DS Needs Your Ideas!

Hey Guys!

You may or may not know me, but my name is Jesse and I work for DailyStrength. Im writing because we want to get your ideas for some new types of hugs that members can give to one another. As you know, currently members can Give a Hug, Send Flowers, High Five, etc. But what are some other types of hugs which you would like to be able to send/receive?

Just add your reply to let us know what types of hugs you want! We want lots of ideas!

Thanks,

Jesse

An icon for "so sorry for your loss". Pond with a weeping willow tree would be good.
Love it that you have the forethought to ask for NEW IDEAS!!!
Thanks to you and "Doug" for acting on my requests to check into abusers on this site!!!
I appreciate all your efforts!!!!

I wish we could give multiple huggs like we can messages. I also wish sometimes that we could check all the things like huggs, flowers, prayers etc to send to one or multiple persons.
Also, DS needs a new group to help those who have to deal with the suicide of a loved one. Rainbow

what about just different icons (such as rainbow, waterfall, sunrise, & smilies) and then we can add the message ourselves? Does it have to be a hug? When just a picture will make someones day.

How about a "Thanks" hug or a "thinking of you" and also differnt icons would be nice too,other flowers,smiles,hearts etc, and if we could send more than one "hug" even better! Thanks you for asking us for our input!

I like to send multiple hugs...you know like a gazillion hugs to you. And I like to send flowers with the hugs sometimes and prayer with them too. I do like the idea of a bear hug!
