We craft heirlooms, memoirs and family books - here's what inspires us!

Our Story of 2019: Forbes, Tribeca... And an offer you cannot refuse!

The Cathcart Family smiles after receiving their Mini-Book. The book tells the story of how Alan and Pauline (now grandparents and sitting in the back) met 50 years ago. More on our Mini-Books further below!

Hello!


As we gear up for the new year, we've been reflecting on what a great 2019 it's been.

And so we could do either one of two things:

We could serve you a 15,000-word newsletter to start off strong... Or we could just share with you our top moments of the past year. Yeah, let's do that. 

See you at the bottom!


So what have we been up to?

 

More stories from around the world:

Building our communities:

Forbes made special mention of Plantain!


And in our quest to make life story books more accessible, we developed the amazing Mini-Books!
 

Our mini-books make it easy and fun to capture your loved one's memories.

Here's how it works:

  1. We send your loved one questions,

  2. They answer them in writing using our guided online system,

  3. We transform their answers into the most meaningful gift imaginable, interweaving custom illustrations and photographs.

Sounds lovely, doesn't it?

 
Unique gift capturing the memories
