My youngest sister is the emotional, passionate one in our family. She loves hard, and feels hard in every way. She is especially fond of tear jerker movies and books about hardship. Now that she is in college, she very likely doesn’t have much time for extra reading or putting much emotion into it anyway. I used to swipe her young adult novels and they always reminded me of my old copy of Chicken Soup for the Teenaged Soul.
It can be really hard buying books for people as gifts. After all, you never know just which books they already have. And then when you do find the right book and give it to them, how do you make it really personal? Put in a book plate? Write an inscription? How do you make the whole thing totally them?
These personalized “Chicken Soup for the Soul” books are one really great way to do it. Not only do you get to choose from five different story themes (from “Christmas Stories” to “Giving thanks”), you can personalize it in ways you just can’t with a conventional book. As the title suggests, these are stories meant to comfort and heal. This would be such a perfect gift for my little sister!
Your custom “Chicken Soup for the Soul” book will truly be a book for them because the book is printed with their name on the cover, as the recipient. And it’s truly from you because your name is printed on the cover as the giver. You can even include an inscription inside the book and on the back cover. Even add a photo to the back.
There are other nice options to choose from, like the type of cover you’d like and the type of paper. It takes just about five minutes to make it a truly custom book, and chances are, it is something they will love forever. And a 60-page book starts at just $24.95.
There’s a quick video here: Chicken Soup for the Soul that shows you how to fill in all the info using a simple online tool. The books are all done by Blurb, so you know the quality is going to be great.
