Are you a fan of the Chicken Soup for the Soul book series or know someone who is? Well, Blurb just came out with a special line of the books that you can personalize for yourself or as a gift for someone special!

Personalized Chicken Soup for The Soul Books

Not only do you get to choose from five different story themes (from “Christmas Stories” to “Giving thanks”), you can personalize it in ways you just can’t with a conventional book. As the title suggests, these are stories meant to comfort, heal and inspire the soul.

Your custom Chicken Soup for the Soul book will truly be a book especially for the recipient because the book is printed with their name on the cover. And it’s truly from you because your name is printed on the cover as the giver. You can even include an inscription inside the book and on the back cover. Even add a photo to the back.

There are other nice options to choose from, like the type of cover you’d like and the type of paper. It takes just about five minutes to make it a truly custom book. And chances are, it’s something they’ll love forever. And a 60-page book starts at just $24.95.

There’s a quick video here: Chicken Soup for the Soul that shows you how to fill in all the info using a simple online tool. The books are all done by Blurb, so you know the quality is going to be great and your gift is sure to be unique!
