Message in a teacup – Sharing kindness, hope, and inspiration

Spread a little kindness, hope and inspiration in your neighbourhood

At a time when many people in our community are feeling vulnerable and a little disconnected, our collective kindness is needed more than ever. Teacup planters and inspiring messages can not only create joy and inspire hope for any finder, but the process of creating will boost the maker’s mood too! Read our stories of impact.

"Hello, My mother in law received a message in a teacup today left on her doorstep. She is very appreciative and would like to pass on her thanks."

"Thankyou so much for my beautiful surprise, if you don’t know me, I’ve had a challenging few weeks and months, this brought a big smile to my face and feeling of warmth & kindness that is so important to be spread. My 1yr old daughter spotted it and was so excited to pick it up from outside. Thankyou so much & have a beautiful day!

"Thank you whoever you are for the lovely surprise left at my door. It is greatly appreciated and something I have been wanting to do myself in a similar fashion for a long time. Your lovely gift has motivated me to move this ‘things to do’ up my list and begin so we can bring more smiles to many other peoples dials. Have a wonderful day and thank you once again.
