Anonymous compliment form

People send kind words to someone anonymously, read out at the end of the week.

What's inside

Only people who choose to sign are asked for their name, and the thank-you tells them who will hear their words.

Running a compliment week

Open the box on Monday and read the compliments out on Friday. A fixed day gives people a reason to send one before it.

Read the replies before you share them. Anonymity makes people kind most of the time; remove anything that is not a compliment.

Check who got none. Add a compliment of your own for them, so nobody leaves the week with an empty list.

Compliment box questions

Is it really anonymous?

The form asks for no name or email unless the sender chooses to sign. You see only what they typed. Say that in the intro too, because people write warmer and more specific notes when they trust it. On a small team, a writing style can still hint at the sender, so read the notes aloud rather than passing your screen around.

Can I use it for a farewell or a birthday?

Yes. Change the first question to the person's name, or delete it, and print the compliments into a card for them. If you delete it, edit the thank-you text too, since it repeats the name from that question. Share the link a week ahead in the team chat or family group, and print the notes the day before.

How do I share the compliments?

Read them out in a meeting, or export the replies and send each person the ones written for them. Sort the export by the Who is it for column, so each person's compliments sit together. Quieter people often prefer a private message with their own list over hearing it read in front of everyone.
