Why this gift works
Aunt's Story: A Memory and Keepsake Journal by Korie Herold is a 112-page, 6 by 9 inch hardcover with a linen cover and gold foil title, from Paige Tate & Co. Its prompts run through seven sections - early childhood, school years, work and travel, love and family, character and values, hypotheticals and curiosities, and words of wisdom - with space for letters to family, on acid-free paper that lies flat.
Aunts carry a lot of family history that nobody thinks to ask about. This gives her a simple way to write it down, and gives her nieces and nephews something they will read long after.
Who is this gift for?
Great for
- An aunt who is the family storyteller
- A milestone birthday
- Nieces and nephews who live far away
Think twice if
- She does not like writing
- You want a gift she uses right away
The catch
She does the writing, so it is a gift of her time rather than a note from you; it is the same idea as the guided journals for parents and grandparents; and the publisher's photos show the linen cover as both pink and red, so the exact shade is unclear.
Skip if she dislikes writing, or would find guided prompts a chore.
