Mum, Tell Me Your Story

The original give & get back book

The original give and get back journal – over 5 million copies sold worldwide

This journal is a very special gift for your mum that she gives back to you, full of memories.
It’s a chance to ask her the questions you'd always wondered about, and plenty you hadn't. Questions like:

- Did you have a favourite toy when you were a little girl?
- What did you want to be when you grew up?
- What is one of the most special things you've achieved in life?
Mum can write or put photographs or anything she wishes in its pages, transforming it into a lasting chronicle of her dreams and stories. Then she gives it back to you, so you can treasure her memories forever.
