Best Present This Holiday Season: A Gift That Inspires and Gives Back All Year, Just $9.99
(3BLMedia/theCSRfeed) Santa Cruz, CA—Judging from the number of holiday gift guides it’s in this season, a colorful, dynamic deck of cards that encourages year-round intentional acts of kindness from Boom Boom! Revolution (http://boomboomcards.com) is proving to be one of the hottest present ideas for 2009.
Retailing for just $9.99, Boom Boom! Cards provide an online and offline “pay it forward” social experience in the spirit of generosity and compassion. Each deck contains 26 beautifully designed cards which suggest actions such as thanking a mentor, stopping gossip, picking up litter, offering genuine compliments, acknowledging exceptional effort or holding the door open for someone. Take a look at what one person learned about the value of forgiveness http://boomboomcards.com/card/83/2388 . The deck is registered online with a unique tracking number and the actions are then paid, or “played” forward. The online social networking component creates a global community where members can connect through sharing experiences, offering comments, collaborating around challenges, a global tracking map, as well as video and photo posts. It’s “pay it forward” for the 21st century! Plus, a portion of the purchase price of the cards is donated to a designated charity chosen by the customer…with Boom Boom! Cards you get to be nice, twice!
“Like a boomerang, we believe that whatever thoughts, actions and words you put out into the world will eventually find their way back to you, but not before covering a lot of ground along the way,” explains founder Mary Beth Campbell, about the evolution of the company. “The quickest and simplest way to communicate that karmic notion is by saying, ‘Boom Boom!’ You get back what you give.”
A huge hit with celebrities at the Emmys and the Teen Choice Awards earlier this year, the “Kindness Kits” are available in both teen and original (geared for adults) editions. The teen pack is great for schools and community groups, empowering students to become “Agents of Altruism.” Parents can engage with kids while doing the cards and make it a meaningful family learning experience.
