What is National Compliment Day?
National Compliment Day on January 24 was started in 1998 by Kathy Chamberlin and Debby Hoffman in New Hampshire. It encourages people to give at least a few sincere, specific compliments during the day, to family, friends, colleagues and strangers alike. Research suggests that people underestimate how much a compliment brightens someone's day, and the best ones praise effort or character rather than appearance.
How to celebrate
Mark the day with a poster made in Dayfeed — pick your favourite photo as the background, share it to your story or group chat, and set a reminder so you never miss it next year.
