Surprise gift
I decided to give each of my parents a journal a few days ago. I’m not sure if they’ve started yet, but they were moved and happy with the gift. I filmed the opening, but didn’t take photos. I still can’t wait to discover their stories and secrets.

I just received the books and they are incredible. My boyfriend skimmed through one and so did I, and the questions are so deep—it makes you dig into memories and emotions. Amazing! I would absolutely order again. Thank you for this incredible gift!!!

Love it!!
I was so happy to order this book for my grandmother with my cousins! A wonderful opportunity to share a moment together, keep a written record, and a memory of our grandmother—all thanks to the blog trouver-des-idees-cadeaux.fr! Can’t wait to see her reaction!
Quick check
How much of their story do you actually know?
What was their dream as a child
What they spent their first paycheck on
What scared them at your age
The one thing they'd do differently
Tap the ones you can answer. Most people can't tick two — the journal asks 150+.
Ask them nowI always meant to ask her about her childhood.
I never did.
