A baby shower gift

Give them something the first year cannot use up.

They probably already have everything the first year needs. This is not one of those things. It is where the family keeps the sound of them: first words, the little laugh, a voicemail from Grandma, and the messages Mom and Dad leave for their child to open one day.

  • $99 once
  • Lifetime access
  • iPhone and Android

One payment. It never renews, the code never expires, and unopened gifts are refundable in full for 30 days.

What you are actually giving

You are giving a family a private place to keep their child's voice, and a way to leave that child messages to open one day.

It is not a thing for the nursery. It is where a mom records the made-up word for water, the one that only lasts a season. Where a grandfather leaves a voicemail from his own kitchen. Where parents keep the child's laugh and leave messages for the day their child opens the capsule. Photos, short videos and written notes can sit beside the voices. Nothing counts down.

Who built it

Built by a mom and dad who did not want to forget how quickly their daughter's little voice changes.

Most gifts help with the first year. This one keeps it.

Almost everything on the gift table is for the first year, and the first year needs all of it. Tiny Treasures is for the years after it. It keeps what that first year sounded like, so the parents can hear it again whenever they want.

Everything on that table earns its place. This one just does a different job.

Clothes, blankets and practical first-year things. Useful now, and meant to be used or outgrown.
Tiny Treasures keeps what that first year sounded like after those things have done their job.
A memory book or baby journal. A lovely place for the story in writing.
You talk into Tiny Treasures, a few seconds at a time, usually while the thing is still happening.
A newborn photo session. It keeps the face, which is worth having.
Tiny Treasures keeps the sound beside it: first words, laughter and ordinary conversations.

There is something to hand over

A shower is a room where things get opened in front of people. Your receipt email carries a link to a printable card with the gift code and the note you wrote on it, so you can print it at home, put it in an envelope, and hand it over the way you would anything else on the table. They read your note first.

If you would rather it simply arrive, have it emailed to them the moment you pay instead. Nothing ships either way, so there is no delivery date to plan around and nothing that can turn up late.

What ends up in a capsule

Voice first, and then everything that belongs beside it: photos, short videos, and written notes. None of it has to be a big moment. An ordinary Tuesday is the point, and nothing has to be said well. These are the small things that end up in one.

  • First words. The made-up ones too, kept in the way they actually said them, not the way they will say them later.
  • The little laugh. The one that changes before anyone notices it has changed.
  • A grandparent’s voicemail. Left from their own phone, in their own kitchen, with no app to install and nothing to sign up for.
  • A message from Mom and Dad. Sealed, and opened on the day their child opens the capsule. Whoever records it decides whether the rest of the family may hear it before then.

Everyone at the shower can end up in it too

The parents can invite anyone they like, and with the gift on their account, the people they invite to leave messages never pay and never see a price.

Invited family get a phone number for the child. They call it or text it from whatever phone they already have, and the voicemail, photo, or note lands in the capsule. No app, no account, no App Store. It is how a grandparent who does not want another app still gets to be in it. The number is there from the start for a first and a second child; for a third or later we set one up when asked.

If the baby has not arrived yet

A capsule can be started before the baby is born, so a gift opened at a shower can be used that same week.

Parents can leave messages all the way through the pregnancy, and once they invite people, so can everyone else. Until then, an expecting capsule is private to the parent and cannot announce a pregnancy on anyone's behalf.

What you are not signing them up for

You are not handing them a task. There is nothing to keep up with, no streaks, and no way to fall behind. If they record nothing for a month, nothing happens, and everything already in there is waiting whenever they come back to it.

Nothing is transcribed, analyzed or turned into a voiceprint. There is no bill after yours, and recordings can be exported as one audio file, free and offline, whenever the family wants them.

Questions people ask

Is this a good baby shower gift if the parents already have everything on their registry?

Yes. A registry is a list of things the first year needs, and this is not one of those things. It is where the family keeps the child’s voice, the photos, and the messages they leave for that child to open one day. It does not take up a shelf and it does not get grown out of. If someone else has already given one, an unopened gift is refundable in full for 30 days.

Am I giving them a subscription they will have to keep paying for?

No. A gift is a single payment of $99 and it never renews. There is no card kept on file for the family and nothing for them to cancel. Once the gift is on their account, nobody they invite is ever asked to pay, and nobody they invite ever sees a price.

Is there anything to hand over at the shower?

Yes. Your receipt email carries a link to a printable card with the gift code and the note you wrote, so you can print it at home and hand it over the way you would any other gift. If you would rather it simply arrive, you can have it emailed to them the moment you pay instead. Nothing ships, so there is no delivery date to plan around.

The baby is already here. Is a gift like this still worth giving?

Yes, and arguably more so, because there is already a voice to keep. The first words and the laugh are ahead of them either way. The code does not expire, so it can wait until the family is ready for it, there is nothing to set up in advance, and nothing has to be done by a certain day.

Who decides who gets to be part of it?

The parents, entirely. They invite whoever they want, one person or the whole family, and nobody is added by anyone else. Giving the gift does not give you access to it: unless the parents invite you in, what is inside stays theirs.
