I’m back and today I’m reviewing a set of three gratitude journals that recently came out by Helen Cole. Ms. Cole generously gifted me these journals in exchange for an honest review of them, so I’ve taken some time to look through them all, take some photos and write this up for y’all.
Starting with the concept, I think it’s a fantastic idea. An entire set of books designed specifically to show those around you how much you care about them? What a beautiful and caring idea, especially with the holidays coming up. Each page poses an idea or question that leads you to write something for/about the person you are giving this journal to, for example, writing a small poem, or describing why you are most thankful to have this person in your life.
Moving into each book specifically, I found that they were each designed to fit a different group of people–there’s a journal for young girls and women, a journal for boys and men, and a journal specifically for Christians, with bible verses. Each of these books had wonderful prompts and ideas on each page, along with simple yet beautiful designs. This is a well thought out idea for less than ten dollars a book, perfect for a birthday, holiday, or just-because gift, that any recipient would love to get. This is much more meaningful than a quick text, and would be effective at being close-by whenever you’re home and need a little reminder that you’re loved–just flip through the pages and read what your loved ones have written about you!
I’ve taken some photos to show you all what the insides of these books look like, to give you a brief idea without spoiling the joy of looking through the books yourself. You all know I usually write some pretty negative book reviews–this is one of the few I’ve written that I only have positive things to say! I would recommend any of these journals to someone wanting a quick and easy gift for a friend or family member, or even for themselves if they’re looking to get loved ones’ opinions or start a self-care journal for yourself.
All in all I’d give these books a passing rating for me, and ask that you give them a try! Here’s the link for you: https://www.amazon.com/Helen-Cole/e/B09GVG7LXS/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1
I hope you all enjoy these as much as I will, and I commend Helen Cole on putting the effort into making such a thoughtful book, and just in time for Christmas!
