🎁THE GIFT:

The “digitize home videos" Gift

🌮WHY THIS GIFT IS GREAT:

• Gift for the entire family

• Preserves priceless history

• Allows for reminiscing and reconnecting

💡TIPS FOR YOUR GIFT:

• Great group gift potential

• Also works for digitizing old photos

• Also a great birthday or anniversary gift

• To be safe, get going in Oct for Dec delivery

• Review & categorize before sending to a third-party to digitize

• Start a group text for people to use as they individually watch

• Don’t wait another year. Sadly, me-maw isn’t going to be around forever

• Local shops might be less likely to lose your contents and often have shorter turnaround times (vs online services).

Helpful links: iMemories (used by Walgreens) and LegacyBox are two of the established online services. You can DIY with a VCR + these devices + zen-like patience
