Plum Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Found a great christmas present today. Its journals you give to your mother, son, sister or whoever to complete and give back to you when they have recorded various memories, thoughts, events etc., I am going to send one to my sister and brother. Unfortunately, I have already lost my mum and dad but they remember things about them that I have forgotten. They may tell me a few home truths as well. If you want to have a look put 'from me to you' in amazon it comes up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Thanks for the tip, they're great. I've ordered one to fill in with my MIL to give to my DH for his birthday and one for my daughter to fill in with her Gran. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 What a great idea! Thanks Plum I've been looking for an idea to send to Bogwoppit's Granny for Christmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 What a lovely idea - much better than some of the tatt which is available & which I am avoiding this year... ! Have you received yours yet? Would it be easy enough to make up a similar item in a homemade memory book? I must admit that my imagination for questions is not as wide as I'm sure this book is....... By the way, if you log on to www.fromyoutome.com you can order personalised book covers, for Grandad who's called Grumpy etc. Books are much more expensive than through Amazon though with P&P.

Sunshine Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I got something similar for my grandma to fill in about herself from a local garden centre. I think they are a really good idea because then i will have all my grandma's information(where she went to school, when she got married etc) all together so if i have children it will be there to show them.

Olly Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I love the idea, but I can't imagine any of my siblings ever completing this ... they don't do 'feelings'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I sent the link to my daughter because I though Lauren and Jake (grandchildren) might be interested - she wrote back to ask "how many of these would you like? Grandma?, Mum?, Sister?...... " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
