In a world dominated by friend requests, likes, and status updates, the My Friends and I friendship book is a refreshing throwback—a charming, analog reminder of what friendship is all about: real connections, shared memories, and a little creativity. If you think about it, this fun keepsake is technically the first version of Facebook—except instead of a glowing screen, you've got a book full of your friends' quirks and dreams.
The Old-School News Feed
Remember when Facebook’s early charm was all about your friends sharing random facts about themselves and posting their favorite song lyrics? My Friends and I takes that concept and makes it tangible. Each friend fills out two pages with answers to fun questions like, "What’s your favorite food?" and "What do you want to be when you grow up?" It's like a news feed, but one where every post is deeply personal, handwritten, and free of targeted ads.
The Ultimate Friend Request
Unlike social media platforms, where “friendships” are just a click away, My Friends and I encourages kids to walk up to their friends and say, "Hey, will you be in my book?" It’s an adorable, real-life equivalent of sending a friend request, but with way more charm—and zero risk of getting ghosted. Plus, the process sparks face-to-face interaction, something that social media often struggles to replicate.
A Timeless Profile Page
Every kid’s entry in My Friends and I is essentially their profile page. They answer questions about their likes, dreams, and hobbies, creating a snapshot of who they are at that moment in time. The kicker? Each profile comes with space for a photo—a perfect throwback to when profile pictures weren’t selfies but carefully selected snapshots.
Memories That Won’t Disappear
Facebook memories are great, until they’re buried under cat videos and ads for sparkly shoes. And let’s be honest—there’s something magical about flipping through a book filled with personalities. My Friends and I isn’t just a one-time project; it’s a keepsake that grows more precious with time. Years down the road, these pages will be a portal to a time when friendships were simple and life was filled with possibilities.
Comments Section? Try Conversations
One of the best parts of My Friends and I is how it gets kids talking. It’s like a comments section but way better because it happens in real life. Friends laugh, compare answers, and ask follow-up questions, strengthening their bonds without the need for emojis or GIFs.
No Algorithm, Just Connection
Unlike social media platforms that feed you content based on algorithms, My Friends and I gives kids the chance to connect without distractions. There’s no endless scroll—just genuine moments of joy and discovery.
Bringing Friendship Full Circle
In the digital age, My Friends and I is a gentle nudge to remember that friendship is about more than just a connection on a screen. It’s about learning what makes your friends unique, celebrating those quirks, and creating a keepsake that will stand the test of time.
So, while social networks may have popularized the idea of collecting friends and sharing stories, friendship books like My Friends and I have been doing it in analog, screen-free form all along—and doing it with a lot more heart.
