About Us
Our Story
The first thing you should know about us is that we love traveling. We love giving good gifts, and we love spending our money on experiences above all else.
The idea for Bookshelf Memories started more than 2 years ago when a friend who had just bought a DIY Book Nook kit for his fiance because it reminded them of their travels across the world. We wanted to remember our travels in a unique way as well.
As soon as we were introduced to book nooks, we were hooked. Over the next two years, we got deep into Book Tok, and learned all about the world of minatures and DIY Kits. We designed, tested, and produced the best book nook available on the market. We believe you'll spend weeks staring at it every time you look at your bookshelf.

I got to try one of the first samples of Tokyo Alley. I loved coming home and putting this together. The manual is well organized, so I don't feel lost. I was surprised at how easy it was to install the lighting, and now when I turn it on, I can't stop staring at it. It really is impressive.

I absolutely love the DIY Tokyo Alley Book Nook
I was blown away by the detail in this diorama! Every piece fit perfectly, and the instructions were so clear. This was hands down the best DIY project I've ever done.

Everything I needed and fun to assemble
The Tokyo alleyway scene is mesmerizing! The lighting effects bring it to life, and assembling it was incredibly satisfying. My only suggestion is that I didn't really need so much glue, but I'm glad they provided it.
