Baby Books & Personalised Baby Journals

What is a Baby Book?

A baby book is a keepsake designed to help you record milestones, photographs and the little stories that shape your baby’s early years. It holds the moments you never want to forget. Our baby books are made to last, with thoughtful details that make memory-keeping feel natural and enjoyable. We are based in New Zealand and personalise every baby book and baby journal by hand each day.

Your First Years Baby Book

Our illustrated baby book, Your First Years, is one of our most loved keepsakes in New Zealand. With gentle watercolour artwork throughout, it offers guided prompts, space for photographs and room for your own words. The layout is simple and calming, helping you record everything from birth details to first steps without feeling overwhelmed. It is a beautiful choice for parents who want a timeless and artful record of their baby’s story.

What is a Baby Journal?

A baby journal is a more flexible version of a baby book. It invites you to write freely and capture everyday moments, thoughts and memories as they happen. Our baby and childhood journals are designed to be started at any age. Whether your child is a newborn or already a few years old, you can begin recording the memories that matter most, in your own way and at your own pace.

"To My Daughter" and "To My Son" Baby Journals

Our 'to my' range of baby journals is one of our most unique and innovative keepsakes in New Zealand. These journals grow with your child and with you, becoming a deeply personal record of love, memories and the moments that matter most.

What sets them apart is the set of gold foil journal prompt stickers, created especially for parents who want both freedom and gentle guidance. Rather than following a strict, linear timeline, you can choose a prompt whenever inspiration strikes. Beautifully printed in shimmering gold foil, these stickers offer dozens of thoughtful ideas to write about, from simple everyday joys to bigger milestones and life lessons. You can place the stickers anywhere in the journal, creating a completely personal flow that feels natural rather than structured.

These journals can be started at any age. Newborn, toddler, school age or even the teenage years, it never feels too late to begin. You write whenever you like, as much or as little as you like, making it a comforting and flexible way to document your child’s story. The result is a one of a kind keepsake filled with your memories, hopes and reflections. A book your child will treasure for life.
