Treasure your memories in a personalised keepsake box

Ever since I was a child I have kept memory boxes to store my photos and keepsakes.  Even now I’m married I have a lovely red chest that is home to all our photo albums and a small box with paper memories such as wedding invitations and photos people have sent to us.

I’m not one for keeping absolutely everything, but I like to treasure a few items to look back on in the future.  For my children I have kept a memory box each with some special items such as their first ever pair of shoes, baby blanket and comforter. I also made a scrapbook each of photos when they were babies and have kept their preschool books full of photos and comments from each of their childcare settings.

Right now these are in storage in a clear box in our attic, but I’d like to buy them each a personalised box to keep these precious memories in and I’ll pass them on to them when they are adults.  Perhaps a nice surprise on their 18^th birthdays!

How to store your precious memories

Too many of us take photos with our phones and never do anything with them.  I do quite miss the old-school excitement of receiving photos by post after sending in a film.  I never had a clue what the photos would look like until they arrived by post!

I’d go out and purchase a brand new photo album or photo box to store them in and eagerly await their arrival.  It was all part of the fun of taking photos and storing memories.

Sharing memories is lost a little nowadays as we have hundreds of photos on our smartphones that often just sit there for years!

Store your photos and keepsakes in a bespoke engraved wooden box

When I was offered the chance to give away an item of my choice from Personalised Gifts Market, I was instantly drawn to their selection of bespoke wooden boxes.

They reminded me so much of being a youngster and keeping memory boxes with all my precious keepsakes, tickets, letters from friends and pen pals and photos.

As you can choose the initial you engrave the box with and a date, they make such great gifts for all sorts of occasions.  Just a few ideas are:

• Photo box
• Jewellery box
• Keepsake box
• Keepsake gift for new-born baby
• keepsake gift for newly married couple
