Gifts I'd Like to Give to You was a gift given to me by a friend that is considered a sourcebook of joy and encouragement with many quotes ranging from The Gift of Knowing That Beautiful Tomorrows Begin Today to The Gift of Allowing for More Kindness to The Gift of Many Happy Returns & many more. My friend wrote an inscription of "I wish you all good things for always. These are truly the gifts I would give you." I have been reading a few quotes each day & finished today & look forward to using it to help provide inspiration to others. Thanks to my friend for knowing me so well.

A nice easy read, but lacking in overly moving quotes. It was a nice change from what I've been reading though.

A lot of good quotes, but the best part is the added notes from my mom.

This was a sweet little book full of inspirational quotations. I had given it to my neighbor, some years ago, and when she was downsizing she found it and gave it back to me.
