Keepsake is a book for parents and caregivers about creating simple traditions and tangible keepsakes that build a legacy of love and meaning.When their son Teddy was born 11 weeks early and later underwent open-heart surgery, authors Morgan Meredith and Mikel Gellatly found themselves clinging to the small things that gave shape and meaning to each day. A journal entry. A letter. A bottle saved for the future. A ritual repeated around the dinner table. Out of those moments came a way of living with intention - and the idea for this book.Each chapter shares one idea you can start in your own family. Some are physical keepsakes you can hold, like a first-year scrapbook, a recipe book, or a whisky collection that grows with your child. Others are traditions and rituals that weave memory into daily life: writing a birthday letter each year, creating a gratitude habit around the table, or building weekly rhythms like Sunday walks or Saturday mornings at the markets. There are also chapters on setting up long-term investments, like an ETF, as a financial legacy.This is not a manual or a checklist. It’s not about Pinterest-perfect projects or performative parenting. It’s a menu of options - things that cost little more than a few minutes, others that are long-term acts of care - that any parent can adapt to their own family. The common thread is intention: noticing moments before they pass, and choosing to mark them in ways that matter.Keepsake is part memoir, part guide, and part invitation. It’s written in a plain-spoken, relatable style, with personal anecdotes and practical ideas. Whether you’re a new parent, expecting, or looking for a meaningful gift, this book offers simple, enduring ways to create a family culture of love, memory, and connection - one keepsake at a time.
