I’ve donated blood maybe twenty or so times in the US. I’ve gotten…a kids size orange juice once, and a sticker a few times. One time the nurse had rainbow bandaids, those were pretty cool…

Those of you who can, donate blood! They give not-bad rewards. I’ve received movie tickets, tax-deductible donation certificates, some newly released crackers and cookies, and a lot of other stuff.
If you’re not Korean, they might be finicky about the paperwork so I don’t recommend it as of now, but if you have a Korean spouse or legal guardian, I think you’re good. (This is just from my experience and from my friends, so don’t take it as an official guideline.)

Sadly people from the UK or those who have spent a long time in the UK (over 3 months if I recall) are not allowed to give blood in Korea…

It’s great to see the government express its gratitude to those who perform heroic deeds, even little ones. This might be “little,” but it can literally save lives.
