leather-bound DOYL Diary - the Ultimate giftDiary of your life - the gift of a lifetime

Diary of Your Life

Diary Of Your Life is a web service that helps you capture the story of someone's life, have it printed, leather-bound and delivered where you want. This keepsake is the perfect gift for a very special occasion.

Each diary has 56 colour pages, which are organised in 7 sequential chapters of 6 pages each, plus a dedication page and some pages with a brief message from each contributor. We are very proud of the quality of our products: We only use the highest quality 200gr paper, which is hand-bound by our expert team into fine leather covers that are sourced from Aspinals of London. Each diary comes in a luxury black presentation box with internal satin lining.

Our website was designed for people that have a good story to tell but not much time to invest on it (nor great graphic design skills). It allows you to gather pictures and stories from your friends and enables you to draw these together using easy-to-use design templates. Our aim is to enable you to create your diary quickly. When you tell us you are ready, we will send your diary to our craftsmen in London, who will print it, hand bind it, pack it in a beautiful presentation box and deliver it to the address you require. This process takes around three weeks.

The price of a diary is £250. Additional charges are added for optional features (e.g. a personalised cover text or additional copies).

It’s a truly stunning and luxurious gift: a unique collection of images, recollections and thoughts from family, friends or colleagues.

With Diary of Your Life, quality oozes from every page: it’s a unique, personalised gift that brings the story of your friend or loved one alive. It’s ideal for men or women; for an anniversary… an engagement… a wedding. It’s something that will be treasured forever.

It really is the ultimate gift for someone who deserves something very special – something they will never forget.

Special presentation

We then print your unique diary, hand-stitch the pages and bind them in the high quality leather cover of your choice. We also offer options to personalise the diary, with the recipient’s name in Gold Block, or to request additional copies. We place it into a luxurious, high quality box, which is then packed for shipping and despatched by courier. It can be sent either directly to the recipient or to you (so that you can carry out the presentation in true Michael Aspel style!). Either way, they will be able to see for themselves the genuine love, care and affection that has gone into this very special gift.
