“Every year I struggle to choose a Christmas present for my 94 year old grandmother. What do you buy a dementia sufferer who doesn't really need anything in particular and may take one look at the present and set it aside never to look at it again? It was then that I discovered your website and decided to buy my lovely nan your 'Decades Reminiscence Book'. The book itself is full of lots of lovely bright pictures and clear writing, depicting various prominent moments and figures dating back to the 1940s. It's safe to say that my nan loves the book and wouldn't put it down the while time I was there. She didn't require any prompting to discuss the pictures and it was lovely to hear her actually talking about her own memories - something which I haven't seen and heard for a very long time. I'm not ashamed to say that it brought a tear to my eye. Thank you.”

Hi Katie. We're sorry to hear that you're disappointed with your Decades Reminiscence Book. I would just like to start by saying that we'd be more than happy to offer you a free returns label, should you wish to return the book to us for a refund. The book is a new addition to our range, we have had some feedback that the book is more simplistic and basic than customers originally thought. We have added this information to the product page for all books in this range. We'll also look to add some additional photos of internal pages in the near future. This should provide customers with much more information on the content of the book, prior to purchase. Thanks for your understanding Katie, and please do not hesitate to get in touch if there's anything else we can help you with.
