This Is for You

Gift-Giving as a Way of Life

By: Lea Redmond

Narrated by: Lisa Larsen

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 Grandchild 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. It’s no wonder we often feel stumped when trying to give a good gift.

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 good of people and planet. “Gifts are relationships in miniature,” Redmond writes, and this ultimate gift guide doubles as a manifesto on open-hearted living that can enrich all our relationships.

With inspired ideas and stories that sparkle, get ready to get generous in your kinkeeping, courageous in your connection, and creative in your delivery.

A one-stop-shop for everyone on your list, This Is for You offers:

• Practical prompts for compiling 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 what to do and how to respond to an unwanted gift

Whether you’re searching for the perfect gift for a birthday, holiday, anniversary, wedding, or just because, Lea Redmond shows you the way.
