“I’ve been writing my life story since I was in my 20’s. Now I finally have a medium for capturing my tales on paper in a beautifully printed book, using ‘copy & paste’ and the Meminto blank book option. I’m already working on my second book! You can find my review here!
“I highly recommend the childhood book . I made it for my son so he knows how great our family time used to be. He already loves it and enjoys looking at it over and over again.
“I am a photographer and value high print quality. Meminto has absolutely met that. I genuinely love the idea behind collecting stories, not just our own but of those around us. Read my Meminto review here.
“My neighbour Helga helped me write the story of my life into a book. Remembering the old days brought me joy, and now I have something to pass on to my grandchildren.
“Elise’s grandmother Carole decided to immortalize the first years of Elise’s life in a Meminto Childhood book. An almost 500-page thick book has been created, and Elise was full of joy!
“I have captured the stories of our family over the last 12 months. It’s more than just a photo book: you feel gratitude for all the great moments! Here is my Meminto review.
“I am extremely happy that I was able to preserve my late brother’s stories and poems with Meminto before they are forgotten. The support from Meminto has been amazing.
“William’s grandmother, Carole, created a Meminto Childhood book as a surprise for his 13th birthday. After months of dedication and a last-minute race to finish, the gift arrived just in time and William was so captivated that he read it aloud to his family on the drive home
“Our guests gathered stories about us and also recorded the wedding day for us in the book, with lots of pictures and videos. We can always pick it up and dive back in. Really nice.
“With just one question per week, I was able to record my life story. That was a lot of fun! I am proud of my book and am already preparing the second book.
“With Meminto Stories I found a way to keep all my flashbacks of the first adventure with our child in a book. Now we can cherish them forever.
“I’ve tried so many things, but with any travel picture, you always have to tell your friends what you experienced there anyway. That’s the strong advantage of Meminto. It includes the WHOLE story.
“I have experienced a lot in my 70 years and spent a long time in the Philippines serving with a charity organization. I have recorded my experiences and stories in my own book.
“So much more than just a photo book. Through the questions, beautiful old memories come up again. Even videos could be loaded into the book. Emotions like when it all happened!
“What I liked was capturing memories in the form of videos and audios. Nobody does that as well as Meminto. We both had fun answering the questions and became closer. The childhood book is next.
“Together with my son I have been able to record almost a century of history. We have created 16 books in German and seven in English. My family lives widely scattered. They were very happy.
“Thanks to Meminto, I finally had the opportunity to create a great memory book for my children without spending a lot of time ☺️
“Our favorite feature is that you can add a video memory in your book! How amazing is that!? This truly sets Meminto apart, and that is why we chose to trust them to bind together our special memories so that they will last forever!.
