someone’s day.

The spirit of the season can be felt in small, simple acts.

As we head into the new year, let’s remember that kindness is something we can share all year long, not just during the holidays.
