Christmas

The Christmas gift for someone who has everything: the story of the two of you.

A Christmas gift for a boyfriend, girlfriend, husband or wife is hard when they already own what they want. A personalized love book is the one thing they cannot have bought: your fourteen memories, written in your voice and painted from your photos, as a 30-page hardcover. You approve every page before it prints. Allow about two weeks to the door.

Why a book, under the tree

Most Christmas gifts for a partner are things: a watch, a jacket, a weekend away. A book about the two of you is the one gift that is only about them, and it is the one they will take down from the shelf in ten years. It opens with how you met and ends with where you are now. Pets, in-laws and the holiday that went wrong are all welcome.

For a boyfriend or girlfriend

The first Christmas together is the moment people most often give one. Fourteen memories from one year fill a book, and the book says something a watch cannot: that you noticed.

For a husband or wife

After years together the stories are the gift. You pick the ones that still get told, including the ones only the two of you know, and the paintings follow you through the years from your photos.

Timing

The book is ready for your review within days of your answers; the rest is printing, close to where you live, and the post. Allow two weeks, and a few extra days in December. If you are reading this in the last week before Christmas, the honest answer is that it will not arrive in time, and we would rather say so than let you find out.

Questions people ask

When do I need to order for Christmas?
Allow about two weeks from your answers to the doorstep, and a few extra days in December for the post. Start by the first week of December to be safe. Orders are not open yet; the first-access list hears the day they do.
Can I keep it a surprise?
Yes. You answer the questions and upload the photos; your partner sees nothing until the box is opened. The book arrives in plain packaging.
What if we have only been together a year?
A year is plenty. Fourteen memories from the first twelve months, how you met, the first date, the first trip, the first argument you laugh about now, make a full book.

See a real one before you decide

The home page shows real spreads from a finished book, so you can judge the writing and the painting yourself. Orders open soon; the first-access list hears first and gets a first-order code.
