Ruidoso, NM -- October 3, 2001 -- In tough times, memories-not dreams-hold the key to survival," says psychologist and author Larry Tobin, (Time Well Spent, Beyond Words) owner of MemorEGifts.com, a site where visitors create memory-based gifts. Favorite memories fast-track your confidence for that next bold step forward."

Reminiscing, once associated only with aging, is now recognized as a natural form of stress management at all ages. Just as a child returns to favorite toys or a couple re-lives details of their first date, memories deliver comfort and encouragement when needed most.

At MemorEGifts, visitors turn often-overlooked memories into unforgettable gifts.

MemorEMugsTM add warm, favorite memories to your day. These personalized coffee mugs-recalling the highpoints of your relationship, vacation, child, pet or career-jumpstart your morning, and provide brief escapes to a comfort memory" throughout a stressful day. (People mention that coffee never felt so good.")

MemorEMugs are welcome gifts during times of challenge or celebration. A college athlete boosts her confidence with a MemorEMug of career highlights. Her coach enjoys an anniversary mug of family vacation memories created online by children living in separate states. Parents record the highlights of a childs year each birthday-a gift the grandparents cherish now, and the child will enjoy later.

To record life stories in greater detail, begin a free online MemorEJournalTM (which can later be printed and bound.) Memories often give surprising insights to forgotten interests. Recalling his enthusiasm for a bit-role in a grade school play, an airline pilot recently joined a community theatre group. A local doctor purchased an RV to revisit the pleasures of childhood camping.

Contacting old friends" is also made easier with the unique format of MemorECardsTM. In seconds you can e-mail that memory that just brought a smile to your face, and let your buddies relive the fun with you.

Summarizing the companys mission, Tobin finds that memory-gifts help people pause briefly to appreciate all that their life has already been-and remember that happiness is fueled by memories...not just driven by dreams."

Or as the logo on MemorEMugs suggests: Hot Coffee, Warm Memories-life just doesnt get any better than this!"
