The first year passes in a blur of feeds, firsts and photos you mean to print. The First Year of You baby journal by Write To Me gives it one considered home: a guided linen memory book for the words and pictures, presented in a matching linen box that keeps it protected on the shelf for years to come.

The journal begins before birth and walks through the first twelve months, with prompts for monthly milestones, holidays, first steps and the first birthday, alongside free pages for the ordinary days in between. Photo spaces run throughout, and the flat-lay binding means it stays open while you write.

What is the box for?

The matching linen box is made to store and protect the journal, so the finished book stays clean and intact long after the first year. It also makes the whole thing feel like a proper gift the moment it is handed over.

How is this different from the Birth to Five Years journal?

This journal covers the first year in depth and comes boxed. If you would rather record a longer stretch of time, the Baby Memory Journal, Birth to Five Years continues through to age five. For a dedicated pregnancy record, pair it with the Bump pregnancy journal so the story runs from the first news right through to the first birthday.

Why You'll Love It

  • Guided prompts that make the first year easy to record, even on no sleep
  • A matching linen box that protects the journal for years to come
  • Gender-neutral wording for baby and parents
  • Lays flat for easy writing
  • A gift with real presence for a baby shower or new arrival

Gifting Tips

Boxed and linen-bound, it needs little more than a ribbon. It suits a baby shower, a first visit to meet a newborn or a gift from grandparents, and is one of the more substantial options among our gifts under $100.

Where It Lives Best

Keep the box on a nursery shelf or a chest of drawers where it is within reach, with a small framed photo beside it. The oatmeal linen suits calm, pared-back nurseries and reads as considered rather than nursery-themed, so it still looks right when the room grows up.
