In this post, you will find “Free Compliments” printables to bring a smile to people’s faces!
Who doesn’t love a compliment?
I know I do! In fact, there are compliments that I still remember today even though I got them years ago!
A sincere compliment always makes my day.
This week, I discovered a clever, fun little way to bring this happy feeling to other people’s lives.
“Free Compliments” flyers have slips of paper with compliments that people can rip off for themselves and/or pass on to someone else.
They are meant to be pinned up in a general area so that it’s easy and fun for people to take and share these kind words.
Isn’t that super fun?
When I saw it for the first time, I literally screamed “oh my God, I love that” and designed my own right away. And of course- I’ve got to share with my blog family!
Below, you will find four different Free Compliment printables- a general one for people you don’t know, one for friends and family, one for the workplace and a blank one where you can fill in your own compliments.
How to use these printables
- Download the document(s)
- Print as many copies as you’d like on regular 8.5 x 11 copy paper
- Cut along the vertical dashed lines (without ripping the strips off)
- Tape or pin the flyer up and encourage people to tear off a compliment to keep or read and pass on
This activity is perfect for –
- General goodwill around your neighborhood
- Apartment complex’s rental office or bulletin board
- Workplace
- Refrigerator or family room
- School bulletin board
- Anywhere that lets you tape flyers up
(This also reminds me of my sunshine box care package project).
Okay- now here are the downloadable files…

Free Compliments For Strangers
This first design is perfect for people you don’t know, because the compliments are general yet still heartwarming. This is the one that you wanna put up around your neighborhood, on a light pole, at the bus stop or on the apartment complex’s bulletin board.
The included compliments are:
- You radiate from head to toe
- It’s admirable how far you’ve come and how you’ve never given up
- You are so brave
- You are one of a kind!
- There’s ordinary and then there’s you
- On a scale from 1 to 10, you’re an 11
- Your eyes are enchanting
- You have a good head on your shoulders
- You look great today
For Family & Friends
This version contains compliments for people that you know personally and regularly spend time with.
The included compliments are:
- Hellloooo, hot stuff !
- I really love talking to you
- Your smile lights up my life
- You have a contagious laugh
- You’re my reason to smile
- You are the coolest person I know
- I wish everyone had one friend like you. You’re so supportive
- You’re the sweetest! You probably don’t have a mean bone in your body
- I love your confidence and the way you carry yourself
I think this would be an awesome household activity for a family or a group of roommates.
Put it up on the refrigerator or in the family room and anyone can spontaneously take a compliment and give it to another member of the household, to make them smile or cheer them up!
It will be fun to find compliments tucked away in lunch boxes and things like that.
For Coworkers & Employees
This set of compliments have to do with ideas, teamwork and work ethic- perfect for a workplace bulletin board. Managers and committee heads- take note! This would make an easy morale-boosting activity or a great idea for festive times of the year (e.g. like Valentine’s Day in the workplace).
The included compliments are:
- You have amazing ideas
- You light up any room you walk into
- You’re fantastic at figuring things out
- Your creativity seems limitless!
- Any team would be lucky to have you on it
- Our community is better because you’re in it
- Great job today! I love working with you!
- You never disappoint! I love that we can always count on you
- Your work ethic is out of this world

Finally, this template is blank and has 9 spaces for you to write in your own compliments.
This is an opportunity for you to customize this activity for whatever group or environment that you have in mind!
