What you give: their story
The conversations
An hour at a time, at the kitchen table. We prepare the questions; you listen.
Their own voice
The book has codes. Scan one and you hear them telling the story themselves.
The book
Their life on paper, with photos, to read and pass on.
How to give it at Christmas
You can't wrap a story. So we make a gift set to put under the tree: a box with two folders, made to measure. After ordering, you answer a few questions about your mother, father or grandparent. We use them to prepare the topics and the first questions.
For the storyteller
A folder with your letter and the topics for the conversations.
For the person asking
A folder with the instructions and the questions for the first conversation.
The gift card
With the code to get started.
An envelope
Open after your first conversation: inside, you read how the story begins.
How it works, in three steps
- 01
You order and tell us who it's for
After ordering, you answer a few questions. We use them to make the gift set. It arrives within three working days.
- 02
They unwrap it at Christmas
The box holds the topics and the first questions. Plan the first conversation straight away.
- 03
You talk, we write the book
You record the conversations with a phone. We write the story, you read it through, and then we print the book.
What you get in the end: the book
We turn the conversations into a book to read together and keep. You choose the photos and review the text before the book is printed.
A Christmas gift from the whole family
Give it together as a family. It works just as well for one parent, or for a grandmother or grandfather on their own.
Order in time
For Christmas, order well ahead of the holiday. The gift set arrives within three working days and currently ships to the Netherlands and Belgium.
