My Life Story

How we spend our days is how we spend our lives. And that's why it's worth keeping track of those special moments that…hold on, this is starting to sound like some cliché-ridden daytime TV ad. And that simply won't do because My Life Story is one of the most innovative baby gifts we've ever seen. Brought to you by those funky creatives over at Suck UK, My Life Story is basically a bumper 100 year diary in which to record the events of a lifetime; a kind of journal, photo album, autobiography and travelogue all rolled into one.

A perfect pressie for newborn babies, parents can cram this luxe tome with various stories, photos and achievements, from a description of baby's first tentative steps and gurglings to an account of their first few days at nursery.

As baby grows up, he/she can start filling in the pages with…well, with anything they fancy: skills acquired, best friends made and binned, great days, crummy days, favourite movies, first kiss, worst kiss, life-changing gigs, silly pics, locks of hair, restaurant flyers, ambitions, things to do, aimless scribblings - the possibilities are endless. Besides, it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years.

My Life Story also features a map of the world, so owners can tick off countries visited, favourite cities, oceans swum and wannago destinations. After all, life is a journey, blah, blah, blah. As well as a geographical map there's also a chart of the body. Use it to log the location of scars, ever-increasing waistlines, favourite bits of the bod - whatever. You can even doodle on a comedy moustache. And that's the beauty of My Life Story - owners can bung whatever they want in it.
Destined to become a prized possession for life, owners will never forget the clever old stick who bought them My Life Story. And that's precisely why you should stop reading this and start hitting the Buy button. Like they say, life is what happens while you're busy making other plans.
