Milestone birthday gift
A gift for a mum or dad turning 70 or 80
70 years of memories, and not a single line written down. A milestone birthday is a good time to start: during the year of Muistola they tell their memories by speaking, and you get to know them in a new way.
Why memories
Why memories suit a milestone birthday
They have everything
When the birthday person already has everything, memories are a gift you can’t buy in a shop. Only they have them.
Milestones invite looking back
A big birthday naturally makes people look back. From there it’s easy to carry on, one question at a time.
The whole family can join
Invite your siblings, and everyone can send their own questions and read the memories.
At the party
How to give the gift
Print the card
The card arrives in your email right after payment. Print it on A4, fold it in half and write a greeting.
Read the first question out loud
For example: “What do you remember about the day you turned 20?” The conversation can start right at the party table.
Start when it suits
The year of Muistola starts only when the gift is taken into use. There’s no hurry.
Questions and answers
Before you buy
Does it suit someone turning 60, 75 or 90 too?
Yes. Muistola’s questions suit any age, and the storyteller answers at their own pace.
What does the birthday person need?
A phone, tablet or computer with a microphone. They don’t need an email address or a password: they join with a six-digit code from the family.
Does the gift continue automatically?
No. The gift card doesn’t continue automatically. When the year ends, the family can order another year or take a break, and the memories gathered so far can still be read and listened to.
Give memories as a gift
A year of Muistola as a gift card, €59. The card is valid for a year from purchase, and the year starts when the gift is taken into use.
