1st Anniversary

cwodavids

I have thought of a great gift idea to give my wife for our anniversary but don't know where to find a manufacturer. I want to give her a leather bound memory book that we can put pictures from the last year in. I would also like each year to have a few questions such as 'What are your hopes and dreams for the next year?' or 'What has been your happiest memory of the last year?'

I would love for my (grand)children to be able to look back at all the memories and thought that their grandparents had over the years.

My problem now though is finding a manufacturer that can make really ornate and special leather bound books. I am looking for something similar to this style not those colours

But based on the contents of this book

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

notonthehighstreet has something similar but it doesnt have the question typed inside. Folksy has lots of different versions but again nothing with the pre printed info inside.

Thanks for the help though it is truly appreciated.

As a comper I came across this site, they have a really friendly facebook and were brilliant at helping me with a bespoke gift.

Well on Folksy you can speak directly with the sellers.. maybe get some quotes for bespoke?

Their stuff is gorgeous.

I got my wedding album from here http://www.centralcrafts.com/

They do some lovely stuff (the leather hand bound journals are fab) and whilst it doesn't have the pre printed questions you could maybe write them in yourself, with little anecdotes or special memories?

One of my most treasured possessions is an album my mum made for me of my first few years - under each photo/memory she has put a little handwritten message (almost like a story). I think your wife will love the idea you have had!
