The gift box
Beautifully wrapped and ready to hand over – with a personal dedication from you.
At your door in days
In short
What do you give Mom for Mother’s Day?
Something that is still there after Sunday. With the Life Story Book she gets one question a week on her phone and answers by voice or in writing; over the months it becomes a matte 5.8 × 8.3-inch hardcover book, a one-time purchase from $99, no subscription. Late? On Mother’s Day you give the beginning, not the finished book – handing it over works on the day itself.
The product
A gift made to be held.
You are not giving only an idea: you are creating a real Meminto memory book with personal writing, photos, and optional voices via QR code.

What is actually missing on Mother’s Day
You may know who she is to you. Not who she was to herself.
She was young once, had plans nobody knows about any more, and a friend she never mentions. For you, her story starts the moment you appear – everything before that is a few photos and one or two sentences you have known for years.
And she will not offer it. Someone has to ask.
We started a Meminto when my mother was still alive and we made a lot of audio recordings. Now I listen to it from the book every time I miss her. The Meminto team has faithfully helped for over a year. It was fun!
Choose the right beginning
A Mother’s Day that echoes all year.
Whether Mom tells her own story or all the children write together: Mother’s Day is the beginning, not the deadline.
Mom tells her own story
With the Life Story Book, Mom tells her own story, one question a week – in her words, at her own pace.
The children write for her
Or turn it around: in the Book for Mom & Dad, all children write down together what they love about her.
Given at the last minute
Mother’s Day is the day after tomorrow? The e-card arrives instantly, the gift box overnight – Mom starts calmly afterward.
From Mother’s Day to a Life Story Book
You are not giving a finished book. You are giving the invitation to tell her story.
01The questions are ready
Meminto suggests the questions that carry a life story. You can adapt, remove or add any question.
Flexibly adapt the questions.
02A question arrives
Every week, your loved one receives a new question by app, email or phone call. They simply start telling. Those who prefer writing can type.
At the pace that suits you.
03Answers become a book
Each answer becomes a chapter. Once enough has been told, the book goes to print: a matte 5.8 × 8.3-inch hardcover, printed in full colour.
Memories become pages.
04The family reads, hears and sees
Every story is immediately there for the whole family. In the printed book, a QR code leads back to the real voice. The e-book can be shared worldwide.
The memory stays alive.

“I felt well taken care of by Meminto. They made me feel like my project was just as important to them as it was to me. I am proud to finally hold my book in my hand. It brings me joy and satisfaction, and I can cross it off my bucket list.
“We started a Meminto when my mother was still alive and we made a lot of audio recordings. Now I listen to it from the book every time I miss her. The Meminto team has faithfully helped for over a year. It was fun!
“My neighbor first wrote a Meminto book. I was so fascinated by it that she helped me create my own. I look back on almost 100 years – That’s why there was a lot to tell, my grandchildren were happy.
“I initially wanted to document my life for my children. Thanks to Meminto’s insightful questions and prompt support, my story flourished into over 300 pages across two volumes.
