Excited for my parents to fill these out

The book was very high quality, I liked that I could add their names to the front to personalize it. I got one for both of my parents to help learn more about their lives. I am excited to read them once they have filled it all out!


Wonderful gift for my 81 year old father

My dad has lived an extraordinary life. He is always telling us kids and his grandkids stories from his youth and they range from funny, to amazing, to heartwarming. For the holidays, I wanted to give him a gift that was special and unique. This personalized book was perfect! His name was embossed in gold foil so it looks important and the inside has all the prompts he needs for writing his life story. The whole family oooh'd and ahhh'd when they saw it. I am so happy with it!


This makes a fantastic gift

I love the way people's eyes lit up when they realized they were listed as the author. Passing down memory and experience is so important and this is the perfect way to spread stories generation to generation!


EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR!

I have put off for years gifting both my Mom and Dad a journal type legacy book that chronicles their lives because I have never found this item that was thorough, organized and personal to each of them. I visited the Uncommon Goods website to look around and there it was, as if they had specially designed this book just for me and my parents. It is thoughtful in it's layout, thorough in it's depth of guidance and absolutely gorgeous with it's personal and timeless presentation. By being able to personalize the cover with their full names beautifully emblazoned on the cover truly makes this an heirloom piece of my family history that will be cherished for generations to come. I am 100% confident that due to the attention to detail in choosing the materials used in creating this book and stellar craftmanship in it's assembly, many, many hands that come after Mom, Dad and me will have the opportunity to hold, learn about and celebrate the lives of two individuals that are not only their ancestors, but to realize with pride that their legacy is historic.


Great Gift Idea!

This gift was received with great enthusiasm and more family members are now interested in this as a gift idea.


This was well worth it

This product is for my mom. As she enjoys writing in it, I hope one day she leaves it to me so that I have it as a record about her. I would encourage everyone lucky enough to still have their parents to get them a gift like this. Time is precious.


Was a hit with Dad

Great gift


Very dissapointed in the size and quality

Its cheap looking. Ive bought $5 journals that were nicer.

Response from merchant

We are so sorry to hear you are disappointed. We make sure to write the dimensions in the measurement section under the product. Our journal is also made in Brooklyn, with all 'Made in America' components, and we think that adds a lot of value. We have reached out to you to hear more about this issue!



Any chance this comes in Spanish?
