 Well hi everybody it's Sandy and I have the greatest gift to share with you and I know it's almost Christmas time when I'm posting this video but this can be used any time of year so I want to share it with you because I just got mine and I wanted to show you what it is. It's this great box to start off with. Team gratitude. You want to save the box. You're going to need it later and then we are going to unbox. I have not even looked at everything that's inside this. I have read through the instruction manual. The instruction manual tells you all about what it is and I felt encouraged just from reading this. It has these beautiful quotes in here. Lots of great information. Every purchase of the gift goes toward giving back to others. Give to children in schools. To give to their parents and vice versa. Military spouses and their significant others. Family members of ill and loved ones in the hospital. What is it? The goal is to build the habit of gratitude and don't we know when we are thankful everything changes. Our whole attitude. Our whole outlook changes and they have beautiful quotes in here which are wonderful to inspire you. Examples of who you can give it to. Best friends, significant other mentors, children, parents, siblings, coworkers or boss. Someone going through a tough place. I have people in all these categories. I think I might have to get eight of these. I can give a whole bunch of them and it has lots of information here that is really interesting on why gratitude matters. How it helps us. How it changes our lives. So it has benefits for us not just for the person that we are sending this to. Now you can gift this anytime. It has some suggestions. Valentine's Day, World Gratitude Day, the holidays, Father's Day, Mother's Day, Best Friend Day and you can share this at any time. It's going to take you some time to put it together. So don't think that if you're going to order this like a week before Christmas that it's going to be ready to gift anybody. It has a story of how it came to life and a little picture there of Mr. Gratitude. That's what I'm going to call him because he's in the Gratitude Book. Now this tells you how to use the right side and the left side of the journal. The right side is for thinking of a specific moment or experience and then really putting yourself there. Write out what that experience was and how you felt and what was specific about the person you're giving it to that they brought to that experience. And the left side is for all of you creative people out there because I have lots of crafty folks in here in these packs are story out on stickers, picture frame corners, pocket holders, message cards, stickers, border frames, lists and postcards, lots of things that you can do to add to the journal and as crafters you can add lots more to it because you have the stuff and this is kind of a sample of what it would look like. You'd have all your stickers and everything over here and you'd write your story and it gives you a sample story. So you can get an idea of how to get started with this and then it tells you what to do on your off days to keep yourself going on this because you probably aren't going to be able to do this every single day but in order to get yourself in the right mindset you need to be thinking about this on a regular basis and here are the three musketeers, Mr. Gratitude and Amir and Ari. So Mikey, Amir and Ari are the guys behind this and they're the ones that emailed me and said you seem to be a good person that might be interested in this and as soon as I read their web page that was all about the fundraising of this and everything I thought oh my gosh I have to do this, I totally have to do this. So I'm going to be buying a couple of these. So this is the Gratitude book, I guess that's what I'm going to call it, the greatest gift book and it's got beautiful lovely gold foil on it and inside, why am I doing this? So you tell them why you're doing it, you sign and date it and here are your pages. This is why they said left page, right page because right page has lines, left page does not. You can draw pictures, you can use stamps, you can use the stickers they provide and just do lots and lots of pages about that person. So you need to think of somebody who you have lots of stories to tell about and to wrap it all up give them a closing message about how wonderful they are and keep on spreading the love. So I am dying to see what's in these packs because I have not opened all of this and you are going to get to see the first opening of this. So we have these three packs to check out and let's go to the first one first and I will tear it open let's see what it says here hey this is a mini bonus gift for you the writer open me only after you finish writing your greatest gift well okay I have to set that aside shoot I want to show you what's in it but then you won't be surprised either so I guess that's a good thing we're going to set that aside okay become the ultimate storyteller this is the storytelling pack that they mentioned that has all kinds of stuff inside and oh boy here we go so the storytelling pack has more information which is awesome you win free stuff as you tell your story as you share it so lots and lots more ideas more information look they even have great ideas think about the time you left together the hardest share time you really needed someone just to listen to how much it meant to have your loved one just provide their attention for you without judgment so these are great ideas for how to come up with stories to write in there because I know it'd be hard to kind of come up with what what would be an appropriate story oh my goodness has lots of them look at look at all these great ideas these would even be great to just write letters to people about this kind of stuff oh my goodness I am going to just be using this little booklet all the time can you tell I'm a little bit excited about this so now this is a list of all the stuff that you're going to get in the pack story ideas we were inspired by so they give you some books you can read if you want to read more on being grateful and writing stories and we have corner stickers so you can put photographs in there have an envelope that has little things that you can glue in there little embellishment thingies and a gift sticker here we've got me and you stickers you could put this over top of a photograph and have the photograph peek through yes that's what all of these are for and they all appear to be stickers so these are great frames I'm so excited for what we do put in there oh my gosh I have so many things to be thinking about and then these are all stickers these words you make me blank we are so blank you are totally blank and then you can fill in the rest of it there's more of those lots more journaling stickers those of you who are scrapbookers are going to go ape on this I'm telling you this is very cool and I like that they have a matching color scheme so that things kind of go together and look they have hexagons they have hexagons you guys know how much I love hexagons they have little banners little tiny sentiments lots more of course hearts because why wouldn't they have hearts look at all these stickers in here this is crazy and even if you don't use these in your book if you don't use them all up think of all the cards you can make with these because my audience is card makers and look at the emojis they have flaming poop flaming poop emojis oh my goodness that's hilarious and this is my favorite emoji I like that one the best with the heart eyeballs and if they have puppy heart eyeballs and then puppy crying they have so much in here oh my gosh lots more turned right side down upside down oh there's the upside down one which you could also use as a right setup smiley face or you could use them as a confused emoticon I'm not sure what picture you would put with that my brains are leaking anyway okay there's the storytelling pack and when you're finished I think maybe we're not supposed to open this one either once you're finished writing your greatest gift journal you can use all the materials here to gift this to your lovely your loved one okay so in here are ribbon and a greeting card and envelope you could make your own card because you are crafters people from here who watch me on my channel and I guess we can open this because I want you to see what kind of card you get that doesn't have to be a surprise the other one is a surprise okay there we go let me get this out and all right capture the love the moment when your loved one realizes what this gift is that you're giving them is unforgettable record the reactions now wouldn't that be great to give this to someone in person and watch them read it or at least watch them open it and see that you have done this incredible thing for them make sure you do that that would be amazing and you can share it with them over at thehabitnes.com team inside here we have a card in a nice big heavy envelope the card on the outside is a shiny and slick on the inside you could write on it and you could even color all those wonderful things in there that would be kind of fun and they have a sticker to put on the outside of the envelope to seal it closed and add it to your package now on here it does say that there's ribbon but mine does not have ribbon and I'm going to guess it's because the box itself has the ribbon printed on it so you don't really need ribbon but you could if you're a crafter and you have loads of ribbon like I do you could tie a piece of ribbon on the outside anyway this is my unboxing of the greatest gift I'm excited about this are you guys excited I hope that you will go and get one of these there's a link in the description down below and I want you to know that I am an affiliate now for these folks so if you buy one I get a small percentage and it doesn't cost you anything extra but they have offered me that as a thank you for doing this video for them and after I'm all done with it I may or may not show you what I have created because I think the first person I'm going to do it for is very personal and I'm not sure I'm no positive that I will be wanting to share all the stories and everything with you but maybe I will I don't know maybe I'll show you some peeks at some of the artwork that I do on the left side and not the stories on the right side because I don't want to share that with that person like without asking their permission so be sensitive to if you share things like that on your social media and yeah that is about it for today's video this is the greatest gift it's really cool and I hope that you will go and get one and share your gratitude and your thanks with someone else I want to change the world one crafter at a time and this book this little project this little package it's going to help to do that so you guys go out and have a good day and tell somebody thank you bye
