You know the way everyone's busy? Things to do, people to see, deadlines to be met. Well, Nicest Thing is a timeout. We're here to make sure that you don't forget the little things in life that can make a big difference. Smile at a stranger. Go for a walk with someone. Remember your sister's birthday. We're not suggesting that you turn all Mother Teresa-like or anything; no one's perfect. But the funny thing is, when you do nice things for people it has a habit of making you feel better, too. Our aim is to make you smile at least once a day.

You can read and share stories in Nicest Stories about the kindness of strangers (or not-so-strangers) and be inspired. In the Little Miracles section there are lots of ideas about how you can make a big difference with little things.

As well as being kind to others, you should be kind to yourself. So in addition to providing you with a selection of happy tales, we've also researched some of the nicest things around for you to enjoy. So if you feel like indulging in a bottle of glorious red wine or pampering yourself in a spa, then browse the site for our featured nicest things.
