When considering sentimental gifts, people often worry that their friend or partner would prefer to receive something with a higher price tag and greater practical use. But Professor Givi, from West Virginia University and Professor Galak, from Carnegie Mellon University’s research shows that those assumptions are wrong; people would rather receive the item with greater emotional resonance. Givi preaches, “Pretty much every time you give a sentimental gift, it really, really makes people happy.”

A gift of memories & experiences

Our new Personalised Book of Christmas Giftable Tickets offers an ideal way to connect —bringing families and friends closer with a unique and interactive gift that goes beyond material items.

The Book of Giftable Tickets is more than just a gift; it’s a way to ensure that Christmas is about connection.  It’s a way to remind your loved ones that time spent together is the greatest gift of all.

This Christmas, let your presents be more than objects. Let them be experiences, memories, and moments of connection that will bring joy and warmth for years to come.

With each ticket redeemed, you’ll find that the greatest gift isn’t what’s written on the page—it’s the time you spend with the people you care about.

A gift that keeps on giving

Unlike traditional gifts, the Personalised Book of Giftable Tickets is more than just an item to unwrap. It’s an experience, an opportunity to create memories that will last long after the decorations have come down. Each book contains a series of beautifully designed, customisable tickets that can be redeemed for thoughtful, shared moments.

From "Breakfast in Bed” to “A Day Out Together”; or “I will deliver your shopping” to “I will take your dog for a walk”; these tickets are a tangible promise of time spent helping loved ones, strengthening bonds in a way no normal gifts could.

Perfect for all ages

One of the most special things about these giftable tickets is how they can bring together people of all ages. Grandparents can use the tickets to bond with their grandchildren, offering a day out or a fun activity that strengthens their connection. Parents can enjoy meaningful moments with their kids, creating a festive season filled with love and laughter. Even friends and couples can use these tickets to bring a little extra joy into their relationships, making time for the personal things that matter most.

Creating memories that last

The beauty of the Personalised Book of Giftable Tickets is that it offers endless possibilities for connection. It invites you to be intentional with your time, to build moments that you can look back on with fondness. Families can use the tickets to create traditions, like a yearly holiday outing, or simply enjoy small but meaningful gestures, like a home-cooked meal shared with laughter.

For friends, the tickets are a chance to reconnect amidst busy schedules, offering excuses to meet up, share a coffee, or reminisce over old times.

The act of redeeming a ticket isn’t just about what the ticket offers; it’s about the joy and warmth that comes from spending quality time together. See our full range of tickets here.

Capturing Dad's life with a Dear Dad memory journal

Another gift that simply keeps on giving is our range of Memory Journals. We joke that these have our customers in tears … in a positive way of course.

This exquisite journal, adorned with luxurious fabric and gold foil accents, invites your father to share his unique story. With prompts ranging from childhood memories to life's greatest achievements, it provides a heartfelt space for him to reflect, reminisce, and express his aspirations.

How better to feel closer to him than to invite him to share his own story and for you to listen and learn?

A timeless treasure

More than just a journal, it's a keepsake that will be cherished for generations. As your father fills its pages with handwritten anecdotes, photos, and memorabilia, you'll gain a deeper understanding of his experiences and the person he is. 

Uncover hidden stories

Discover the untold tales of your father's life. Learn about his childhood adventures, his first love, his proudest moments, and the lessons he's learned along the way. This journal offers a unique opportunity to connect on a deeper level and create lasting memories.

We are regularly told that these completed journals are the first thing that people would grab in a house fire … so precious and so close to your heart.
