A Guide to Unwrapping the Past

One such memory, shared by Janine R. on Storyworth’s podcast, beautifully illustrates the depth of reflection these prompts inspire. In response to the question, "How has your life turned out differently than you imagined?", Janine offered listeners a glimpse into her teenage years:

Imagine a year when every week brings a new opportunity to discover more about a loved one's life experiences. Storyworth's weekly prompts do just that, inviting a member of your family to reflect on the experiences that made them who they are. Whether it’s sharing the thrill of their first adventure or the wisdom gained from life challenges, each question opens a door to rich personal narratives. After a year, the stories and photos are meticulously compiled into a hardcover keepsake book, a lasting record to bridge time and distance with the power of shared memories.

It’s nearly the holidays, and you know what that means: shopping for that elusive perfect gift. At its best, the season is a time for reflection, making connections, and storytelling, and the most precious gifts are those that can bring us closer together. This year, the perfect gift is more than just an object. It’s a journey into the past—a deep dive into the history of your family. This is the essence of Storyworth, a gift that starts with a journey and ends with the creation of a family heirloom.

Step 01

Your journey with Storyworth begins with a heartfelt gesture—the gift of a subscription. This simple step unlocks a year-long exploration into the life and memories of someone close to you. The subscription is more than a gift: it’s an invitation to a loved one to unfold their life story, one week at a time—and an exciting way to encourage your family members to recount and preserve the stories that have shaped their lives. It’s no wonder that CNN called Storyworth “the sentimental, feel-good gift to give this year.”

Stories like Janine’s represent the very idea Storyworth is built on: that everyone has a story worth sharing. Read on, and see why Storyworth is one of Wirecutter's 30 Best Gifts for Families.

Step 02

Open a Weekly Window into the Past

Each week, Storyworth prompts your storyteller with thoughtfully crafted questions. From simple queries about favorite childhood memories to more profound questions about life's pivotal moments, these prompts are designed to inspire stories that might have remained untold. Subscribers or their family members have the option to manage a queue of questions chosen from Storyworth’s extensive lists, or craft their own prompts to spark memories. When responding, storytellers have the freedom to change questions, ensuring that each narrative is authentic. Users can even upload photos to go along with their stories!

Some of the most popular questions that resonate with Storyworth members include:

Gift a Year of Memories to a Loved One

What is one of your fondest childhood memories?

Do you remember your first kiss?

What is the furthest you’ve ever traveled?

What were your grandparents like?

Have you ever had a “supernatural” experience, or an experience you can’t explain?

Think of each week’s prompt as a part of a conversation: all your storyteller has to do is respond to the emailed question, and Storyworth will take care of the rest.

Step 03

Curate a Legacy

When your family member responds to Storyworth's weekly prompts, their stories begin to form a collective chronicle—a living document of their life's journey. As the responses are compiled, they can be shared with family members you choose, creating weekly moments of connection and discovery.

User Kathy A., says in her verified review that Storyworth has been a catalyst for conversations with her whole family. She writes, “This has been a lot of fun, reminiscing and sharing experiences from my past with my kids. Even my husband, after 39 years of marriage, is learning a few new things about my past, like the cat my family had when I was little. I think I would like to do this another year.” Kathy refers to another feature of Storyworth: subscribers are welcome to stay subscribed after their initial year, and keep the stories flowing! Sharing these narratives with your loved ones fosters an ongoing dialogue that brings laughter, tears, and everything in between. Storyworth doesn’t just record your family history: it helps you celebrate it, week after week.

Step 04

Craft a Family Heirloom

After a year of storytelling, the magic of Storyworth culminates in the creation of a bespoke hardcover book. Each volume, overflowing with photos and memories, is artfully compiled into a keepsake that's not just a book, but a mosaic of your storyteller’s life. Ultra-high quality printing materials ensure that these stories are preserved in a format that will endure for generations, and the option to customize the book’s cover adds a personal touch, making it a one-of-a-kind heirloom. Another five-star Trust Pilot review comes from Pat B., who writes, “The books arrived individually shrink-wrapped, carefully packaged, and ahead of schedule. They are beautiful, and the option to choose your own questions, title, and cover design makes for a very personalized family legacy. Thank you again for what has turned out to be such a meaningful experience. Looking forward to gifting these over the holidays!”

Storyworth books can be printed in black and white or rich color, and multiple copies can be produced as gifts for family. However you decide to customize your book, one thing is for sure: each volume provides a tangible representation of your loved one’s personal history—and a unique way for future generations to connect with their heritage.

Another satisfied storyteller writes about his experience with Storyworth customer service in glowing terms. Ken K writes, “I just received my Storyworth book and it looks amazing!

Storyworth is built on a foundation of privacy, making sure that the intimacy of these stories is preserved for those who matter most.

Chris and I met while attending the same high school. He was older and we didn’t have any classes together. But I saw him in the halls and developed the biggest crush on him. It was during his senior year talent show that we actually met. He and his friends lip-synced to a song by the Four Tops—“Reach Out”—and I was one of the screaming fans who ran down the aisle and onto the stage."
