Hi, I’m Tessie 👋
It started with a gift for my dad
When my dad turned 60, I wanted to give him more than another gadget or gift card. Something he’d keep and come back to for years.
So I asked family and friends for their best stories, old photos and the inside jokes only we understand, and turned it all into one magazine about him. Printed like a real glossy.

The moment
His reaction made it all worth it
He unwrapped it, opened the first page and went quiet. Then the laughing started, a few tears, and he kept reading the stories out loud to everyone in the room. It was the best moment of the whole party.
He read it cover to cover at least ten times, and every friend who came over got the full tour. Seeing him that proud, I knew I’d made something special.
-
Then everyone wanted one
“Can you make one for my mom?”
Shop magazinesI shared his reaction on TikTok, and the messages kept coming. Everyone wanted that same moment for someone they love.
So I turned his magazine into a Canva template anyone can fill in, no design skills needed. A magazine for my mom followed, and one for my boyfriend.
