First birthday gift

A first birthday gift that keeps the first year from disappearing.

Our Fable turns a first birthday into the beginning of a private family record — what the child was like, who loved them, and what everyone wanted them to know someday.

For parents, grandparents, godparents, aunts, uncles, and friends marking the first year.

§ At a glanceWhat you are giving
$12/mo or $99/yr
01

A private child archive

Letters, voice notes, photos, and videos gathered for the child to open later.

02

Parents stay in control

The family redeems the gift, chooses the circle, and decides what opens at each milestone.

03

No app for contributors

Grandparents, godparents, relatives, and friends can contribute from a private link.

§ 01Why the first birthday matters

The first year is full of details that vanish quickly.

01

It captures who the child is right now

The small habits, favorite sounds, family jokes, and first-year details are easiest to preserve while everyone still remembers them.

02

It invites the whole circle in

Grandparents, relatives, godparents, and close friends can each leave a different angle on the same child.

03

It can become an annual rhythm

Our Fable keeps asking over time, so the first birthday can be the start of a longer archive instead of a one-day project.

§ 02How it works

Give it once. The family builds it over time.

§ 01

Give it around the birthday

Send a gift code by email with a note for the parents.

§ 02

Parents build the circle

They invite the people whose memories and messages should be part of the child’s record.

§ 03

Milestones give it shape

The archive stays private and opens later at the ages or exact dates the parents choose.
