Memolio

Memolio makes a hardcover book about one real person: a grandma, grandpa, nan or grandad, a mother or father. Their real memories and real photos become a painted story in which they are the hero, read by the grandchildren who love them. It is the answer to the questions families actually ask: what to give a grandparent who already has everything, a present for Opa's 80th, a Christmas gift for Nan that is not another mug, a way to keep Mum's life story before the details are lost. The family answers questions about the person, or the grandparent tells the stories themselves by simply talking, and the family approves every page before it prints. Available in English or German and shipped to Austria, Germany, the UK and the US. EUR 45, GBP 40 or USD 49 plus postage, about two weeks from start to doorstep. A European alternative to Storyworth, Remento, Hooray Heroes and Wonderbly: the story is a real life, not a name dropped into a template. See a complete book at memolio.io/example-book.html. Further titles, including how a couple met and the arrival of a new baby, are in development.
