The best part about this thoughtful review from Valentina Moldovan? We meant every word in this message. The day after Christmas (Boxing Day) feels like the right day to say this again. So let's repeat it: Our culture is addicted to buying things we don't need. Our holidays revolve around it. There's a different way. Boxing Day was originally dedicated to charitable giving. In what ways can you be charitable today? Can you book a future volunteer opportunity or set a New Year's resolution to volunteer more in 2025? Can you ask a neighbor, friend, or relative if they can use help with anything? If you decide to go shopping, is there a local holiday market with artisan goods? Or can you opt-out and get out in nature with friends and family? The best "things" in life can't be bought. Here's to ending 2024 with charitable acts, kindness, locally produced goods, and quality experiences with great people. 🍻

If last week I picked on desperate #newslettersubjectlines, #roboticmessages and #infobesity 😁, this week I want to do the opposite. I want to show you an example of a newsletter that inspired me. 💌 Subject line: 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗪𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗕𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗨𝘀 …it immediately got my attention as I knew I didn’t unsubscribe from this sender: - “What’s going on there’? I thought 🤔 Then I went on to read the whole thing to find a beautiful message promoting #digitaldetox, #adventure over material things and the importance of taking time to reflect for #wellbeing and personal growth. Overall, it was a direct critique towards consumerism and Black Friday. This all comes from a hospitality company that specialises in #experiencedesign and #personaldevelopment retreats. Of course, they ended with a reference to their next available trip package. BUT, didn’t they do it in such a kind and human-centered way?🧍 Well done, Unsettled! 👏 As someone who loves outdoor activities and cares about sustainability, I found their approach very impactful, witty and inspiring. Anything you read recently that inspired you?
