The Christmas Gift That Teaches You About Your Family
TUNBRIDGE WELLS, England, October 4 /PRNewswire/ -- You would be amazed about how much you don't know about the people you love. How much do you know about your grandparents' lives or even your Mum and Dad's childhood. Our family's history is our own - it's what made us after all, and yet many of us know so little about our parents' lives when they were younger, or about our grandparents, and often even less about our partner's families. Talk to anyone over the age of 70 and you'll find their childhood was very different to yours - they almost certainly experienced war at close hand, for example. Yet they will most likely consider their lives "ordinary" or "nothing special". But ask them to tell stories from their lives to children or grandchildren and watch how enthralled the youngsters become. A Memories Book, with prompt questions and space for each answer, given to a family member at Christmas - a time when we often reminisce anyway - will encourage them to start jotting down those special memories and funny stories from their younger days before they get forgotten. When completed, the book becomes a family heirloom... this is one Christmas present that really will be kept and treasured! Devised and created by Kent mother-of-two Julie Pinnell, the Memories Books come in a range for different family members to complete. They are easy to fill in and are a pleasure to read afterwards. To make the books extra special this Christmas, you can personalise the Memories Book you give with your own photographs on the cover and your own title. It's easy to do - just supply up to five photos and the title and Priceless Treasures will do the rest. These unique personalised books are just GBP19.99 +P&P and come gift boxed. There are several standard versions including Parents' Memories, New Parents' Memories, Mother's Memories, Father's Memories, Grandparents' Memories, Grandmother's Memories, Grandfather's Memories, Memories (a general version) and a Wedding Book set. Each regular Memories Book costs just GBP9.99 +P&P from http://www.pricelesstreasuresonline.com or by calling +44(0)1892-863300. The books can be gift boxed in silver or gold with a special matching pen for an extra GBP4 and posted directly to the recipient for no extra charge. There is a moneyback guarantee plus a Christmas gift wrapping option. Images available from Caroline Edmunds at Pennington PR +44(0)1892-616647 or caroline@penningtonpr.com.
