I actually have seen these books many times and they looked like the best on the market but I looked at the price and thought it was too expensive, especially since I would need one for each of the three kids. A year or so later after looking everywhere for similar books all I could find was books with terrible reviews about the quality of them, and the prices were still high. I ended up taking the gamble and ordering the School years spiral bound books in each of the colours. Boy was I impressed, you can feel the quality as soon as you pick them up. They are worth every dollar. All of the details in them are amazing and they are so well planned out. Love that they are from Kinder to year 12. They will be such a special keepsake and therefore an amazing investment as I can tell they will last the distance.
Every page is thoughtfully crafted for families to record yearly milestones. Love the fact that there's a transparent folder for every year to add crafts/drawings/pictures! Insanely high quality, highly recommended for every family to have this book. The rings make it so easy to open the pages and write details without ruining the book.
Absolutely beautiful books which are well worth the money. I got a third book free and gifted it to a friend. Thank you ☺️
Cutest journal, came so quickly. Very large so you can put heaps of photos to keep track of everything.
I purchased 2 books for my boys. They’re both beautiful colours (blue & green)
My eldest has just left school. Unfortunately he didn’t completely yr 12 and Covid took away a lot of info I won’t be able to fill for those years only class photo so the pages left blank I will fill with photos, camp, start of year, end of year, working on the farm, learning to use tools, bikes etc. But the primary school years are full to the brim. I kept everything from pre kindergarten/day care/3yo kinder, kinder, school and high school, football, Auskick. Awards, medals, certificates, ribbons, awards, spelling bees, drawings etc and they’re all taped in this book. I even kept his day care note book from the teachers what he ate, did, drew, photos and sleep schedule. I had no choice but to fill primary years with those things as we are ages away from attempting to have his old teachers write some notes, but I’m going to attempt to have his teachers from high school fill in some things for him. I do have 1 small suggestion but only because I kept pre kindergarten (not kinder) is to have some pages for that year (so basically 3YO kinder and day care)
This is very well crafted, heavy, strong spirals, loads of pages for each year, plastic pockets for little things for each year (I used them for class photo spare single photos)
It worked out for me approx $5.76 a year for my eldest (13 years of schooling)
These were not around when my eldest was starting so it’s a great investment now my youngest is just starting!
So much care & time went into making these so I had no hesitation in buying a couple. Thank you so much for creating these wonderful books.

These books are so beautifully made. I am so impressed with them. I will be buying more for the other children in my family. So very happy with them
I’m so happy I purchased these! Will 100% recommend!!!
I've had my eye on these books for a while and finally pulled the trigger. I got 3 in pink, blue and green. I was very happy with the quality, build, everything overall.
My only small problem was that some of our class photos where too big for the space provided so we had to cut them down which makes it look a bit messy but I sure it will not matter in the long run.
Overall, we love them, and I can't wait to see them complete :)
I have finally found the thing I was looking for! I had a pile of school photos that had no way of fitting in any regular photo album. I have now sorted out the photos and can enjoy going through them. I also made a mistake on my order (colour) and the team helped me without any issues. Amazing service all around! Thank you for the beautiful product x
I am so pleased with my purchase from Vanda Baby. I bought two books, one pink and one blue. I love how elegant yet sturdy they are and how they cover from kindy to high school years. A friend recommended them to me and I'm so glad I've invested in this product. Crystal from Perth WA
This is an absolute life-saving book. We just went through the QLD floods, and the ability to pick this up and know that my only child's school memories were safe and with me was so reassuring! The quality is beautiful and the layout is stunning.
I have 3 kids and wanted to have the same book to keep for them throughout their whole schooling. This is the perfect thing!
Absolutely beautiful! Quality is amazing. So happy with it. Have recommended it to others!
Great album, professional made. IMO great for newborn gift ideas. The only suggestion is, best if album have a good cover for protection, either good material of plastic or cloth, similar to bags protection.
I got this for my wife last week, she loved it!!! This offers a great way to follow the pregnancy and tell a story for the little one years down the track.
Thanks so much for a great product!!!
Absolutely stunning books! So in love, thank you so much :) I can’t wait to start to fill it with precious memories!
Love the layouts and the pockets for other memorabilia. Beautiful font and design throughout. My only issue, and I guess it’s because we aren’t uniform across the country, is the preschool/pre-k year is labelled kindergarten which to me is same as the one labelled “first year of school” because in NSW that is kindergarten. Think that section needs just as ambiguous a title!
The albums are beautifully crafted, with a thick, substantial feel and a sturdy metal spiral binding. I was pleasantly surprised by their solid construction upon opening. The products are genuinely stunning, and I will certainly be recommending them to others.
Appreciate that they applied promo code for me even after check out and the delivery updates on orders.
My Mum absolutely loved receiving this for her birthday and I can’t wait to read it with my son whenever she is done. I told her to take her time :)
Having bought 4 School years books and very happy with them, I have now bought a Baby book and I am equally delighted with this. The books are a great quality and cover each year in a lot of detail. I highly recommend them.
The book is stunning! It is extremely solid and well put together. I love the gold spiral ring binding allowing for expansion with the addition of photos over the years. While I didn't appreciate the colour of the new 'sage green' Luxe School Years book in the flesh (I personally felt it more lime than the sage portrayed in the name and photos), Rhea was approachable with a replacement as the classic blue is stunning. The returns process was smooth, and I cannot wait to fill it with my daughter's photos through the years.
