My Life Memories Book measures 28.3 x 20.3 x 1.9cm
Our personalised My Life Story diary will allow you, or a loved one, to record the most momentous events in their life. Sure, we’ve kept journals as kids, but this handbound keepsake is truly special. As the book is created wholly for the individual, the cover features their name embossed in gold, including a special message on the opening page from yours truly, all of which is presented inside a free gift box. The personalised memory book itself will then feature organised sections colour coded around important stages of their life. They can fill in childhood experiences, pages about their parents, siblings, grandparents and their family tree, all leading to even more noteworthy moments like starting a family, falling in love and much more. Each new section even includes whimsical quotes from icons in history, because, well, this is a life diary after all and what better inspiration to write your own life story than by the words of great icons?
How to Personalise Your Memories Book
Personalise the book with the recipient’s name of up to 22 characters over 1 line. The name will be embossed on the cover of the book. Include a message of up to 80 characters over 2 lines, which will appear on the opening title page.

Beautifully illustrated & personalised throughout. Clearly guides you to complete information/photos of all the stages of your life from the early years. Makes a wonderful keepsake!
Very easy to purchase what I needed from the website. Delivery was fast and the books were exactly as ordered (personalised). A very pleasant shopping experience.

DONT DO BUILD A BEAR U ONLY THE BOOK!
DONT DO BUILD A BEAR U ONLY THE BOOK!! SCAM
wasted 28 pound on this for my sons birthday very disappointed and angry.
Would not recommend to anyone.
Very arrogant on the phone when calling to ask about the item. And email reply wasn't any better.
Save your money and either build a bear on the website or go elsewhere like etsy or not on the highstreet.
If i could minuses stars I would as even 1 is to much

The book itself is absolutely beautiful and wonderfully illustrated. I couldn’t upload a photo onto the website, it kept sticking, so I ordered the book on a bank holiday Friday evening and it was confirmed at 2000h same night.
I e mailed in the book with a photo attached the following morning Saturday at 0730h and asked if anything could possibly be done to attach it. I received a reply that it was too late, already in production, nothing could be done. In 12hrs ? I was really disappointed - I wish I had contacted CS before placing my original order.
Also I assumed Alice would somehow be woven into the stories as advertised “in the books” other stories but The Ultimate Princess Collection does not offer this. Your child’s name appears on the top of each page but they are actually not IN the stories.
If I ordered again I would be much more aware of what is actually on offer.
In The Book does not mean IN every story, so read carefully before ordering as I’m sad to say I didn’t do.

A great cover and fronts piece.
A great cover and fronts piece.
However, Some of the early pages were unreadable even with glasses and a magnifying glass in use. Some of the pages of the 1960s were unreadable as well, and one was even shown to be torn and disheveled as if lifted from a dustbin.

The child's name only appears on the opening page of each story. Other companies replace the name of the character in the story with the child's name.
The format and quality of the book prints and presentation are good.

Very disappointed in this book for so much money - unfortunately I believed my granddaughter would appear in the story not just at the top of the pages - feel as if I’ve been conned!
