What is Life Letters?
Not a card. Not a photo book. Something irreplaceable.
Most parents mean to write it down. The journal started in pregnancy, the letters started and never finished, the scrapbook half-finished in a drawer somewhere. Life gets in the way. The words stay unwritten.
Life Letters changes that. Six deeply personal letters, written in your voice, shaped by your memories and your hopes, sitting in a beautiful gift box, waiting to be opened at the moments that matter most.
Your child's 18th birthday. The day they leave home. Their wedding day. The letters will be there when you might not be able to be. They'll carry your words exactly as you meant them.
We believe the most powerful gift you can give your child is your words, preserved and waiting for the moments that matter most.
How It Works
Three steps. A lifetime of meaning.
The six milestones.
Your words, waiting for the right moment.

The first letter
Their 18th birthday
"I want to tell you about my own eighteenth. A night in Manchester with my closest friends, just music and laughter and being completely in the moment. What I didn't realise then was how rare that feeling is, and how worth chasing it always will be. I hope today has some of that for you, Reiva."

The second letter
When they leave home
"When Dad and I moved into our first home there was so much to fix, so much to do. We chipped away at it bit by bit until one day it just felt like ours. That's what I want for you. Not a perfect space, just somewhere that eventually feels like yours."

The third letter
On their wedding day.
"Your mum moved to Newcastle and I remember feeling desperate to go and see her. When I got there something happened I hadn't expected. I didn't want to leave. Not the city. Her. That quiet, certain pull toward someone. That's what I hope you have found."

The fourth letter
When they lose a loved one
"When I lost my grandparents I was heartbroken for myself, but also watching my mum go through it alongside me. What I learned is that they don't really leave. They live in the things they taught you. Hold onto those. They're yours forever."

The fifth letter
On their 30th birthday
"Dad had been keeping a secret. Which if you know your dad, you'll know he doesn't manage quietly. He surprised me with Disneyland Paris for my thirtieth. I was thirty and absolutely delighted to be on a rollercoaster. That's exactly how I hope thirty feels for you."

The sixth letter
When they become a parent
"I still remember how it felt when I found out you were coming. Excited beyond anything I could put into words. But also nervous. Both things completely tangled up together, and neither one cancelling the other out."
"I was gifted this at my baby shower and didn't know what to expect. The letters are perfect, I can't wait for him to read them"
Megan Grant
"I started a few baby journals and similar things but I've never finished them. I love how baby Remi will be able to read these throughout her life!"
Zayra Idaly Costa
"The questionnaire was really straight forward and the letters are so well written. I can't wait for my son to read them when he's older!"
Abbi Davis
