Better than another thing in a drawer

Most Father’s Day gifts are things Dad says he likes and then puts in a drawer. The ones that stick are usually not things at all: the afternoon you spent with him, the question nobody had asked him before.

Fablr turns that into a gift. Dad gets a year of voice conversations with a biographer that asks about his life and remembers his answers. The family gets a hardcover of his stories.

Give the first conversation on the day

  • Write one question in his card: “What was the worst car you ever owned?”
  • Sit with him for the first few minutes while he starts.
  • Leave the rest to him. He talks whenever he likes, for as long as he likes.

What happens after June

The biographer asks the next question and picks up next time where he left off. His stories are written down in his own words, and if he gets a detail wrong, he says so and approves the correction on the page. When the family is ready, you order the hardcover: full color, 8.5x11, with a code on each recorded chapter that plays his voice.

Questions he’ll want to answer

  1. What did your dad do on Father’s Day when you were a kid?
  2. What was the hardest job you ever had?
  3. What’s a trip you still think about?
  4. How did you know you were ready to be a father?
  5. What do you hope we remember about you?

If you would rather someone else asked

A biographer who asks the next question.

Fablr holds these conversations by voice, at whatever pace suits them. It follows up the way a good listener does and remembers what they said last time. The stories become a hardcover, with a code on each chapter that plays it in their own voice.

Questions, answered.

There’s nothing to learn. He presses one button and talks, and the biographer asks the questions. Plenty of dads who say they have nothing to tell end up talking for an hour.

No. Fablr is $149, billed once, with a year of conversations and the hardcover included.

Yes. The gift is the conversations, so there’s nothing to ship until you order the book.

That’s fine. He talks from his own phone, tablet or computer, and you can be anywhere.
