The most *generous* thing you've experienced/seen?

Saw a thread on r/Australia about the stingiest thing you've seen someone do, and it seems that reusing teabags and stealing toilet paper from the public loo has been unfortunately witnessed by many of us. Wanted to start a more positive thread where we can share our heartwarming experiences because there's still good in this world, and nothing's more true blue in my eyes than lending a hand, even if we aren't the richest out there.

I'd like to start off by shouting out one of my uni mates. When I was like, 19, he'd bum ciggies off of me and another friend because he couldn't really afford them at the time. After getting a solid job and his first paycheck, he went down to the Coles and bought me and our friend a 40 deck of Winfield Blues each. To 19 year old broke student me, that was one of the kindest things that really cemented our friendship, especially as I don't think I'd given him anything close to 40 durries [and they were all the shitty cheaper brands too, lol]. It meant a lot.

So, fellow Aussies and visitors, what's the most generous thing you've witnessed/experienced here?

Electric Blanket recommendations for the coming winter

Alright, it's that time again folks, when those of us towards the south realise we were not built for this, despite going through it every year.

I'm reaching out to fellow freezers in the night for your electric blanket recommendations, because I'm having issues with my current one becoming too warm on the lowest setting in the middle of the night, leading to me groggily turning it off and then waking up a little later freezing my cogs off, turning it back on, rinse, repeat.

Does anyone have one that they swear by? I would appreciate any suggestions of brands that are tried and tested, because it seems to be getting colder each year. Dang climate change.

Thanks in advance.
