Welcome to the Random Acts of Kindness thread, also known as a RAOK. This is where we post things to give away to others, asking NOTHING in return but a thank you. No money or credits are exchanged. We give freely, at our own expense. If you see something you’d like, PM the member with your mailing info. Please be sure to put full postage on any packages you mail out. Members have reported receiving "gifts" with postage due.

Please note that we must abide by PBS rules - NO buying, selling or advertising allowed.

For liability reasons, sorry, no meds of any kind may be posted in this forum This includes Rxs, OTC medicines, vitamins and supplements.

RAOK rules -
You may not ask for anything in return for the things you post here. Please do not ask for postage; do not ask to swap or trade.
If you ask for a RAOK posted by another member, please do not offer to pay or give something return. This is not allowed and defeats the purpose of the Random Act of Kindness - try to pay it forward and perhaps grant some wishes in the ***I Wish thread***.
We ask that you do not reply within the thread. We are different from most forums in that way. When we go to wishes, we see wishes; in the RAOK, we see just what’s being given away. If you have a question about it, simply PM the member. All RAOKs are handled privately between members via PM.
Please do not post single use codes - such as Coke codes - in this forum. Post that you have them and let members PM you for them. It saves all the replies within the thread (as above). You may start a separate thread if you want to post them that way. Or check the *** I Wish thread*** and simply grant a Coke code wish or two. Codes that can be used over and over again, are perfectly fine to post here in the RAoK thread.
Please do not ask for ‘everything on your list’ - yes, it’s been done! - let others have a chance.
One of our most important rules ---you must acknowledge receipt of the things sent to you! This is our biggest problem. People take the time to post, wrap and mail, then never know if the pkg arrived. Please say thanks for what you receive, either by PM or in the ****Thank You thread**** here. It’s the polite thing to do, and we all worry about our mail getting through. Those who do not do this will often find their future requests ignored, sorry.

Please include your nickname when you mail out a RAOK. This makes you easier to find and thank.
Be sure to check your listing and edit as needed, so people are not disappointed. We know that life gets in the way and computers crash …….but please try.

RAOK Tips -
Think carefully about what you want to give away before you post. Postage costs these days can be terrible for over-sized or heavy, non media, mail. We have all been shocked by the postage for something we mailed here, it happens often. Think first! This is a fun place, but you don’t need to empty you wallet by taking part!! It’s wonderful to do something nice for others, but be kind to yourself too.
Before you post something to give away, check the ***I Wish thread *** --- someone may already be asking for it!

If you mark "taken" by items that have been asked for, please do so at beginning of the line and if possible, make the word TAKEN in another color so it's easily apparent to our members that something is no longer available.This avoids disappointments and keeps you from getting more requests for an item that has already been claimed.

If one of us contacts you about changing your post, please understand that we have to follow PBS rules and guidelines. Often we have to ask someone to change or delete a post because of that. New things come up here all the time. If something is not appropriate, we will tell you so, and ask you to change it. Remember that the PBS team does oversee the forums. They edit posts and have been known to suspend accounts. We hate to have that happen to our fellow RAOKers when we can take care of problems ourselves.

As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to PM me and ask. We are always happy to be of help to members of the RAOK forum, new or old.Thanks for participating in this great part of PBS! Enjoy!

Sorry for the delayed posting of the forums for December.....I expected to get in at a decent hour last night........we left Tuesday to pick up DD in Tallahassee after her classes got out at 3pm, then drive to my eldest daughter's in MD (near DC).  Made the rush trip to spend Thanksgiving and Friday with them-- you know I've been having withdrawal symptoms from not seeing baby Cole since July!  But traffic back south had many delays and it was 1am before we got home.

Good Morning!  

I have a single POKEMON card called HONEDGE Basic from McDonalds.  I don't know anything about it...lol...can anyone use this?

I also have a POST-IT Full Adhesive Note coupon for $1.00 off a purchase of $4.00 or more

I am cleaning up around here so I will post more as I find it.

If you are interested in either item...please send me your address with the request. 

Thanks bunches!!

Merry Christmas to All!!

And with December upon us, welcome to catsandroses 2nd annual  "12 Days of Christmas" giveaways.  Will be posting brand new (or like new or even vintage) items for you to keep or to give to others, or for stocking stuffers, Christmas themed items/stickers, etc.   Will list an item or two each day, so keep checking back to see what's been added, and PM me if interested.  Hopefully can give to 12 different people (though repeats are certainly possible, if no new person claims the item).   Here goes!

"On the First Day of Christmas, my true love gave to me......"  (you have to hum the tune out loud or at least in your head to qualify )

1) "A soft green Croft & Barrow gown!".   TAKEN  Size M, pretty mint green color, SO soft (blend of cotton/polyester).  New with Kohl's store tag attached.  https://flic.kr/p/pYCkhy

"On the Second Day of Christmas, my true love gave to me....."   

2) "White Ginger Perfume!".  TAKEN  Or more specifically a small .5 oz. bottle of "Hawaiian White Ginger Cologne" from Avon.  Smells wonderful!  Also will be including some beauty samples with this!   https://flic.kr/p/pYVRwB

"On the Third Day of Christmas, my true love gave to me....."

3)  "Piano Socks!"   TAKEN  Cute pair of knee socks with piano keys, perfect for the musician.  Pkg. says size 10-13; look to be a large size (I think about a ladies 9/10), though I haven't removed from packaging to check.  https://flic.kr/p/pZoPJs   

"On the Fourth Day of Christmas, my true love gave to me....."     

4)   "Stationary Set!"  TAKEN Sweet little Japanese anime letter set, including 12 sheets of decorated "Happy friends" paper, 6 envelopes, and a sheet of small stickers. https://flic.kr/p/pZuSh1

"On the Fifth Day of Christmas, my true love gave to me....."

5) "Five Sparkle-ing Things!!"  TAKEN  Well, actually vintage costume-jewelry pins, from Gemex.  These were sold in kits, with the little rhinestones to be glued on with craft/jewelry glue.  One horseshoe with blue rhinestones, others with flowers/leaves, wreath pins.  Some have been started; believe all the rhinestones are there, just need to be glued on.  https://flic.kr/p/qhxvqq

"On the Sixth Day of Christmas, my true love gave to me....."

6)  "Cute Christmas Stickers!"  TAKEN  Includes one package of 12 Iridescent seals, a package of Dennison Christmas stickers (8 sheets of these), and two sheets of miscellaneous Christmas stickers.  https://flic.kr/p/q1d7wm

"On the Seventh Day of Christmas, my true love gave to me....."

7)  "Kitty Silk-Screened Panel!"  TAKEN  This is the last of my cat panels, and I think I saved the best 'til last.  It's marked "Fibre Design, Lynne Farren, Original Designs Silk Screened on 100% Cotton, Washable".  Size is approx. 14" x 16" and features adorable images of smiling kitties, with birds in between, with this lyric all around the edge:  "Cats are a mysterious kind of folk......there is more passing in their minds than we are aware of"  (how true is this?!!).  Panel can be painted, embroidered, embellished in any way and used as a center square of a quilt, made into a wallhanging, pillow, etc.  https://flic.kr/p/pZi1df

"On the Eighth Day of Christmas, my true love gave to me....." 

8) "Kids Stocking Stuffers!"  TAKEN  Included is an adorable soft & sweet stuffed teddy bear, a kids Christmas "Stitch Quick" kit, a container of Glitzy Green no mess play foam, a Swooping Superman Glider (Wendy's happy meal toy), a 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Hot Wheels car and a 1957 Roadster Hot Wheels car.  https://flic.kr/p/pmXKZU

"On the Ninth Day of Christmas, my true love gave to me....."

9)  "Two Tubes of Lipstick!"   TAKEN These are Amway's Artistry lipsticks, one in French Beige (this one has been finger-swiped, to test for color) one in Perfect Plum (lighter than what I think of as a plum shade -- pretty color).   I'll be including some Mary Kay samples in the package, so you can try several new lipstick shades!   https://flic.kr/p/qjq4yM

"On the Tenth Day of Christmas, my true love gave to me...."

10) "Rubber Christmas Stamps!"  TAKEN  Two from Stampin' Up and one (w/three ornaments on it) from Hampton Art Stamps.  Also including some blank card stock for you to use (for bookmarks or cards, etc.).  https://flic.kr/p/qk7aQ8

"On the Eleventh Day of Christmas, my true love gave to me....."

11) "Cross Stitch Floss and Two Kits!"  TAKEN  Included are two cross stitch kits:  Dimensions stamped cross stitch, "Desert Cactus", and a tiny Christmas ornament with bunny and sheep on it, along with "Happy Holidays".  Also included are six skeins of colorful DMC floss and directions for making bracelets (and other crafts) with the floss.  https://flic.kr/p/qmx6qB

"On the Twelfth Day of Christmas, my true love gave to me a....."

12)  "Lover's Package Teddy!!"  TAKEN  Ok, so maybe this is more for your significant other than for you .   Sexy stretch lace & mesh navy blue teddy from Fantasy Lingerie called "Flights of Fantasy" in size M.  NEW with tags attached (Lover's Package, originally $33!).  Photos:  https://flic.kr/p/qnbQry    https://flic.kr/p/q5J1FY

Guess that finishes the song; Merry Christmas everyone!
