When Grandma Makes Shopping Meaningful

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and I’m excited about sharing stories with you from our new book about being a grandmother. Chicken Soup for the Soul: Being Grandma will make a great gift for Mother’s Day or any other occasion. It’s filled with stories written by grandmothers and also by grandchildren and grown children about the grandmothers in their lives. I’m biased because I have seven grandchildren but I think this book is AMAZING. Today I want to share a couple of stories that will actually be helpful to anyone who is involved with taking kids shopping for gifts or providing gifts to children, as there are some good ideas in these stories about how to make shopping a more meaningful experience for kids instead of just the same old “more more more I want” kind of thing.
