Caring for someone living with dementia is incredibly hard, and can often be lonely, for both yourself and the person you are caring for. A Dementia Memory Book can be a therapeutic tool and a rewarding activity to combat loneliness. Not just for your loved one, but also for you.

Some great ideas for celebrating World Book Day 2021

Mother’s Day is just around the corner, have you got your gift sorted yet? Don’t worry if not, there’s no need to order the generic bunch of flowers, you don’t need to grab a last minute box of supermarket chocolates, or settle for an uninspired gift voucher. There’s still plenty of time to create a unique, personalised Mother’s Day gift to show your mum how much you care, with a little helping hand from us!

Well… nothing! It’s changed a bit with the times, but people still love scrapbooking. Most people don’t even realise that they are doing it! If you’ve ever made a photo book using an online tool then you’ve scrapbooked too - probably without even knowing it.

Passing down family heirlooms is an age-old tradition. We’ve come up with a few unique family heirloom ideas that you can create to be passed down to younger generations, helping to keep your treasured family memories alive for longer.

What a strange year it’s been – whether you loved it or hated it, it’s been a moment in history. I write this blog in the hope and belief that we’ll go many years without a repeat. I’m proposing that what happened this year was something we will look back on as a ‘moment in time’ . . . a truly noteworthy moment. And in that spirit I’m creating a 2020 Memory book . . . and I think you should too!

Drawing on your nostalgic memory bank when you are feeling lonely or low can be a great tool, especially in these colder, darker wintery days. The warm glow of nostalgia will help boost your mood, and may motivate you to get in touch with family and friends and enjoy a heart-warming, nostalgic chat reliving memories and swapping stories.

With it sadly looking more likely you won’t be able to visit your grandparents this festive season then you’ll probably be racking your brain to think of the ideal gift to show them how much you care, what they mean to you, and that you are missing them. A personalised memory book does exactly that.

2020 has been a memorable year, that’s for sure! With our second UK lockdown underway, it got us thinking. Just because you’re keeping a safe distance from your family and friends at the moment, that doesn’t mean that you can’t still be making memories with them!

Memory Books are great whether you are writing your own life story or about the life of someone you love or respect, or capturing a momentous event in your life or your latest holiday.

A memory book can be a great aid to stimulating the memories of a person with dementia or Alzheimer's.
