Stumped? Thirteen Ways to Pay it Forward

We've got some great participation from both bloggers (check them out here!) and commenters so far…but if you're still stumped on ideas for ways to enter my Pay It Forward Contest (the prizes are awesome—Buffy, Amazon and Colin Firth!), then here's a list of suggestions.

**Please don't post your Pay It Forward Contest Entries here on this post; add them to the original contest sticky post….here.**

Ways to Pay it Forward… 

1. Drive past the really good parking place so the car behind you can have it.

2. Pay for the person’s order in line behind you at the drive-thru window

3. Drop off two toys, instead of one, at Toys for Tots

4. Make a few extra batches of cookies and bring them to a local senior home

5. Find a family to adopt for the holidays

6. Buy an extra roll of stamps and give it to the person in line behind you at the post office

7. Offer to babysit (for free) for a mother of young children so she can go shopping or wrap gifts…or just take a breather!

8. Bring a box of your old books to a women’s shelter

9. Give a 30% tip at a restaurant instead of 15-20%

10. Make a donation to your favorite charity before they even ask!

11. Buy a bag of groceries and take it to your local food bank
(they’re really hurting this year!)

12. Donate blood

13. Let someone in line behind you go first at the checkout counter

Contest runs until Dec 19….post your comments/entries here, and if you're a blogger, you can enter for a special extra drawing here.
