51 Low-cost and No-cost Things You Can Give Today

Have you every wished you had something to give someone but didn’t know what? I’ve often been guilty of thinking that giving had to be a big donation of time, skills or money. I call this monumental giving.

But I discovered that by simply sharing daily low-cost or no-cost acts of selflessness, I could have a big impact on someone’s life and I felt happier and more fulfilled. I call this incremental giving.

Some of the best things we can give are not money at all, like gentleness, comfort, a smile or a shoulder to lean on.
