A gift for the mom who has everything
She doesn't need more things. Give her a year of being asked about her life.
Give a year of stories: $69, one-time, never renewsWhy a story gift beats another object
The things on her shelves came with stories. This gift collects the stories themselves, one question a week, for the whole family to keep.
12 ideas for the mom who has everything
- Kitchen Table Stories: one question a week, a family feed and monthly mini-books.
- A framed copy of her handwritten recipe.
- A day trip back to her hometown.
- A family photo-scanning afternoon.
- A standing weekly phone call with each grandchild.
- Tickets to a show from her youth.
- A cooking lesson where she teaches you.
- A playlist of the songs from when she was sixteen.
- A family-tree session with relatives.
- A garden planted together.
- A letter from each grandchild.
- A family dinner where only her stories are allowed.
A few of the questions
These are sample questions from different parts of life: childhood, food, love, work, holidays, and places. Your family can write their own. Family questions go first after the current question. The storyteller can skip any question.
- What did a weekday morning look like in the house where you grew up?
- What's a dish you make, or remember, that never tastes quite the same when someone else makes it?
- Who is someone you've loved, as a friend, family member, or partner, and how did you first meet?
