A newborn’s first year of life is special, but every parent knows just how hard it is to keep track of everything!

Beyond The First Year - Gifts That Celebrate Growing Up
With a modern design full of colour and soul, our memory books can be the perfect baby's
first Christmas book gift, but not only!
For kids beyond the age of 1, “The Book of You” makes for a special first birthday gift that’s more than a book, but rather an irreplaceable heirloom. A future memory bank that captures more than names and dates, but the small details that might otherwise be forgotten.
Offer the gift of connection with “The Book of Me and You” - a family memory journal designed to be filled by both a guardian/carer and a growing toddler, creating a safe space for both to share their most precious memories and feelings.

Baby Shower Gifts
That special day is approaching, and what better way to mark this occasion than with a baby book gift?

Gender Reveal Gifts
For your next gender reveal party, choose a gift that celebrates the arrival of a whole person, not just their gender.
By choosing a stylish, gender-neutral design, you provide the perfect canvas for the parents to start documenting the baby's journey before the birth, regardless of whether they're planning a pink or blue announcement.
