Pick of the Week: Recordable Memory Album
July 15th, 2011
At Hallmark, life really is a special occasion, and they certainly know how to preserve memories the right way. We all know how important photo albums are for remembering and revisiting important moments in our lives such as birthday parties, school plays, family vacations and summer camp. But what if you could take those plain old photo albums and kick them up a notch by adding personal audio messages to them?
With Hallmark’s new Recordable Memory Album, not only do you get the great visual memories, but you also get just a little bit more. You can actually hear about what was happening at those very special moments in time. You can hear about what your daughter’s favourite class trip was, and you can hear about how your son was feeling on that first day of Grade 1, in his own words. You can hear your daughter gush about her very best friend in the whole world and you can listen to your son describe what it feels like to be turning five.
It’s such an innovative and great way to create, connect and celebrate with the important people in your lives.
The Recordable Memory Album lets you record a personal message of up to 60 seconds for each two-page spread. Albums feature designed end liners, a dedication page and 10 pages with die-cut frame pockets to hold 10 4×6 photos. A lock feature keeps your recordings safe, regardless of battery life. Three replaceable AAA batteries are included.

Disney world for sure !
Our family trip last year to Ontario, for sure. It was our first family vacation, and my daughter was finally able to meet her paternal grandfather. :)
I LOVE “staycations” because we get some real quality family time in! Plus we always discover something new together! I live in Ontario just south of Barrie so there is lots of things around and mostly within a couple hours drive!!
My favourite summer vacation memory is spending time at a cottage every summer going water tubing!
Favourite summer vacation is when we travelled to the Manitoulin Island, fishing, canoeing and relaxing, the family loved it.
My family always drove to Niagara Falls every Summer for a little vacation. We never had enough money to fly anywhere so Niagara Falls was a huge deal for me and my little sister. I remember one trip we were walking along the Falls and I found $20! For a little kid to find $20, I was in HEAVEN! That was more than 25 years ago and I still remember that day.
My favorite mini vacation memory was last year on a trip to Niagara falls. It was great my little one met pink panther and loved the rainforest cafe. I can’t wait to take her again this year!
My favourite memories are of camping with family and friends. Just playing at the beach, eating ice cream, sitting around campfires!
One year when I was 13 we rented a RV and travelled across Canada.
My best summer holiday memory was made in August 2008 when my boyfriend and I travelled to my families favourite lake in B.C. where when on a day trip to Lake Osoyoos…my boyfriend proposed marriage!! We are now married with a 10mth old son! Thanks for the contest!
When I was a kid I loved going to my grandparents farm and spending time with them.
Every summer we would rent a cottage and have all the family come and visit. Great memories!!!
