How it all works

Why this gift matters…

This isn’t just a set of questions.
It’s the lessons of someone’s life, written in their own words, one week at a time.
A legacy your family will keep long after gifts, holidays, and moments have passed.

A Weekly Rhythm You Can Follow

They’ll get one meaningful question in their inbox each week. And you’ll get their answers too, little weekly windows into their thoughts, advice, and lessons as they unfold.

Your Shared Private Portal

You’ll also have your own private portal where all the questions and answers live in one place.
The writer can edit their answers anytime, and you can log in whenever you like to see everything coming together.

Your Finished Book

The answers will eventually be turned into a beautiful book, with every question and every bit of their wisdom gathered in one place.

How everything works in 4 simple steps

Step 1: Buy the gift

Once payment goes through, you’re taken straight to a short setup form.


Step 2: Fill in the setup form

Takes under a minute.
You’ll enter both your emails and your start date.

This tells us where the questions go and when they should begin.


Step 3: Choose when the questions start

You pick the start date — today, next week, Christmas, a birthday… anything.


Step 4: They receive one weekly question

They reply in their own words. Their answers build into a “Rules for Life” book your family will keep forever.
