About a year ago I was in Target and passed by the cards section. My eye was drawn to the most adorable set of cards made by a gal named Kate Smith. These cards had the cutest drawings and funniest sayings. I immediately put like 30 cards in my cart because 1. I love sending snail mail to people and 2. I love making people happy. And all of Kate Smith’s cards do just that – make you happy!
One piece of her work in particular inspired me. It was a picture of an adorable pretzel with the following caption >>
A pretzel is just a piece of dough, who found itself in a tough position, and decided to make the best of it. Be a pretzel.
Do you knot just love that?!
Haha see what I did there?
I reached out to Kate Smith and asked her if she wanted to work together on a sweet little Act of Kindness idea meant to encourage someone who might be currently “in a tough position.”
Kate is the sweetest and sent me a giant pack of her image printed beautifully on cardstock!
They are perfect for attaching to a bag of pretzels and delivering to your friend who needs a smile, a sweet reminder, and a snack.
Simply pick up your favorite bag of pretzels from the store (bonus points if they are dipped in chocolate), attach with some curling ribbon, tape, or get fancy with a tiny clothespin clip like THESE or THESE!
I would love to gift 5 Happy Home Fairy readers a set of 10 Encouraging Pretzel cards by Kate Smith so that YOU can brighten someone’s day, too!
The first 5 people to comment on this post will be the winners!

I love this idea too. God wants us to show kindness no matter where we are or what we’re doing. ❤
We treat our community’s AA group each month, and this would be a perfect way to do so!
These are just the cutest and would be perfect to leave on neighbour’s door steps while we are in lockdown in Sydney. Thanks for sharing!
