What are the 'best buys' in warm fuzzies?

I want to satisfice my urges for the least cost. Perhaps there's a kind of GiveWell for warm fuzzies out there.

I feel like 'purchasing status' is part of my warm fuzzies calculation, which complicates things.

Perhaps buying coffees for people in line around me?

When someone does something nice for you say "Thank You, that was very nice because...." and really mean it.

Someone I know on Facebook just did a "say something nice about yourself" thread, and the result has been warm fuzzies all around.

That's heartwarming. I look forward to looking into replicating or provoking replications of that and related iterations (e.g. say something you're grateful for)

This feels to me like something that could be very different for different people.

That seems like a cheap experiment. Have you tried it? What else have you tried for purchasing warm fuzzies?

GiveWell for warm fuzzies

Aka how to buy love cheap. Or is it self-love? X-)

Will you be paying in dollars?

Haha. I prefer to pay in dollars but that's negotiable.
