Spread a little kindness

Time needed: 20–30 minutes

Best for: Any time you want to give back 

Kindness has a way of reminding us that we’re all connected. When we give back, we create ripples that reach much further than we realise. And sometimes, it’s the simplest acts of generosity that mean the most.

Once you’ve enjoyed your Retreat Yourself box, you can give it a second life by filling it with thoughtful items to gift to the Happy Boxes Project, supporting Indigenous women in remote communities across Australia.

For many of these women, access to everyday essentials isn’t easy, and receiving a Happy Box filled with care means so much more than just the products inside. It’s a reminder that they are seen, supported, and not alone. By spending a little time to refill your box, you’re not only brightening someone else’s day, but you’re also creating a ripple of kindness that flows both ways.

How to do it:

1. Gather a few thoughtful, practical, or uplifting items you’d like to pass on (toiletries, sanitary products, snacks, small treats).

2. Refill your empty Retreat Yourself box with these items.

3. Write a short note of encouragement or kindness to include inside.

4. Scan the QR code below and send your Happy Box to Happy Boxes Project. Also, our warehouse is a Happy Boxes drop-off point. If you're local to the Torquay/Geelong area, you can drop your refilled box to us and we'll ensure it makes it way to the right people.

5. Reflect on how doing this activity made you feel.
