A Meaningful (and perfect) Gift Idea for a Special Friend in Your Life

Another birthday rolls around. Another holiday is here. Year after year, we celebrate these special occasions, and year after year, we try our best to find something meaningful to gift the ones we love. One of my love languages is gifts, so maybe that is why it feels especially important to me that my gifts to others really matter. Gift-giving shouldn’t feel like a chore. It should feel exciting and fun to think of the individual and gift them in a way that makes them feel special. One person I have the honor of making feel special this week is my mom. Through her care and friendship, she has made me feel special my whole life, so I am excited to gift her with something unique and meaningful for her birthday, and I can’t wait to share it with you.

I’ve heard of and seen “personalized books” over the years, but I was excited when Wonderbly reached out to me because I just knew their newest book for a friend would be perfect for my mom. If you haven’t heard of Wonderbly, here is a bit about the company:

Since 2013, Wonderbly has been creating the world’s most personalized children’s books. Now, with a range of 32 titles and over five million books sold around the world in seven languages, Wonderbly’s mission is to combine magical storytelling with beautiful illustrations and intricate personalization that inspires children and grown-ups alike.

Wonderbly has books for all ages, and this book I’m sharing today is specifically designed around female-to-female friendship. There are many ways you could gift this book. It is a great gift for a close friendship with your mom, sibling, best friend, or sister in Christ. Here is the special book I created for my mom through Wonderbly below:

Announcing the world’s most personalizable Christian devotional, With All My Heart!

 A heartwarming collection of reflections and Scripture for Christian women to celebrate their most faithful friendships and love of Jesus.

With All My Heart is a soul-stirring collection of devotionals and Scripture beautifully crafted around personalized special touches. Heartfelt reflections and words of Scripture create a gift that overflows with words of encouragement and comfort to uplift a friend's spirit. Every element of this book is meant to love and affirm a beloved friend. Making it the best gift to suit any happy occasion or hard season (Wonderbly has a book for both). 

From cover to cover, this book is a heartfelt conversation directly from your heart to hers, with both of your names throughout the whole book. Choose the topics from timeless reflections, add photos of your most cherished memories, and pick from six stunning designs. The pre-written sections can be edited to your heart’s content – even the concluding message that you can edit or leave blank to handwrite a heartfelt prayer.

There are a few things that I loved about creating this book, With All My Heart through Wonderbly:

1.    It was so easy to personalize. The website walked me step by step through the book, and I could adjust and tweak certain pages as much or as little as I wanted.

2.    The content is perfect for what I want my mom to read. The devotions are well-written and meaningful for the season she is in. I found that it was written so well that I didn’t need to add too much, but I was able to really focus on just personalizing it to fit my mom.

3.    It didn’t take all day! I was worried it would take a lot of time, but it didn’t. It is a simple and straightforward process that takes 15-30 minutes.  

As I’ve said, Wonderbly’s With All My Heart is very customizable. I kept mine pretty simple, but you can add pictures and designs throughout. They have beautiful ideas on their site.
