Buyer's Question: Can I Get a Big Memory Box for Large Items Like Photo Albums and A4 Documents?
Hi Thalia,
I’ve been looking everywhere for a memory box, but I’m struggling to find one big enough for what I need. I want to store larger keepsakes like photo albums, family documents, souvenirs, and maybe even some of my children’s artwork.
I’ve got a few A4-sized certificates from my wedding and kids’ milestones, along with some baby blankets and toys I can’t bear to part with. I don’t want to keep these scattered across drawers and cupboards anymore—it’s just too chaotic. I need something that’s not only big enough to fit these items but also sturdy and beautiful so I can display it at home. Can you help me find the perfect solution?
