Life Story Gifts for Grandparents

The biggest gift struggle I hear about is people trying to decide what to buy for parents/in-laws/grandparents. When someone has EVERYTHING it hard to find them a gift they will love. That’s why I was so excited when I learned about Evalogue.life…a company that offers Life Story Interviews which would be the perfect gift for parents, in-laws, and grandparents. The beautiful thing about this gift idea it is that, in the long run, this will also be a treasured gift for their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

The Gift of Your Story

Evalogue.life is a company dedicated to helping people record their life story. They have several services you can gift to your loved ones. I’ve shared a do-it-yourself personal history gift idea,  but I can tell you from experience that sometimes the DIY option overwhelms people and they never actually start it. Evalogue.life takes the labor (and fear!) out of writing a personal history.  Some of Evalogue.life’s options include:

Life Story Interview– This can be conducted in person (in Utah) or over the phone. Prior to the interview, interviewees are contacted to make goals for the interview and receive “food-for-thought” questions to get prepared. After the interview, you’ll receive approximately 75 minutes of audio on a flash drive, interviewer notes and a printed booklet of life story questions. You could have several family members contribute towards this gift and give a series of interviews to get a more comprehensive life story (or even a book!) created.

Story Coaching– If your giftee has talked about wanting to write their own life story, this is a great option to help them along their way. Let the experts at Evalogue.life give them professional advice and encouragement to help jumpstart their writing.

Purchasing a personal interview means that your giftee will be interviewed by a talented journalist who not only has all of the right questions but also has the ability to delve deeper when needed and encourage opening up that might not happen otherwise. This is what one of their customers said about their experience gifting a Life Story Interview. 

Another amazing part of this gift is that you can purchase and print a gift certificate right from your computer…this thoughtful gift can be purchased and given in a very short timeframe (a last minute gift!).

Right now they are having a holiday special for $10 off each interview or coaching session and if you use the code GiftyGirl you can get an additional 5% off their lowest price. Click Here to purchase.

I think a Life Story Interview would be an amazing and thoughtful gift for spouses,  parents, in-laws, grandparents, veterans, actually EVERYONE because we all have a story to tell. Whose story would you love to hear told?

Special thanks again to Evalogue.life for this giveaway, make sure to share it with your friends!

Happy Gifting!

This is such an awesome idea. What a treasure to have not only the life stories but audio of your loved one telling those stories as well. This is an awesome gift for the whole family, not just the person doing the interview.
