Hardback cover feels sturdy and the pages are thick enough that my mum's pen doesn't bleed through.
The slipcase adds an elegant finishing touch. My mum has it on her bedside table and adds to it most evenings.
Bought as a birthday present for my mum. Beautifully made and very well received. My only small suggestion would be to include a longer ribbon bookmark.
No fuss, just a lovely journal that got my mum talking about her childhood for the first time in ages.
Already thinking about getting one for my mother-in-law after seeing how much my own mum enjoyed hers.
My mum is filling this in for us grandkids to read one day. It means a lot knowing her stories will be kept somewhere safe.
My mum said it was one of the most thoughtful presents she's ever received. The questions are well chosen.
My mum read out some of her answers at a family dinner and none of us had heard those stories before.
Gave this to my mum at her birthday, and she was still filling it in months later. A gift that keeps giving.
She's been telling us she wants to fill in a section every night before bed. Lovely idea, beautifully executed.
The binding and paper feel really solid. My mum was worried it would feel cheap but it's the opposite.
Bought this for my mum's 70th and it's turned into the best present she received. She's already halfway through.
My mum keeps it by her armchair and says the prompts make her think about things she hasn't thought about in years.
I wasn't sure my mum would actually use it but she's been filling in a page or two every Sunday.
My mum has started filling it in and we're already learning stories we'd never heard before.
I'd happily buy another for a different family member. My mum's copy has become a proper family treasure already.
Lovely design and simple layout. Easy for my mum to use even though she doesn't normally enjoy writing.
A meaningful alternative to flowers or chocolates for my mum this year. I'm really pleased with the purchase.
The paper quality is excellent and there's plenty of space for my mum to write properly rather than just a few lines.
My mum opened this and got quite emotional. She said no one had ever asked her to write her story down before.
Ordered this as a Mother's Day gift and it was a huge hit. My mum loves that she can take her time filling it in rather than writing a card.
My mum said the questions brought back memories she'd forgotten. We ended up chatting for hours after she read some of the answers out loud.
Much nicer than I expected. It feels like a premium gift rather than just a notebook, and my mum has already filled in the first few pages.
I bought this for my mum and she absolutely loved it. The prompts are thoughtful and easy to answer.
