The essential guide for gift-giving that makes our dearest feel loved and offers deep and lasting connection—from the author of the bestselling Letters to My Baby and creator of the “Letters to . . .” series
Riddled with obligation, expense, and waste, gifts are often reduced in our consumeristic culture to products for purchase. We all want to give good gifts—but how?
In This Is for You, artist and bestselling author Lea Redmond casts a vision for gift-giving as you’ve never seen it before. At their best, she proposes, gift-giving and receiving are an opportunity to practice relational care at every scale for the wellbeing of people and planet.
“Gifts are relationships in miniature,” Redmond writes—a way to honor the spaces between us and practice the best of our humanity. Beyond the usual gift guide, This Is for You is a manifesto on open-hearted living that can enrich our relationships and awaken us to the world and its inherent abundance.
With inspired ideas and stories that sparkle, Redmond empowers you to be generous in your kinkeeping, courageous in your connection, and surprised by your own capacity for creativity.
Whether you’re searching for a great gift for a birthday, holiday, anniversary, wedding, or “just because,” This Is for You offers:
- Practical prompts for composing gift ideas your loved ones will cherish
- Tips for surprises, wrapping, and wish lists that work
- Creative ideas for keeping within your budget as well as no-cost gift ideas
- Practical guidance on how to respond to an unwanted gift
This Is for You is delightfully illustrated with the author’s line drawings throughout.
