The essential guide for gift-giving that makes our dearest feel loved and offers deep and lasting connection—from the author of the bestselling Letters to My Baby and creator of the “Letters to . . .” series
Riddled with obligation, expense, and waste, gifts are often reduced in our consumeristic culture to products for purchase. We all want to give good gifts—but how?
In This Is for You, artist and bestselling author Lea Redmond casts a vision for gift-giving as you’ve never seen it before. At their best, she proposes, gift-giving and receiving are an opportunity to practice relational care at every scale for the wellbeing of people and planet.
“Gifts are relationships in miniature,” Redmond writes—a way to honor the spaces between us and practice the best of our humanity. Beyond the usual gift guide, This Is for You is a manifesto on open-hearted living that can enrich our relationships and awaken us to the world and its inherent abundance.
With inspired ideas and stories that sparkle, Redmond empowers you to be generous in your kinkeeping, courageous in your connection, and surprised by your own capacity for creativity.
Whether you’re searching for a great gift for a birthday, holiday, anniversary, wedding, or “just because,” This Is for You offers:
- Practical prompts for composing gift ideas your loved ones will cherish
- Tips for surprises, wrapping, and wish lists that work
- Creative ideas for keeping within your budget as well as no-cost gift ideas
- Practical guidance on how to respond to an unwanted gift
This Is for You is delightfully illustrated with the author’s line drawings throughout.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Kennys Bookstore, Olney, Maryland, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
