A gift to preserve memories
Gift no. 1

Their own Spoken Biography with Jubilae

With Jubilae, your loved one opens the app on a phone or tablet and talks to Clara about their life. Book-making conversations become a digital PDF book (printed depending on the plan) and downloadable original recordings; audiobook depending on the plan.

  • An elegant book the family will keep for generations.
  • Phone or tablet with internet: open the app, press and talk.
  • Family can help with questions and review the chapters.

Other elegant gifts they'll love

#2

A family digital photo frame

A frame that automatically receives new photos from the whole family. Ideal for watching grandchildren grow each week, even from afar. Lovely, but it preserves images, not stories.

From €89

#3

A relaxing experience getaway

A charming weekend: a spa, a historic town or a countryside hotel with great food. A beautiful but fleeting memory: the weekend ends, leaving photos.

From €150

#4

A traditional cooking workshop

A day to learn (or teach!) traditional recipes: cannelloni, tomato bread and Catalan custard. Great fun for someone who enjoys cooking and sharing with family.

From €60

#5

A family genealogy album

A family tree with photos, dates and old documents, arranged in an elegant album. A tribute to ancestors that beautifully complements spoken memories.

From €45

Perfect Gift Finder

Answer two questions and we'll suggest the Jubilae plan that suits your family best.

1. What occasion are you celebrating?

2. What is your loved one like?

Which book format would you like to give?

Every plan includes the PDF and original recordings. The printed format and audiobook depend on the plan; add-ons are purchased separately.

How to choose a gift for a grandparent or retirement

Consider their interests, how much time they want to spend and whether they prefer a digital keepsake or a book to leaf through. A spoken biography suits someone who wants to share their life; they don't have to tell everything at once.

Questions to start preserving your grandparents' memories

Start with a specific memory, listen without interrupting and let them choose what to share. The family can select questions in the Portal; Clara brings them up when they fit the conversation.

  • What was the house you grew up in like?
  • Who had the biggest influence on you as a child?
  • What do you remember about your first day at work?
  • Which family tradition would you like us to keep?

What if my grandparent isn't comfortable with technology?

They need a phone or tablet with internet and a microphone. Family can help open /senior, enter the 6-digit code and allow microphone access. Then they just press the button and talk. This is not a call to a landline.

Which conversations are saved?

Book-making conversations are saved to write chapters and preserve recordings. Free-form Conversation Mode chats are not saved, except for a specific memory the person asks to add to their book.
