Why this gift works
Letters to My Son by Lea Redmond, from Chronicle Books, holds 12 letter templates for a parent to write, with prompts such as 'I'm proud of you because...' and 'In the future, I hope we...', and two blank letters 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.
Sons do not always hear it said out loud. This puts it in writing - for a graduation, a first job, a move or a wedding - in a form he can keep and open again.
Who is this gift for?
Great for
- A graduation
- A son 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, there are only 12 letters, 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 he can open and use right away.
