Hello @Footlose giving out the most lightweight of gifts would be to walk and just be among others, takin the opportunity to help others should they need it & the more difficult for many of us to accept with gratitude & grace when kindness is shown to us. This option adds no extra weight to your backpack. Buen Camino!I am thinking to do random acts of kindness along the way to fellow pilgrims. Which lightweight items will be much appreciated that I can bring from home and can offer in a fellow pilgrims hour of need ?
1. So far I was thinking to bring a few big safety diaper pins ( I have gone to the needlework store and bought the biggest ones I could find - ( 4 cm / 1 1/2 " long ) .
2. I will buy chocolate and dried fruit and nuts on arrival and want to offer pieces.
3.Also want to bring cotton wool for feet /shoes that might be helpful.
4. From Costco or Wallmart sachets of Electrolyte powder for hydration.
For me life is give and receive and I feel a big need to give out a few light weight items along the way. Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

Your words are so true. And doing this feels so good in many ways.I think the most valuable thing you can give others on Camino is you. In a gentle and unobtrusive way.
Your time to listen and not judge
Your energy when others are flagging
Your spirit when others are down
And they will do the same for you.
Tread softly upon the way........

Great idea. When I was in Astorga I bought some extra chocolate for just that reason. What about extra tissue packets, bandaids, and maybe some Emergen-c for those feeling a little under the weather?
