The Water Bearer Gift Set With Handmade Cup
A thoughtful gift for someone who gives so much—and a gentle reminder that receiving belongs in the cycle too.
This Choose A Life You Love gift set brings together the print edition of both the Charity Journal and The Water Bearer Illustrated poem, plus a handmade heart cup and two coordinating bookmarks.
Each piece connects to the same idea:
Giving freely.
Receiving gratefully.
Recognising that your own cup matters too.

THE CHARITY JOURNAL
The Choose A Life You Love Charity Journal is a guided journaling book created for thoughtful reflection on charity in its many forms.
It explores more than financial giving. The prompts invite the reader to consider kindness, time, attention, encouragement, awareness, receiving, paying it forward and the small contributions that can quietly change another person’s day.
It can be completed in order, opened at random or returned to whenever a particular prompt feels meaningful.
There is no race and no required schedule.
One prompt you love, one day at a time.
THE WATER BEARER ILLUSTRATED POEM
The Water Bearer explores the woman who spends her life filling everybody else’s cup—and what happens when she begins to recognise that her own cup matters too.
It is a companion to the Charity Journal and gives the set its central symbolism: the cup, the water bearer and the practice of both giving and receiving.
The book and journal can be read independently, but together they create a more complete reflective experience.
THE HANDMADE CUP
The handmade cream cup is decorated with raised red hearts and a sculpted red bow.
It is a physical reminder of the message running through the collection:
You are allowed to have a cup of your own.
Because the cup is handmade, small differences and natural irregularities may be present. These are part of its individual character rather than faults.
THE BOOKMARKS
Two coordinating bookmarks are included:
• A green Water Bearer bookmark
• A white and soft-pink Choose A Life You Love category bookmark
They can be used across the book and journal or kept separately.
