As someone who has always loved to leave little surprises for strangers (including drawing on the walls behind store clothing racks as a toddler…but I won’t get into that), I’m completely enamored with the idea of the Matchbox Project.

The premise is simple (as stated on the website):

Each week, a decorated matchbox with a tiny present hidden inside is left by a girl (and sometimes willing friends) somewhere in her travels. It’s a random act of semi-artistic kindness aimed at disrupting someone’s day in a tiny but positive way. That’s if they dare to pick it up…

Kudos to these participants! This project has inspired me to conjure up some random acts of artistic kindness. Any ideas?
