“My parent says they have nothing to tell.”

Almost everyone says that — until they read the first question. Small, specific questions (“How did you meet?”) bring back stories nobody knew were there.

What if they don't like writing?

If they can write a postcard, they can fill this in. A few lines per question are enough — no deadline, no blank page.

Surprise gift

I decided to give each of my parents a journal a few days ago. I’m not sure if they’ve started yet, but they were moved and happy with the gift. I filmed the opening, but didn’t take photos. I still can’t wait to discover their stories and secrets.

Very well made

These books are so much more than just a gift—they are a true treasure for the future. Knowing that my parents are taking the time to write down their memories, thoughts, and the important moments of their lives touches me deeply. It’s like having a piece of their history that I can keep forever. I already feel so emotional thinking about what I’ll discover when I read them later. These books will be priceless treasures, filled with love and memories that will remain forever. Truly a wonderful idea, and I don’t regret it for a second!

A very beautiful gift idea, for your family and for yourself. To understand better, to feel more, to remember… questions you’d like to ask, or others you’d never have thought of, but which are so sweet and important.

Incredible

This book is about passing on heritage, not monetary, but emotional and personal. The author guides the reader through writing stories for their loved ones. The book is structured into several themes, each addressing an aspect of life to share: childhood memories, lessons learned, moments of happiness or hardship.
The author is warm and encouraging. He uses simple language to make writing accessible to everyone. The tone is kind, creating an atmosphere of trust. The main theme is transmission, not as a burden but as a gift.
This book is a valuable resource for anyone wishing to leave a meaningful legacy to their loved ones. It’s not just about writing a book, but an inner journey. It’s a guide for those who want to express their feelings and experiences authentically.
It’s a work that can be read and reread, a constant source of inspiration to enrich family and personal bonds.

James Wilson

For a wonderful dad

I recently bought “Dad, I want to know your story” and I’m thrilled! For his birthday, it was an excellent gift. For a man who already has everything, this gift was perfect to discover an unknown side of him—my father’s intimate life. I highly recommend it, especially if you’re looking for a gift to keep in memory, with tears included when opening it.

So much emotion

Hello, On March 27, 2025, I ordered 2 books to give one to my dad for his birthday about two weeks later. After 8 days without a shipping notice, I contacted customer service who told me delivery takes 10 days. On April 19, three weeks later, still nothing. I had to find another gift. I followed up, and only then they told me there was a carrier issue and offered me 20% off a FUTURE order. The package finally arrived April 23—28 days after ordering (far from the 10 announced). As I already told the company by email, the least they could have done was keep the client informed and offer a better gesture (like a partial refund), not just a small discount that forces another purchase. That’s unprofessional. I obviously don’t recommend this brand and won’t ever order again!

B
Benjamin Hughes
Great books! Delivery way too long

Great idea for a family gift. It creates sharing and the writings stay forever. I don’t regret at all buying them for my parents. A rich emotional exchange!

Love journal, simply incredible

I was looking for an original gift to give to my mom for the birth of my son, which will be in a few weeks. It was exactly what I needed—she will love this keepsake and telling her story through the journal. A gift for her now, and for my son when he grows up. Thank you.

Gift for a future grandma

I received my order, everything was well packaged, but my order was incomplete. I ordered the book + Valentine’s Day card option, and I only got the book.

I always meant to ask her about her childhood.
