What is Compliment Generator?
Sometimes the nicest thing you can do is say something nice. Add a few names and the Compliment Generator pairs each person with a sincere, specific compliment — "You notice the little things, and it shows." Read it out loud, share it, or keep tapping until the whole room is blushing.
A sweet closing round for any party, a warm classroom activity, and a good habit for couples.
99 compliments — from the random compliment generator's deck
The generator hands out one compliment at a time, which is the fun of it. But if you are writing a card, a message or a toast and want to choose one yourself, here are 99 from its deck, grouped by who they are for.
