FAVOURITE SONG   |   VOICE MESSAGE   |   PERSONALISED POEM

Care Home Gift with Audio

Our Snapshot Photo Cubes bring comfort to people in care or in hospital by adding the sound of your voice or music. Our cubes are especially helpful during times when you can't be there in person.

Add a comforting message of reassurance, the voice of a grandchild, or express heartfelt feelings of a treasured memory to create a lasting gift that’s guaranteed to make someone feel special in moments of loneliness, confusion or anxiety.  Our boxes can also be helpful for carers as a support tool.

These bespoke gifts are handcrafted with the utmost attention to detail that makes them truly one-of-a-kind and personalised for the recipient.

Also helpful for people with dementia and Alzheimers as a way to support well-being by reducing anxiety and confusion using a familiar voice.

Snapshot Box

Finding the right gift for someone in a care home, hospital, or living with dementia or Alzheimer’s can be difficult. Our audio memory boxes are designed to bring comfort and connection by pairing a favourite photo with a personal voice message or piece of music. They make thoughtful welcome gifts for new residents, provide reassurance for older people in care, and offer a way to bring familiar voices into hospital settings where comfort matters most. A personalised photo frame with sound can become a source of joy, calm, and a lasting reminder that loved ones are always close by.

ABOUT US

Hi!  I'm John and I'm based here in Suffolk (UK).  I am passionate about helping people to record, preserve and celebrate their life stories. Since 2015, I have helped people of all ages to record their personal stories. I believe that our voice is a unique and special part of who we are and therefore recording voices is an important part of preserving life memories.  

My company, Chronicle, has been working in the UK since 2015, but our history goes back much further.  We have worked with countless people from all walks of life and of all ages to help preserve their stories and memories (our oldest participant was 101).  We also work with respected organisations such as the Suffolk Archives, local museums, and BT on story based community projects.  

The idea for the Snapshot Memory Box arose as I continually explored new ways to allow people to preserve and enjoy their stories in a simple way.   Every Box is thoughtfully designed and carefully crafted to combine tradition with innovation. Rooted in a respect for memory-keeping, my work blends the artistry of personalised design with high quality audio technology, creating pieces that are both meaningful and enduring. From weddings and anniversaries to remembrance and legacy gifts, each box is made to last as a keepsake. Our story continues to grow internationally, but our values remain the same: craftsmanship, care, and the belief that voices and memories deserve to be preserved beautifully.

We are based in the UK.

Our audio memory frames make meaningful gifts for every occasion — from a traditional 5th wedding anniversary wood gift to a thoughtful present for grandparents, friends, or colleagues. They can be used as talking photo frames or interactive picture frames with sound, allowing you to preserve voicemails, record personal messages, or add music to a favourite photo. Families often choose them as bereavement or memorial keepsakes, dementia support gifts, or ways to bring comfort in care homes and hospitals. They’re also perfect as corporate gifts with sound or even as museum and exhibition audio displays. Whatever the occasion, an audio picture frame offers a unique way to capture voices, memories, and moments that last a lifetime.
