The Story Shop™
Keep the thing. Preserve the story.
Send a photo and a two-minute voice note. We turn the meaning behind an ordinary object into a beautiful physical keepsake you can scan, hear and pass down.
Your object never leaves your hands. StoryTag™ starts at $39.
A voice, still here
Scan the finished card to hear the original recording.
Our founder promises
Memory preservation, without surrendering the memory.
The object stays with you.
We only need a clear photograph, a name or date, and your voice note.
Your voice remains your voice.
Editing brings clarity to the written story; the recording preserves the real person behind it.
Made for keeping, not clutter.
Archival print, thoughtful layout and a discreet scan point—produced on demand.
One object. One voice. One lasting story.
From “don’t throw that away” to family history.
Recipe card, hammer, first shoe, ticket stub or famously indestructible casserole dish—the value is not the object. It is what happened around it.

Made to mean more
“It was never just an old bowl.”
Give the story beside the heirloom—at birthdays, weddings, memorials, anniversaries or simply while the person who knows it can still tell it.
What can’t your family throw away?
Ask why. Record the answer. Keep it forever.
Start with one photograph and one honest voice note. We’ll help turn them into the keepsake your family did not know it needed.
