Gift of the year

With our Christmas vacation on the ten day forecast, I thought it would be a good idea to share an under $20 gift idea that also supports a cause close to our hearts. We lost Grandpa Doug to Alzheimer's in 2006 and Chris' Grandma received her diagnosis in August. When a colleague of mine told me about ForgetMeNotInk a year ago, I jumped all over it!

ForgetMeNotInk was founded by a fellow bank marketer, Jennifer Dilly, in 2008 after losing her mother too early to Alzheimer's. With the mission of "Writing out Alzheimer's," Jennifer and ForgetMeNotInk have embraced her mother's hobby of writing letters and designed note cards to encourage you to write the ones you love.

"Fifteen printed notes. One for every occasion. Includes 15 cards, one for each month, plus a birthday, a thank you, and a just because. Comes in three leather pouch colors: Rose, Blush and Teal."

It's a gift that truly keeps giving.
