A Wedding Anniversary Gift That Preserves His Parents’ Memories Forever | David’s Remento Story

When David started searching for a meaningful anniversary gift for his parents, he knew he wanted something that wouldn’t end up in a drawer like most anniversary gifts do. He wanted a way to preserve their stories in their own voice and presence, not just written down, but captured through real video and audio recordings the family can revisit forever. That search led him to Remento, a memory-preservation experience that turns recorded stories into a printed book filled with written stories, photos and scannable QR codes that link back to the original recordings.

How One Remento Gift Turned Into a Way to Preserve Family Memories

David didn’t want another object to wrap, store, or forget. He wanted a gift that could hold meaning long after the celebration of her parents' anniversary was over, something his parents would enjoy creating, and something the entire family could keep. He found Remento, the perfect way for his parents to preserve their memories. On their anniversary, it became the gift they’ll cherish forever.

“My parents like Remento and that’s all that really matters to me. They've enjoyed doing it ever since that first recording they did on their anniversary, and it makes me happy.”

With Remento, his parents receive thoughtful prompts by email or text and can respond using either video or audio, right from the device they already use. No passwords, no installs, just a gift that works the moment they’re ready to tell their story. Every recording becomes a written story automatically, waiting to be collected into a keepsake book the entire family can hold, read, and revisit.

The Straightforward Process That Got David’s Parents Recording Stories on Remento

Once the first prompt was answered, the stories kept coming. Some were light and nostalgic. Others were emotional and completely unexpected. All of them were now saved, not in memory, but in Remento.

“It’s a great way to have an audio, a video, a printed version of who they are and what they mean to us.”

Remento makes storytelling feel natural. Prompts can come from Remento’s expert-curated questions, personalized prompts tailored to the storyteller’s background, or custom prompts written by loved ones. Collaborators can be added to the project to submit new questions and receive notifications whenever a new story is recorded. And because Remento’s Speech-to-Story technology turns every recording into chapters automatically, no one has to type, journal, or write anything down.

From Story Recordings to a Printed Remento Book with QR Codes

What began as a digital experience gradually transformed into something lasting, a printed Remento book filled with photos, written stories, and scannable QR codes that link back to every original video or audio recording. The family doesn’t just read the stories, they can see the expressions, hear the voice, catch the pauses and the laughter, the way a memory truly felt in real life.

“It’s money well spent. No regrets. I’d do it again. My parents look forward to it and that makes me happy. That’s half the gift right there.”

It reflects the same idea shared in the March webinar highlights’ blog on the power of storytelling, where stories are described as something that can strengthen bonds, span generations, and offer families more than memories, they become a living legacy that can be replayed, shared, and passed on.
