Magical Story Jars helping families on the other side of the world to connect

Here at HQ we love hearing all about how you use your Magical Story Jars because quite frankly it puts tremendously big smiles on our faces.  We have helped lots of you fantastic folk send your Magical Story Jar gifts to friends and family members who live abroad.  Indeed, we’re proud to say that our Magical Story Jars have now reached seven different countries!  So when one of our UK customers and loyal followers told us that she and her granddaughter use a Magical Story Jar via Skype, we were eager to find out more! 

Jean bought a Magical Story Jar for her eldest granddaughter April after reading about a write up on them in her local newspaper.  “One day I was on Skype when April (who lives in America) and I decided to use the story jar.  We hadn't thought about making stories via Skype until that point and my, what fun we had!  The whole family got involved and had great fun using the story cards to tell some great stories together.   As my grandchildren live in America it’s a wonderful way to bridge the gap and spend time with them creating our own unforgettable stories.  I think Magical Story Jars are a wonderful way to let children's imagination flourish as the years go by.”  We think Jean’s grandchildren are incredibly lucky to have a grandma like Jean! 

If you are looking to give a gift that’s a little bit different, then you might want to think about a Magical Story Jar.  We are able to send your order directly to the recipient and add a personalised gift note too.  Shop our range here. 

How do you stay connected with family and friends who live abroad?  We would love to hear about any unique ways or traditions you have in order to make friends and family feel closer to home.
