NICE Person? Thoughts?

I've been giving some thought to maybe starting up a new weekly post. NICE Person of the Week. You all could nominate someone, tell me a little bit about them, why they are nice, maybe I could even have a short questionnaire or something. And each week I'll pick a new NICE person to feature on this site.

But I wanted to know your thoughts! I want you to feel like you are a part of this site because you are...the most important part, actually. Is this something you guys would be interested in? Do you already have someone in mind? It could be someone in the blogosphere that you think does a great job of promoting kindness. Or maybe a family member that goes above and beyond the call of duty. And maybe I could whip up a NICE Certificate for them and mail it off. I'll have to work out the kinks, but if you all have any suggestions or recommendations, I'd love to hear it!

I really like the idea. Are you thinking that you'd send them out or that you'd make them available via download so readers can print them out and address them themselves?

Andi said...

Cute idea!

Alexis said...

I love that idea!

Tracey said...

I think that is an excellent idea and can already think of one or two people to nominate :)

A person a week sounds like a lot of work for you. Maybe you want to start with a nice person of the month!

I love it and know the first person I would nominate.

I think this is a great idea! I know so many super nice people in my life!

And, there's nothing like positive reinforcement to make this world a better place.

Oh yay! Thanks for the comments everyone!

Cheryl - I'm hoping it won't be too too much work! I'm thinking if I can have people fill out a questionnaire, then maybe I can do a lot of copying and pasting. :)

Leandra - I was thinking I could print them and mail them to the recipient. But I guess only if I get the person's address.

I'm glad to hear you guys are interested and can already think of people to nominate!

Great idea! Is it possible to put in your etsy store because I'd like to be able to give someone such a wonderfully designed nice certificate!

I just joined discovered your blog yesterday and I LOVE it! I like the NICE Person of the Week idea. I would definitely have some nominations for you.

Tammy Howard said...

Lately I have encountered a lot of NON-nice people. just plain rude. i am not alone. i would like to nominate the rudest person of the week...lol.

Sonja said...

I think it's important to let nice people know they are appreciated. It ultimately promotes niceness, and everyone benefits. Wonderful idea, dearie! Perhaps you could make the certificate in a pdf format to be sent to the nominator to fill in the name and present to the nomin-nice-ee?
