The Kindling story

About Kindling

Kindling starts with a simple idea: you don’t need to know someone to do something kind for them.

Handoff is our pay-it-forward mystery box. It lets someone give a surprise to a willing stranger, turning an ordinary box into an unexpected connection.

A small gesture with somewhere to go

The mystery is part of the experience. You may not know the person receiving it or what their day has been like. What you do know is that you chose to send a little kindness beyond your own circle.

Surprise, not an imposition

Handoff is for willing strangers. That matters to us: a good surprise starts with someone who is open to receiving it.
