What are the next steps once I’ve gifted a Meminto book?

Here you’ll find the next steps based on the options you chose when gifting Meminto.

About orders with an e-card sent on a specific date

If you buy a Meminto Stories book for someone else and schedule the e-card for a set date, the recipient will receive an email with your selected e-card and the activation code that day. With this code, they can create or access their Meminto account and start their Memory book project by answering guided questions. As the gift giver, you don’t need to forward anything manually; the system handles the scheduled delivery.

Next steps:

You’ll receive an order confirmation email with important details.
The recipient waits for the e-card on the scheduled date.
When they receive it, they register and start creating their book online.

About orders with a printable, foldable gift card

If you ordered the Meminto book with a printable gift card, you’ll get a download link for the selected card. The PDF may include several designs so you can pick the best one for your purpose. Print the card at home and fold it to present as a physical gift. Instructions explain how to fold it. Simply write the activation code on the card. The recipient uses this code to create their Meminto account or log in and start their book project. You’ll find the activation code in the order confirmation and receipt email. Check your spam or junk folder if you don’t see it. Contact support if the email hasn’t arrived after 60 minutes.

Next steps:

Print the card, write the activation code on it, and hand it over personally.
The recipient redeems the code at memin.to/register to start their book.
They’ll receive weekly emails with questions that help build their book if this was set in the short interview process. If they have the Meminto app, questions can also be sent via push notifications to their smartphone and answered directly there.

Here are the links again to the currently available gift cards:

What the recipient receives in any case

An activation code with a redemption link that unlocks Meminto platform access.
Personalized storytelling questions, sent weekly via email if chosen.
Digital tools to write, record voice, or use other media to capture their story.
A printed hardcover book created based on their content.

Account creation and participant settings

The recipient can create their own Meminto account using the activation code found on the e-Card or printed card.
If you think the recipient might need help, you can create the book project for them in advance. Just use the link in the email with your order confirmation. You will then be listed as an "assistant" in the book and can help fill and complete it.
