Kapu SvētkiA gift that lasts forever
Give Your Parent the Gift of a Recorded Life Story
Every parent and grandparent has a story worth keeping. Kapu Svētki guides them through simple questions and turns their answers into a beautiful written biography — a memory book the whole family can share for generations.
You pay · They own their memoir · No account needed to give it
For the adult child who keeps meaning to ask
You've thought about sitting down with your mum or dad to capture their stories — the war years, the first job, how they met, the lessons they'd pass on. Life keeps getting in the way. Kapu Svētki does the heavy lifting so their story doesn't slip away unwritten.
What's included
Everything they need to tell their story
No blank pages, no deadlines, no computer skills required — just gentle guidance and a beautiful result.
Guided questions, not a blank page
Your parent answers simple prompts about their childhood, career, family, and the moments that shaped them — at their own pace, in any order.
A written biography, automatically
Kapu Svētki turns their answers into a flowing narrative biography — no writing experience needed. They can regenerate it any time they add more.
Shareable with the whole family
The finished memoir lives at its own web address. Share it privately with family or publish it publicly so everyone can read Grandma or Grandpa's story.
No rush — take as long as you need
There's no deadline. Your parent can answer a few questions today and come back next month. The biography grows richer every time they add to it.
Kept safe for generations
The story is preserved on Kapu Svētki — not lost in a notebook or a fading memory. Future grandchildren will be able to read it too.
Upgrade to a printed book
When the story feels complete, send it to Real Life Stories to create a full book that can be printed, gifted, and sold — a true family heirloom.

Questions
Common questions about gifting a memoir
How does Kapu Svētki work as a gift for a parent?+
You set up an account on behalf of your parent or grandparent, then they answer guided questions about their life at their own pace. Kapu Svētki weaves their answers into a beautifully written biography they can share with the whole family.
Does my parent need to be good with computers?+
No. The questions are simple and the writing is done for them. If they prefer, a family member can help type their answers or record them aloud. The biography is generated automatically from whatever they share.
Can the whole family read the finished biography?+
Yes. Every biography gets its own web address that can be shared privately with family or published publicly. You can also expand the story into a full book on Real Life Stories for printing and sale.
How much does it cost?+
Self creating and publishing a biography on Kapu Svētki has 30 days free. Gifting requires the US$20 up front payment as a commitment to encourage commitment from the recipient of your gift. Then only if you later decide there are optional paid add-ons to enable future messages and type of visibility, QR sticker printing, or to create a full printed book or short story on our dedicated book creation website - Real Life Stories.
