Why this gift works
Letters to My Daughter by Lea Redmond, from Chronicle Books, holds 12 letter templates for a parent to write. Ten have prompts, such as 'I love being your parent because...', and two are blank for your own ideas. Each letter seals with an included sticker and can be dated to open at a later moment. It measures about 7.9 by 3.75 inches and was published in 2017.
It turns a graduation, a move across the country or a wedding into a moment she can open again, in your handwriting, long after the day itself.
Who is this gift for?
Great for
- A graduation
- A daughter moving out
- A wedding someday
Think twice if
- You will not have time to write it
- You want an instant gift
The catch
You have to write the letters before you give it, so plan an evening; there are only 12, two of them blank; and it is the same idea as the Letters to Open When book, written from a parent instead.
Skip if you want a gift she can open and use right away.
