Then a few weeks ago, I received an email from Clare, a business ettiquette & social skills expert, who mentioned an idea about making "NICE Person of the Week" stickers. Something you could stick on a person's shirt when they do a nice deed. I loved it!
So I whipped up a design, ordered some stickers, made a little card to package it, and lo and behold, Seals of Recognition. I ended up changing the phrase on the sticker because I wanted to make sure "NICE" was right in the center, but here they are:
So? What do you think? Will people use them? At the very least, it's an introduction to Operation NICE, which is really the goal, right?
I'm still playing around with the text on the back, but here's what it says, if you're curious:
HOW TO USE: When you witness an individual performing an act of kindness*, reward them with this official Seal of Recognition, placed on their person for all to see. No kind act is too small.
*Acts of kindness include but are not limited to holding a door, giving a hug, saying a friendly “hello,” being polite, buying someone a cup of coffee, picking up litter, sharing a coupon, volunteering, helping someone cross the street, giving up a seat on a bus/train/subway, helping someone reach something on a tall shelf...you get the idea.
Operation NICE is a movement which encourages individuals to be proactively nice. If everyone was a little bit kinder to the people they encountered each day, perhaps the world would be a more pleasant place.
I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks darlings! I hope people have fun with them. :)
These are awesome! I LOVE them! And I love your site. I found it through a friends blog and am just loving the goodness of it.
I love them (and am excited to have a pack of my own). The only problem is that they look so cute on my desk that I don't want to give them away! :-) I guess I'll part with them eventually....
fantastic, fantastic, fantastic. where can we buy them?!
Great idea. I would be honored if someone gave me one but would be embarrassed to leave it on. I would like it better if it indicated someone else had bestowed the honor...such as "Someone Thinks I'm Nice" or "A Total Stranger Gave Me This Nice Award" or even "Nice Person Award".
You have such great ideas!
very sweet- a lovely idea! i would totally use these. when can i scoop some up?
What a nice idea! Kudos to you for spreading the niceness even more.
Cheryl - I love the "NICE Person Award" idea!!! I'm going to steal it from you, is that okay??
You guys are so sweet. I wasn't thinking about selling them. Hmmm. I'll have to think about that. If you all have any ideas, please let me know!
Would you want them the way they are? Would you want more than four in a pack?
Those are adorable. I would wear one proudly!
I think they are AMAZING!
you did a go job on these!
at first i was a little hesitant, imagining myself handing a sticker to an adult, but then again, people want to be heroes and recognized as such and this would be so great!!
I think these would go like hot cakes on Etsy! maybe in packs of 5 or something.... you could donate some of the proceeds to a NICE organization?
really great idea - still waiting for mugs and t-shirts! :-0
oh! these are great! i would definitely use them around the office!!!
I love the stickers. End of story. :)
What a great idea!!!!! Market it, my dear! I know I would purchase them.

I'm a huge fan of the idea of "tagging" people that are caught doing good. So I think the stickers are a cool idea.
this is an awesome idea! i'd want to buy a whole pack of stickers to paste on random nice ppl.
I would so get one!
They are so cool. Love it!
Love them!

These are totally rad :)
Totally, totally fabulous. I would love to stick these on people and I'd definitely want more than 5. :) Please let us know how we can get some. I'd love to buy them and have part of the proceeds to towards niceness somehow.
I love it. It introduces people to the site and also encourages them to recognize people doing good things which will encourage them to be pro-actively nice. I like this kind catch 22.
Love 'em!!! Do you have "nice" tattoo?
I think these are great! I would definitely buy them and use them all the time. It's an unexpected way to let someone know you noticed and you appreciate those nice things they do, no matter how small!
You are on to something! These are a great idea.
Just think how NICE a person would feel getting one of these just for being nice! You are a breath of fresh air!
I definitely agree with the "Nice Person Award" or "Someone Thinks I'm Nice". I think the person who is given the sticker might feel more comfortable with it. I want them to hand out where I work as I'm trying to find ways to recognize employees during patient care interactions. Seriously, get going on these! ;-)
I love those stickers! How can I get some??
They are just wonderful. The idea is beautiful and it would really makes someone's day. Nice people really are not thinking about their act and it's good to let them know
It is a very informative and useful post thanks it is good material to read this post increases my knowledge
