n.

A book that contains reminiscences, letters, photos, and other memorabilia, often given as a gift to a loved one.

"Amanda Braun, 16, of Nordonia, hinted that sometimes the best gifts are the ones made with a little elbow grease.

'I would like my boyfriend to make me a craft or a memory book or something sweet like that. When your boyfriend goes through the trouble of making something, it shows some thought,' Braun said."
