You are the author of your own life story. Carry the mementos and memories of the story you have already written or celebrate the beginning of a loved one’s new chapter with this customizable keepsake box. Personalize it with a name, date, location, or phrase and fill it with the pieces of your unique story.

Ideal for weddings, anniversaries, or any milestone occasion, these customizable keepsakes are impeccably constructed from your choice of light and airy Poplar/Maple wood or deep and rich Walnut. Engraved to perfection, this keepsake is not meant to hide in the back of a closet. This makes an elegant, thoughtful gift for the ones you love or for a personalized, special space to keep your prized mementos.

Due to the natural variation in wood, each box is unique and will vary in color and grain pattern. Each customized keepsake box is carefully constructed with certified sustainable American hardwoods and features a sliding lid with grooved handle and hidden magnetic closure. We laser cut and hand stain each keepsake box one at a time in our sunny Los Angeles studio to ensure that the beauty of the design lasts a lifetime. It is as beautiful and memorable as the memories it is meant to hold.

Note: We will capitalize letters according to the examples shown, i.e., if a line of text is all uppercase in the design and examples, we will engrave in all uppercase letters regardless of how you enter your information. All other text will be engraved exactly as you enter it, e.g., "&" vs. "and".
