A gift you make yourself
A book about the woman you love — from your memories
Questions written for her, as many as you like. You answer out loud, we turn it into a printed book that plays your voice.
Takes a minute — one payment, no subscription. You can record the first story today.
A book about someone else- ✓ Writing is optional, they can just talk
- ✓ She doesn’t have to do anything — it’s a surprise
- ✓ Nobody else can give her this book
Perfect for her birthday, your anniversary, Christmas — or no occasion at all
How it works
You just talk. We make the book.
-
You order
Checkout takes a minute: their name, your WhatsApp, one payment. Your question page opens right away — no waiting for anything.
-
You answer questions about her
Warm, simple questions: how you met, what makes the two of you laugh, the things only you see in her. You answer by voice or on camera, like a voice message — short or long, whenever it suits you.
-
Family and friends join in
Share one link — their stories land in the same book, and every story is signed with the name of whoever told it. Or keep the book yours alone.
-
You hand them the book
A hardcover made of your stories and photos. Point a phone camera at a page — and it plays the voice of the person who told that story. Until that moment, it stays a surprise.
A look inside
How your words become a story
This is what Velena looks like: the page where you record, and the stories your answers turn into.
One question — one button
A question about her and one big record button. No writing.
Speak — or turn on the camera
Add the video add-on and tell it on camera: the QR codes in the book will play the video too.
Stories add up to a book
Every answer is another story. You watch a whole book take shape.
The questions
You never face a blank page
Velena asks; you answer out loud, whenever you have ten free minutes. A few of the questions waiting for you:
- Tell about the first time you met. What did you think then?
- How does she take her tea? What has to be on the table?
- What is her silence like? Tell how you learned to read it.
- Which thing made by her hands do you still have? Tell about it.
- How did she behave when you were ill?
- Which song has become yours? What happens when it plays?
- What does she still surprise you with?
- What do even those closest to her not know about her?
More than a hundred and twenty questions, and they change depending on whether she is your wife or your girlfriend.
Try it yourself
Answer one question — read your own story
This is exactly how the book gets made: answer one question out loud — and a minute later read your own story, written as a book page.

The book
Not just a book — a family heirloom
A hardcover book of your stories about the woman you love and your photos together. And unlike any other book — this one speaks.
- Hardcover, thick archival paper
- Your stories — in your words, each signed by who told it
- A QR code on every story — point a camera and hear their voice or watch the video
- Every recording is kept in your Velena account and can be downloaded anytime
Design the cover of your book
Type the title and the names — the book on screen changes right away. This is how it will arrive.
The photo, the story, the voice and the video — on one page
Every story in the book has its own QR code. Point a camera at it — and the story plays in the voice of the person who told it: you, or the people who love them.
Why give this
The words that are hard to say out loud
Everyday life rarely leaves a moment for the words that matter — gratitude, tenderness, what you love her for. In a book they finally get said. And they stay.
A gift no one can repeat
Flowers wilt and gadgets get replaced. A book about the woman you love, told by you, exists nowhere else in the world — and it cannot be bought ready-made.
She will hear how much she means to you
She scans a page — and hears your voice telling a story about her. Not a caption under a photo: your real voice, kept for years.
What if she says she doesn’t need anything?
Flowers are gone in a week and she already owns the perfume. A book about her, told by you, is the one gift that cannot be bought ready-made and that nobody but you can make.
