You'll blink, and they'll be grown.

Write it down while you can feel it.

​​

Every parent knows the feeling

The birthday that arrives before you're ready, the year that went faster than you thought possible. 

 

The things you meant to say. Letters to You gives you a place to say them. One letter per birthday, from their very first year to their 21st and a collection of open letters for all the moments in between. A journal you write slowly, over a lifetime. A gift they will keep forever.

Birthday Cake Display

21 birthdays.
A lifetime of love on the page.

This is a journal unlike any other. Each year, on your child's birthday, you open to a new page and write — about who they are right now, what made you proud this year, the moments you never want to forget, and the love that only grows bigger with time.

By the time they turn 21, you'll have created something extraordinary: a complete portrait of their childhood, told through your eyes, in your words, full of the details only a parent notices. Then you hand it to them — and watch them read it. There is no gift like this one.

How it works

Simple to start. Impossible to stop.

  1. Start on their first birthday or any birthday: It's never too late to begin. Whether your child is a newborn or already in primary school, every letter from here on becomes part of the story.

  2. Write once a year just on their birthday: Gentle prompts inside each letter section help you reflect and write, no blank page anxiety. Just you, your thoughts, and the child you love.

  3. 21 birthday letters + open letter pages: Dedicated space for each birthday from 1 to 21, plus open letter pages for the moments between, first day of school, a hard year, a milestone you want to mark.

  4. Give it to them when the time is right: On their 18th, their 21st, their wedding day — whenever feels right. A complete, handwritten record of how much they were loved, from day one.

The most personal gift you can give

to your child, or to a new parent. 

For new parents

Start from the very beginning. Write the letter you'd want your baby to one day read — about the day they arrived and changed everything.

For parents of young children

Start now, it's not too late. Write backwards for the years you've already lived together, or simply begin this birthday and go forward.

Grandparents can keep their own copy, writing a letter from their perspective every year. A second, parallel love letter to the same child.

As a gift from grandparents

For Mother's Day or Father's Day

Give a parent the most meaningful gift, space to say what they feel but might never otherwise write down. Beautiful, lasting, and completely unique.

As a baby shower gift

One of the most original, meaningful gifts a new parent can receive. Something no one else will think to give and something they'll use for the next 21 years.

For single parents

An especially powerful keepsake proof of a love that showed up, every single year, written in your own hand.

Write in the language of your heart

 

Love is universal and so is this journal. Letters to You is available in English, French and Spanish, so parents anywhere in the world can write to their child in the language that feels most like home.
