Chicken Soup for the Soul - Personalized!

It can be really hard buying books for people as gifts.  Everyone now has an e-reader and has a complete library of e-books (I know I am one of those) but sometimes you want to really hold on a book, especially if it is a special book.  

Here in lies the problem, unless you live in their book shelf, you never know which books they already have, which book they would think is special enough to hold a space on their bookshelf. And then when you do find the right book to 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?

I know you already know about the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" books, they can be of such comfort when you see them on the shelf and even more as you sit quietly and read/reflect on them.  You know that there are so many wonderful thoughts within those pages that will make you (or whoever is reading it) feel like you are not alone.
These personalized “Chicken Soup for the Soul” books are one really great way to share something special. 



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.

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.

What a wonderful way to share you sorrow and sympathy when a friend has lost a loved one.  We all know that feeling when we want to say something, but just can't find the words.  They have picked stories about remembering those that have been lost, about finding comfort and healing that can help you find the words you are looking for or that will speak to their sorrow and help them heal.


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’s something they’ll love forever. And a 60-page book starts at just $24.95. You also have an option to increase the size of the book from 60 pages to 120  pages for just $10 more!  There are so many ways to personalize these books so that it will always have a special place on their bookshelf.
