The photos you’ve never seen. The stories you’ve never heard. All brought together in one beautiful book.

Every memory keeps the name of the person who wrote it, and the photographs they sent go with it.

Which book are you making?

Birthday Book

A gift for a milestone birthday, from a 10th to a 100th. Memories and photographs from family and friends, gathered before the day and printed as a hardcover.

Memorial Book

In memory of someone who has died. An online board, with a background you choose, where the people who knew them add memories, stories and photographs. When the family is ready, it becomes a printed keepsake book, with a cover you choose.

Big moments and adventures

You know Mum.

Her siblings: the girl she was.
Her friends: the adventures.
Her colleagues: another side of her.

Bring all those pieces together, while the stories are still there to be told.

Everyone
remembers
a different
piece

Everyone remembers a different piece.

They can contribute in whatever way suits them. One memory is enough.

Collect the photos while you still can

01
Add a photo
From the camera roll, or a photo of an old print.
Discover a side
you never knew
02
Write a memory
A thought, a story or a kind message. Long or short.
You came round with a bottle of wine and your wrapping kit, sat on my floor and got on with it. How lucky am I?
Love always,
Jane x
03
Or just say it
Talk instead of typing. We’ll write it down for you.
Speak a message
“Sue, apparently I’m supposed to write something nice about you because you’re seventy…
being your younger brother means…
Sometimes it’s easier to say it
04
Watch it become a book
Photos with words under them, and each memory beside the photo it came with.

You make it for them. You don’t realise you’re making it for yourself too.

Imagine her discovering what she means to everyone.

The stories they still tell.
The moments they still remember.
The little things she did that they never forgot.

A book that doesn’t just celebrate her life. It shows her what her life has meant to everyone else.

Four friends at a pub table laughing over an open orange and pink book with 50 and Sarah Evans on the cover.

Structure, design, guidance, prompts:

that’s our job.

Knowing the person:

that’s yours.

The book reads as if everyone knew exactly what to say. We helped them know.

Beautiful already. Change as much, or as little, as you like.

Move photos, edit text, change layouts and chapter titles. We give you a starting point, so it’s easy whether you make it your own or leave it as it is.

If you want to

Make it yours

Move anything, swap layouts, add words under any photo, rename and reorder chapters, choose the cover. Change as much or as little as you like.

Either way, nothing prints until you approve it.

Change anything, with one tap

The book is laid out for you. If you want to change it, everything is a tap away. These are the real screens.

Tap a photo, and it’s yours to move

Change your mind?

Undo is always there.

Made to keep.

Chapters: The book comes with chapters to start from: the parts of a life for a birthday or a memorial, the best moments and funny stories for a leaving book. You rename, add or remove any of them.
Everyone’s words: Letters, short notes and stories, each with the name of the person who wrote it. Someone who would rather talk can say their memory out loud instead, and it prints as written words.
Photographs: Each person can add up to 30, and they are laid out on the page alongside the words. You choose the crops, the layouts, and which photograph gets a page of its own.
