Give the gift of a story
Why StoryGift?
Unique & Lasting Gift
Forget traditional presents. StoryGift offers a way to give something priceless – the power of memories and emotions in story form.
Effortless & Meaningful
Our simple, guided process helps you build a meaningful story even if you’re not a writer. In just a few steps, you can create a gift that’s easy to give and deeply impactful to receive.
For All Occasions
Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, or just because – give a gift that is perfect for every occasion.
How It Works:
-
1. Choose A Story
We’ll help you identify who you’re writing this story for, and the memory to highlight. You’ll learn what makes a good StoryGift based on your goals and the occasion.
-
2. Write It
We’ll recreate that memory through language. You’ll learn how to bring back vivid details and how to emphasize a character trait or strength you’d like to highlight.
-
3. Gift It
Once your story is complete, it’s time to gift it as a beautifully formatted keepsake – either digitally or as a printed book.
Purchase Once— Give For Life
One-time payment that gives you StoryGift for life. Once you know how to create and send a StoryGift, giving will never be the same.
Kathleen has sent multiple StoryGifts
"I could never have imagined the impact shared memories in story form would have on others. A close friend, who is in a facility because of dementia, smiles and laughs when her husband visits and reads my stories, reliving the fun times we all shared. My brother, struggling with grief since we lost our younger brother, is able to focus on laughter and our shared memories. Writing these stories has become an unexpected obsession and delight!”

Marsha reconciled with her daughter
“I thought we may never talk or text again. After sending her the story… I asked her to come over on Mother’s Day. I read my story to her aloud and she began to cry. She said that she can't believe how many shared memories we have and what a wonderful childhood she had. This led to a long and deep conversation about learning to deal with each other now that she is an adult. It was a wonderful Mother’s Day for sure. Reconciliation came as a result of sharing my story gift with her.

The StoryGift Impact:
-
"I started my StoryGift for my mom when our relationship was in a rough place. I wanted to honor her with this gift. Before I gifted her the story, we began to iron out our relationship, but giving her the Storygift brought sweet healing tears. It was a blessing to be able to let my mom know, in story form, how much she has positively impacted my life."
