About This Book

A parent might reach for this book when they want to shift their child’s focus from receiving gifts to the thoughtful process of giving them. It's perfect for curbing holiday or birthday commercialism and nurturing empathy. This charming 1970s guide walks children through the process of 'matching' a present to a person, encouraging them to think deeply about the recipient's personality, hobbies, and favorite things. It champions creativity and kindness, showing how a handmade gift can be the most meaningful one of all. For ages 6 to 8, it’s a wonderful tool for teaching that the best presents come from the heart, not the store.
