Baby Shower Gift for Mom-to-Be | Baby's 1st Year Journal Capsule

Why the Journal Capsule Is the Perfect Way to Capture Your Baby’s First Year

There’s nothing quite like the first year with your baby. The tiny smiles that turn into giggles, the wobbly first steps, the sleepy afternoons curled up in your arms. Those days fly by so fast, and before you know it, months feel like moments. That’s exactly why the Journal Capsule was created: to help you capture all those precious memories, big and small, without the overwhelm.


Simple. Beautiful. Truly Yours.

The Journal Capsule is more than a memory keeper, it’s an all-in-one memory keeping kit that combines a scrapbook-style journal and a keepsake box so you can collect everyday moments and tangible treasures in one place. From milestones like “first laugh” to simple everyday delights like that sleepy morning cuddle, it gives you space to capture it all, without hours of crafting or online design tools. 

Inside the kit you’ll find:

  • beautiful, undated memory-keeping journal with flexible, signature layouts that let you record daily special moments. Just a line or two a day fills the journal.
  • Heavy-weight envelopes and a drawstring bag for keepsakes like ultrasound photos, baby’s first booties, tiny hospital bracelets, etc.
  • keepsake box to store it all together for years to come. 

That means you don’t need bins of stuff or to be left with a drawer filled with items you wish was preserved safely. Everything fits neatly into your capsule and is a true time capsule of love. 

Why It Works So Well for Your Baby’s First Year

It’s Easy - Really!

You don’t need to be a scrapbook expert or set aside big blocks of creative time. The Journal Capsule’s layouts are thoughtfully designed so that writing one memory a day (or a few) feels meaningful, without being overwhelming. You can write in bed, during nap time, or even while baby naps on your chest! 

Because the journal is undated, you can start anytime making it perfect for new parents who want to dive in right away, even if they missed a few early days. 

It Makes Adding Photos a Breeze

Getting photos into a journal doesn’t have to feel intimidating. Whether you choose prints from your phone, a handheld photo printer, or instant camera snapshots, the pages are designed to beautifully showcase your favourite images alongside your memories.

No more scrolling endlessly through camera rolls at the end of the year trying to remember what happened when. Instead with the Journal Capsule, everything is captured as it unfolds. 

Keepsakes Find a Loving Home

Little treasures, like hospital bracelets, first booties, birthday cards, and ultrasound pictures - deserve a special place too. That’s why the capsule box includes envelopes and a drawstring bag just for these keepsakes. When the year is done, everything lives together in one beautiful, organized box.

It Becomes a Treasured Heirloom

Handwriting, photos, and keepsakes: when they live together in a beautifully designed capsule, they become something your child will treasure when they're grow up. It’s more than documentation; it’s a love letter to your family’s journey.

Quick, Meaningful Moments That Last Forever

Some days are long but the years are short. The Journal Capsule meets you right where you are - busy, joyful, tired, elated - and gives you a gentle, beautiful way to capture that season without pressure. A few lines here, a couple of photos there, and a box full of keepsakes becomes a story of your baby’s first year all written with love.
