Something that lasts.
Why your parents will be especially thrilled to receive a Meminto Stories book
As a son, a daughter, or even together as siblings, you often find yourself asking, “What would Dad and Mom be excited about this year?”
With Meminto Stories’ Parent Book, you’ll get access to our extensive family question collection, on your phone or in your browser. Each answered question turns into a story of your life together, which can further be enriched with pictures and videos.
At the end, we will print a beautiful and long-lasting book that will be sent to you. Your parents will be amazed how much they have already forgotten from the time you spent together – thanks to your efforts, they will remember it again. A present that they will look at again and again to dive into the beautiful days of the past.
Life writes the best stories.
This is how your Meminto can look like!
For mom, for dad – or both.
The DIY book you can write for your parents, either by yourself or in collaboration with your siblings. It’s that simple:
We will ask you 52 questions about your family life. You can answer them in your browser or in the Meminto app.
When you are done, you can upload up to 250 photos as well as videos and voice memos and furthermore personalize your book. 1-2 weeks later, you’ll have a unique book with the best memories of your past in your hands.
