Dear Grandad, From You To Me - Memory Journal of a Lifetime
Brand:
From You To Me
An award-winning, beautiful fabric and gold foil blocked memory journal, filled
with over 60 fun and inspiring questions, carefully compiled to make it easy for
your grandfather to tell his story and share his wonderful memories and
aspirations with you. It’s a priceless gift that‘s returned to you once
completed!
The luxurious finish, complete with a gold ribbon bookmark, makes for a
wonderfully timeless keepsake that is classic, but contemporary. All in his
precious handwriting and on his own or with you, your grandfather can recall
moments, funny stories and memories that make up his life. The thoughtful
questions are designed to help him enjoy telling his story, describing the past
and the present, as well as thinking about the future. Alongside his handwritten
memories, there’s also space for him to add photos and memorabilia too.
Once filled in, this journal will be a wonderful record of your grandfather’s
story, one that can be treasured forever and passed on to future generations.
Grandfathers will enjoy taking the time to fill in this journal to create a
lasting record of their life, and grandchildren will enjoy finding out more
about his life and getting to know him better. It’s a great way to add life to
any family tree, by asking those questions that you may never think or get the
chance to ask in everyday life, but the answers to which are invaluable.
Find out how things have changed throughout his life, what he did as a child
that is different from today, what his parents were like and what adventures he
has had in his life. Discover what your own mother or father was like when they
were young! What about your own relationship with your grandfather, what are his
favourite memories of the times you have spent together and is there any advice
he would like to give you? Everyone has stories to share about their amazing
life and it’s so important to find ways to capture and treasure them.
When you get his completed journal returned to you, it’ll be one of the most
emotive gifts you’ll ever receive, and therefore this is quite possibly one of
the most valuable gifts you’ll ever buy.
Some example questions from this journal:
- Tell me about the time and place you were born . . .
- What were your favourite childhood toys or games?
- What would you do for a night out when you were dating?
- Tell me about a memorable piece of music that you and my grandmother had ‘just
for you’ . . .
- What did you think when you first met me?
- What are the happiest or greatest memories of your life?
Everyone has a story to tell . . .
A great present for your grandfather on his birthday, at Christmas, on Father's
Day, on Grandparent’s Day or just because you care. This guided journal would
also be suitable for a grandfather to buy for himself to complete and then give
as a gift to his grandchild.
Also available in the Timeless Collection: Dear Mum, Dear Dad, Dear Grandma,
Dear Daughter, Dear Son, Dear Sister, Dear Brother and Dear Friend.
Made with paper & love, from you to me.
Why we love it
This is such a precious gift that enables you to ensure you’ve captured the
memories of your loved ones for posterity. The luxury fabric cover with gold
foiling makes this a stunning gift to give – and then get back. We really like
the clock illustration in gold foil on the cover and the flash of matching
colour on the high-quality internal pages.
