The gift box
Beautifully wrapped with the Childhood Memory Book – a personal beginning to your family story.
At your door in days
In short
How do you keep the early years before the teenage years begin?
With a Childhood Memory Book that looks back on the early years. You answer questions about your child’s small quirks, big firsts and shared moments – by voice or in writing. The book grows at your pace and is printed once you have finished telling: a matte 5.8 × 8.3-inch hardcover, a one-time purchase from $99, no subscription.
What quietly gets lost in the early years
You have the photos. You do not have the stories.
Twelve thousand pictures on your phone, and in a few years you still will not remember why your child laughed in one of them, which word they got wrong, or what made that ordinary afternoon suddenly special.
Your child’s early years pass faster than you think. What you do not tell them now, nobody tells them later.
From parents who did it
What stays afterwards
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.
Choose the right beginning
A book that keeps the early years.
Whether you look back or keep writing during the school years: starting school, a birthday or another transition is the occasion – not the deadline.
Keep the early years
From first words and small quirks to the big firsts: you tell what your child may not remember themselves one day.
When the teenage years come closer
In the Youth Book for Your Child, you can later preserve school, friendships and the journey into the teenage years.
When now feels like the right moment
For starting school, a birthday or simply because: give the beginning as an e-card, voucher or gift box – printing happens once you have finished telling.

“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.
“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!
“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.
“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!
Frequently asked questions
Why not simply write along from birth?
Because Meminto works in hindsight: the questions bring back what you lived through. You write at your own pace and can preserve the early years even after they have passed – not as a daily log, but as a story told by the family.
What age is the Childhood Memory Book for?
The Childhood Memory Book fits the early years through the first school years – the time children often remember only in fragments later on. As the teenage years get closer, you can continue in the Youth Book for Your Child.
Does the book have to be finished by the first day of school?
No. Starting school can be a lovely occasion, but it is not a deadline. If you begin later, you can still tell the early years – the book is printed when you are finished.
What does a Childhood Memory Book cost?
From $99 including a matte 5.8 × 8.3-inch hardcover with up to 100 pages. Additional copies for grandparents and godparents cost less.
Can grandparents or godparents give this as a gift?
Yes – it is especially fitting from them. Grandparents bring memories of family rituals, holidays and the child’s little quirks; godparents give a personal reason to preserve the story from the perspective of people who accompany the child as they grow up. Both can add their own memories or invite the parents to begin telling.
How does Meminto work in the browser – and is there an app?
Meminto works directly in your browser — on a computer, tablet or phone, with nothing to install. If you prefer speaking to typing, you can also use the Meminto app for iOS and Android.
