Artkive Reviews - Why Parents Love Us
We decided to share some of the Artkive reviews that made us smile! Parents love how Artkive builds kids’ confidence, brings families closer, and honors creativity. We hope that hearing from them will help you know what to expect when you choose Artkive.
Premium Quality Keepsake: Artkive delivers archival-quality art books for kids that often exceed expectations. According to one dad, he's "obsessed"!
"I seriously couldn't believe how good the final book looked - every piece of art was photographed so well, and the whole thing just felt really polished... It's such a cool way to hold on to those moments - I'm genuinely obsessed with it." ~ Benjamin
Another mom, who wished to remain anonymous, emailed us to say we gave her more than a keepsake book. She sees this as a future heirloom!
"I have been saving our son's work since he was old enough to hold a crayon, and everything has just sat in totes for years. The books are worth every penny. The photos of these child drawings are just so clear... like looking at the real thing. I am so so happy... and hope it's passed down through the generations. It's that good!"
Decluttering Without Guilt: Instead of constantly finding space for more storage bins of artwork, Artkive lets you declutter guilt-free. We know it's not easy to throw away the milestones and moments. In fact, one mom confessed the “mom-guilt" was gnawing away at her!
"This is an amazing idea! The mom-guilt of throwing away my kid's art was killing me, but I could not wait to get rid of the boxes in my basement that were taking up space. My kids love showing them off to family and friends so they can all see their artwork!" ~ Elle
Looks like Elle wasn't the only mom wracked with the guilt of overwhelming art piles:
"This is such a great way to declutter without the mom guilt! The book of my daughter’s artwork is exactly as expected, and she LOVED looking back at everything she created. We'll continue this service for years to come!"
Kids Encouraged (Grandparents Too!): The biggest joy is seeing a child’s face light up with pride at their own creations. It's a high that no parent can resist. But more than seeing a child's joy, every parent glows at seeing their kid's self-esteem increase. One mom shares how the Artkive book gave her son more confidence.
“Love, love, love the result and quality! Perfect gift for grandparents far away and a memento for us too. Kiddo was SO proud, which has given him more confidence and interest in art!” ~ Lia
And speaking of grandparents, Lia isn't the only one who has gifted Artkive to grandparents who want to stay connected.
"My kids love looking back at their books and seeing their progression. I love seeing how happy they are when they see their own published books. My husband loves that [the house] is very decluttered and we aren’t hoarding. My parents/In-laws love it because they get great books from their grandchildren, making them feel part of our everyday life." ~ June T.
Easy, Convenient Service: Parents also love how simple the process is. When you're staring into the void of years of kids' arts and crafts, the idea of trying to DIY an artwork archive is daunting! Artkive is here to remove this burden so parents can declutter artwork hassle-free!
"From the moment I received the box to put my kids' artwork in, I knew I was in good hands. The box is sturdy and has clear instructions. My son was so excited to see his art in a book..." ~ Ryan G.
Fill it up, send it in, and let the professionals handle the rest. It's that simple! Artkive’s team photographs and edits each piece, then gives you a digital proof to review before the book goes to print. Many admit they could never have achieved the same results on their own, so having Artkive do the work is a huge relief.
"Could I make a photo book myself for less? Yes. Would I ever get around to doing it for the kids’ art? Probably not. I still need to finish their baby books and make family photo albums! Artkive makes preserving my kids’ art as easy as possible." ~ Danielle Y.
