This Once Upon A Family Basket offers a mix of ways to create new happy home habits while having fun!  The happy home habits are simple, fun things we can do once-a-day, once-a-week, once-a-month, once-a-year and once-in-a-while.  These actions give our families what they need:  loving connections, strong values, and happy holiday memories.  The products included in the basket are:  Conversation Starters, The happyhome Book, Family Fun Box and Pad, A Summer Silk Tradition Album, The I Love You Pillow, and Familly Tree Booklets.

Family Tree Booklets

Send these 4.5” x 6” booklets to grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles and cousins and have them fill in their story.  Or start a new family tradition whereby the younger generation  interviews one member of the older generation every Thanksgiving and fills in the booklet for them. Store these treasured family keepsakes in a beautiful Family Tree Box. Each of the 5 booklets has 7 pages with meaningful, but easy-to-answer questions.

I Love You Pillow

Do you ever want to say you’re sorry, cheer someone up with a note of encouragement or just tell them you are thinking of them? This pillow is the perfect way to show your feelings when words just aren’t enough. It can be shared with a significant other or your entire family. Fill out one of the cards, place it in the pocket and leave the pillow in a special place to be discovered later. It’s a great way for everyone to express feelings that are difficult to share.
