The Pressie I Cannot Make



I got this near to perfect gift for Bro´s Birthday: "Dad, tell me something! - The memory-album of your life".

On the back it says:

Dad, what did you want to do for a living when you were little?
How did you celebrate Christmas back then?
Who in school was your best friend?
What did you do with your first earned money?
What would you do different in life if you got the chance?


The personal book to fill out - a family treasure, that keeps the Father´s memories.



What a great idea and so easy to do for the Dad - just answer some questions - there are empty pages for your own creativity as well - a true treasure to be, wish I had something like that from my parents!

What did I find though having it home taking a closer look?
After a little introduction it says, usually you do not give a pressie back - this book is different, though. Please give it back to the person that presented you with it.

Um.
So, I have to give it to Niece and ask her to do this for me, shoot!
Well, anyhows this (hopefully) still is my pressie - hope no one else saw this, too!

Yes - originally it´s an idea from the Netherlands. You can get the books for Mums, Dads, Grandmas and Grandads - maybe also in English? Just in case come Grandkids in your case ;-)
