I have just found a super new product to list on our site – the Life Story books. These beautiful books are available as single books at £5.85, or in packs of 11 for £49.50 (great for care homes).

My Life Book

These are memory aids, where, often with assistance, the recipient records details of his, or her life, like an autobiography. This could make a lovely present for a friend or family member having problems with Dementia or Alzheimers, and has been shown in a recent trial that it can be useful in these cases, stimulating the senses and giving pleasure. it is also wonderful to share thse memories with family and friends.

Completing the book is very individual-focused. It will also help carers and family members understand the history of the “author” and this in turn can improve the type of care they receive.

The company is at present undergoing final development of a similar book for children who are separated from their birth parents – more news about this when we receive it.

There is also a stapled option for care homes which comes in packs of 10 for £24.50.
