About Us

We are C.R. Gibson - makers of keepsakes and stationery since 1870. John Gibson launched our journey in New York City with beautifully printed certificates and social stationery, guided by a simple belief: big moments deserve to be remembered well.

In 1898, we introduced our first baby book and helped define a category. Since then we’ve sold millions of memory books - today, one in four babies is welcomed with a C.R. Gibson book. Through the decades we’ve continued to innovate, from our 1963 leap into gift books and photo albums (hello, Unimount Pages and Univision pocket-page albums) to today’s journals, planners, recipe organizers, guest books, and thoughtful gifts.

What hasn’t changed is our obsession with craft - the paper, the typography, the way a page turns. What has evolved is how we help you capture life: we’re extending the experience of our journals, planners, and baby books with digital technology that makes saving and sharing memories easier than ever.

We’re proud to collaborate with beloved creative partners - like Carter’s, iota, Lolita, and Susan Winget - and to introduce fresh designs every year. With millions of journals sold annually and products available in thousands of retail locations, our legacy keeps growing. 140+ years in, we’re just getting started - here to help you remember beautifully.
