This is where we post what we have to give away at no cost or obligation to the person receiving..... Please do not offer to pay the person sending the RAOK. That defeats the purpose of the RAOK. Pay it forward!

For our purposes, a Random Act of Kindness (to be referred to as a RAOK) is defined as something nice one PBS member does for another PBS member with no credits or money changing hands! The idea is for people to post items they are willing to send another member FREE of charge orcredits(including shipping). This is a great way to make someone's day at the same time that you can declutter your house of things you no longer need/use but weren't sure you wanted to discard. NOTE: Some of us don't remember every member's nickname, so it is helpful to write that by youraddress label, when you send a RAOK, to make it easier for receiving members to thank you. Please REMEMBER to thank members as some items do get lost in mail and we want to know that our USPS is doing their job!

The way to do this, is to list items to this thread that you are willing to send as RAOKs the way we list damaged books/ARCs/etc. in the Book Bazaar, and make them first come, first serve. When an item has been spoken for, please cross it off or delete it from your post. You might want to show who got it but that's up to you. Just make sure you update as frequently as possible so that no one is disappointed. Please everyone just use one post each and keep it updated. NOTE: Before posting a ROAK, please check this month's *** I Wish thread to see if you are able to fill a members' Wish, first. This is especially true for Coke codes, boxtops for education, etc.

If you see something you'd like, PM the member with your address. To post things you are wishing for, see the *** Monthly I WIsh thread.*** And to keep these threads clean and easy to read, please use the ***Monthly Thank you thread*** to thank people for things you have received. Always let the members know, either in a PM or Thank You that you rec'd the item so they know it's not lost. Although most of us feel it is better to give than to receive, still, we like to know our post office delivers!

Obviously since RAOKs are free but cost the sender shipping, if you request a RAOK from someone and they aren't able to ship it for a while, please be patient! Please mark out items as they are taken so other members are not disappointed.

If you have questions, please feel free to PM me and ask.

I have a few things to offer and may add more when I find time to go through my Christmas "stuff"

 

4 Christmas kitchen towels - prefer to send one to a person   TAKEN

OK to request one of the two following items if you request a towel

Stuffed snowman- it's kind of hard to describe - is sort of a flat but will sit up if  positioned just so.  Has a plaid scarf and hat and a bright carrot nose.  Because ot its eyes, it probably wouldn't be suitable for a young child's toy.  Made of white low nap fleecey material    TAKEN

Snowman that has a mechanism inside to make it taller/thinner or shorter/fatter (like it is melting).  Has a flat bottom so sets on a shelf well.  TAKEN

I have the book A Caribbean Mystery by Agatha Christie. It is a paperback from 1966 so it has some wear. The back cover is ripping off and the binding is a little loose at the end of the book. No pages are missing or have come completely loose so it's still completley readable, but definitely not postable.

I have a small game to offer, called "Packesel--Le Petit Bourriquot".  It has a little wooden burro and small sticks in 4 different colors.  You see how high you can stack the sticks on the burro's back.  I guess it's similar to Jenga, just a much smaller version.  Hope someone will enjoy it! 

Taken!
