StoryWorth is the opportunity to gift someone (or gift yourself) the ability to write a memoir of their life through sharing about stories & memories through email prompts. For one year, StoryWorth will send email prompts to your recipient (or you if you buy this for yourself) to answer questions about their life.

At the end of the year, StoryWorth will compile all the personal stories & memories and photos into a beautiful hardcover book that you can treasure for years to come.

For the pet lover, here is a fun idea:

‘Tis the season of giving and sharing the holiday spirit with friends, family and animals alike. This season, give the gift of compassion by sponsoring a chicken, donkey, cow, pig, cat or dog at Pasado’s Safe Haven. With a small, one-time donation between $10 – $50, you can ensure the animals receive nutritious food, veterinary care and more. Of course, there is always an option to sponsor an animal for a longer period of time as well. These sponsorships help to provide the resources for the Pasado’s Safe Haven staff to continue to rescue animals and give them another lease on life.
