Built by Hand.
Inspired by the World.
Mini Memento started as one person's idea to capture the feeling of a place in something you could actually hold. It's still that — just shared with a lot more people now.
"Every great adventure deserves something to remember it by."— The Mini Memento Philosophy
Hi, I'm Blake — and I built this from scratch.
Mini Memento started as a small idea I was tinkering with at home. I love designing and building things, and I thought it would be cool to capture the feeling of travel in a way you could actually hold onto.
What began as a side project turned into Mini Memento. I'm not a big company — it's just me, building this piece by piece, kit by kit. Every order is packed by hand. Every detail is thought through.
My hope is that each kit gives you a creative project and a little reminder of the places you care about. Thanks for being here at the beginning. You're part of the story now, too.
To turn the places you love into something you can keep forever.
At its heart, Mini Memento is about more than travel — it's about the joy of creating and the memories that stay with us. Each kit is designed not just as a project, but as an experience: an invitation to slow down, create with your hands, and reconnect with the moments that matter most.
When you finish, you're left with more than a miniature scene. You're left with a keepsake that carries a piece of your journey — your adventures, your dreams, your memories — captured in miniature, ready to be cherished for years to come.
Your story, captured in miniature.
Every trip, every dream, every place you've longed to see becomes part of who you are. Maybe it's the cobblestone street where you had your first croissant in Paris, the mountain cabin you've always wanted to visit, or a city still waiting on your bucket list.
These memories and dreams shape your story. Mini Memento is here to help you hold onto them. I imagine families building kits together on a cozy evening, friends gifting them as reminders of adventures, or someone placing one on their shelf to spark daydreams of their next trip.
The dream isn't just mine — it becomes ours. Every time you build a kit, you're adding to the story of Mini Memento.
Three things that guide everything we make.
From the materials we choose to the way we write our instructions, these values shape every kit.
Every piece is designed with care. Pre-cut wooden parts, quality materials, and thoughtful details that make building a genuine pleasure — not a frustration.
Each kit is a destination. Whether you’ve been there or dream of going, we capture the spirit of a place — the light, the texture, the mood — in every build.
Designed to be shared — as gifts, as family projects, as something to display and talk about for years. The best memories are the ones you make together.
Every kit is a new destination.
