Why this gift works

Dear Brother, from you to me is a guided memory journal from UK publisher From You To Me, in its Timeless Collection. It has more than 60 questions for a brother to answer about his earliest memories, experiences, adventures and hopes, with space for photos. It is a 120-page hardback with a fabric cover, gold foil, a ribbon bookmark and acid-free paper.

It works the other way round from most gifts: you give it to him, he writes his story, and it comes back as something the family keeps. For an older brother, or one who lives far away, it is a way to hear the stories that never come up at dinner.

Who is this gift for?

Great for

  • An older brother
  • A brother who lives far away
  • A milestone birthday

Think twice if

  • He dislikes writing
  • You need it back quickly

The catch

It is a two-step gift - he has to fill it in and give it back - it is a UK import, so the amazon.com price and seller can vary, and at about 60 prompts it is a short book.

Skip if he does not like to write, or you want a gift he can use right away.
