Memory boxes: a place for familiar objects and personal stories

What is a memory box?

A memory box brings together photographs, keepsakes and familiar objects connected to a person’s life. Its contents can reflect their family, interests, work or favourite places.

Make it personal

You might include a postcard from a familiar place, a copy of a treasured photograph or an object connected to a hobby. Start with a few meaningful items rather than filling the box all at once. Let the person’s interests guide the collection.

Choosing a box

Compare the dimensions and opening style, and think about where the box will be kept. Check each product page for materials, finish and what is included. A small collection of photographs may need a different amount of space from larger keepsakes.
