The Book That Changed How We Share Memories
What started as a simple gift for our 92-year-old grandmother turned into a product featured on the TODAY Show, Good Morning America, CBS News, QVC, and in the hands of tens of thousands of families across the country.
So what is a video book—and why is it showing up on nightstands, coffee tables, and national TV?
What’s a Video Book?
A Heirloom Video Book looks like a hardcover photo album. But when you open it, it automatically plays your chosen videos and photos—no apps, no Wi-Fi, no tech hurdles. Just instant playback of the moments that matter most.
It’s more than a book. It’s a time capsule.
- Choose from 5” or 7” HD screens
- Load up to 1 hour of media
- Add a custom cover and message
- Use it again and again
Whether you're celebrating a wedding, remembering a loved one, or saying “I miss you” from miles away—Heirloom gives you a tangible way to keep those moments close.
Why We Created Heirloom
At the height of the pandemic, my brother Zack and I realized our grandma couldn’t stream videos or browse social media. So we built her something she could use: a simple book that played video when opened.
Her joy—and her tears—showed us we had something meaningful.
Today, our mission is the same: to help people stay connected through thoughtful, physical storytelling.
We believe:
- Technology should feel human
- Gifts should feel personal
- Memories should be seen and heard—not just stored
From Family Keepsake to National Recognition
Since that first video book, we’ve made some big moves:
- Launched our website and custom builder
- Appeared on The TODAY Show, GMA, QVC, and CBS News
- Partnered with Walmart, Kohl’s, The Paper Store, and Shutterfly
- Sold over $1 million in video books
- Introduced vertical video formats, custom covers, and DIY kits
- Expanded into corporate gifts and B2B video books
We even developed our own software and internal fulfillment system to scale fast and stay personal. Every book is still built with care—just like the first one.
Why People Love Their Video Books
We get stories every day from customers who’ve used Heirloom to:
- Celebrate a wedding anniversary with a surprise video montage
- Send a grandparent their grandchild’s first steps
- Preserve a memorial service for future generations
- Share a company’s story with clients and employees
One customer wrote:
"My son died earlier this year, so it was important to be able to share these gifts on Christmas. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
Another said:
"My granddaughters were mesmerized. I’m not tech-savvy—and this was so easy."
That’s why we do what we do.
What’s Next for Heirloom
We’re building new tools, new designs, and new partnerships to bring video books to even more families and businesses.
We now offer:
- Retail-ready DIY kits
- Video books for business (sales, onboarding, client gifts)
- Partnerships with brands like Shutterfly
Our goal? To make Heirloom the most thoughtful, customizable, and heartfelt gift you can give—whether it’s personal or professional.
