Gift Shop of Gratitude
A Journal to Explore the Journey of Your Life
Coming November 12th
Gift Shop of Gratitude offers a charmingly original way to remember and record the many gifts life has given us. Twenty warm, humorous, and illuminating essays—about common items found in gift shops—prompt readers to recall the people, events, and experiences for which they’re most grateful. Examples include playing cards to recall the people we most love; t-shirts that call to mind memorable events and activities, refrigerator magnets to recall enriching travel, and more.
Gratitude Pages at the end of each chapter enable readers to record the many gifts of their lives, creating a personal “testament of gratitude” and a precious family heirloom for children, grandchildren, and all whom they’ve loved. Whether buying a copy for yourself, a friend, or a family member, Gift Shop of Gratitude offers a timeless gift.
