Mam, Dad, the grandparents and the friends from school each record a message. The student takes the book to college and the voices on a podcast link.
Gathering is free. You won't need a card.
We are enabling over 1 million people to say it. Share the stories, love and gratitude. Your voice is what makes the world's greatest gift.
Add their name and send the link to the family and their friends from school.
Friends and family can capture a memory by voice, video, writing or photos, wherever they are in the world. It's easy on any phone and nobody needs an account!
We write out every voice note and gather it all into a podcast you can play and a beautiful book you can hold.
Grandparents and the neighbours who've known them since they were small can add a message too.
They're heading to different colleges the same week, and they can record for each other before they go.
They can explain the laundry and tell them where to eat cheap.
Mam, Dad and the younger brother who's getting their room all record. The dog can bark into it too!
Tell them something about home they'll want to hear in October.
"Take a photo of the room when it's unpacked and send it to me. There's a tin of shortbread hidden in the bottom of the blue bag."
"We've done everything together since we were four. Text me after your first lecture."
"Check the tyres before you drive home at Halloween. You can come home any weekend you want."
"I went to Dublin to train as a nurse in 1971 and I cried every night for the first fortnight. Come and see me at Halloween and I'll tell you how I got through it."
Close the book three weeks before they go, and the printed copy can travel in the car.
We gave a book of stories about Mam to her for Christmas and she said it was the best gift she had received. There were some stories she had never heard! She felt really surrounded by love.

Ask everyone to add a photo from home with their message, like the dog asleep on their bed.
Write one practical tip and one thing about home. If you'd rather say it, record it with the Chorus link and it's written out for you in the book.
