A Mosaic Journal is a meaningful gift for new parents: a 365-day linen photo journal that captures baby's first year as it happens, one photo a day, with prints arriving automatically every month. It's a baby book that doesn't need filling in at 3am, just one photo a day from the phone they're already holding. And it's a story they can one day pass down to their child.

Why it works for new parents

New parents take thousands of photos, and print almost none. The few that do get printed often end up in a drawer. Traditional baby books ask for neat handwriting, milestones and glue sticks at exactly the moment nobody has time.

Mosaic Journal asks for one thing: pick a photo each day. The rest takes care of itself, and every photo has a home waiting for it.

  • Low effort. Choose a photo in the free app (iOS and Android). Missed a few days? Bulk upload later; missed photos roll over.
  • It arrives by itself. Up to 31 prints are posted every month, with free delivery.
  • Made to fit. 4×4" square prints slip straight into the journal's pockets. No glue, no stickers.
  • Watch them grow, week by week. The journal has 52 weekly spreads, so flicking through shows a whole year of changes at a glance.
  • Already born? Backdate up to 365 days, so the journal can start from the very first day.
  • Both parents can join in. The whole family can add to the same journal.

What's in the gift?

The gift bundle includes a premium linen hardcover journal with 365 photo pockets, plus 1 or 12 months of photo deliveries. The activation code comes in an orange envelope in the box and never expires, so they can start whenever life allows.

  • Journal + 1 month of prints: from £29.99
  • Journal + 12 months of prints: from £149.99, the whole first year covered
  • Personalise it with baby's name on the front or spine, from £20 extra. Personalised by hand and dispatched within 24 hours.

Ideas for gifting

  • Group gift: friends or colleagues can chip in for the 12-month bundle, a far more lasting present than another set of baby clothes.
  • Christmas or a first birthday: start the journal from the birth date and the first batch arrives already full of memories.
  • A companion journal for the grandparents: want the same photos posted to two homes? Just message us and we'll set it up. Lots of families do this, even ones spread across the world. Grandparents can also add their own photos to the same journal.

FAQ

Is it only for babies? Not at all, but the first year is when one photo a day feels most magical.

Do prints come dated? The journal is undated so you can start any day; you can add dates to your photos in the app.

Where do you deliver? UK, Europe, the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, with taxes and duties included.

When should I order for Christmas? We follow Royal Mail's Christmas last posting dates. Order before those for delivery by Christmas.
