How it works

Tell us who’s in it

Up to five people and two pets. Add one to three photos of each person, or build them in the character maker. About five minutes.
See it free

We draw your crew, the cover and two pages while you wait. Not quite Grandpa? Say what to change and we redraw him.
Order, check, unwrap

Pay when you love it. We draw the rest and email you the finished book: change any page, or say yes. Then we print it close to home.

You pay nothing until you have seen them. See your characters, the cover and two pages free before you pay. Then you check every page: if we haven’t heard from you within 12 hours of our email, we print it as shown so it arrives on time.

The first present on Christmas Eve

The night before Christmas: new pajamas, hot chocolate and one story read aloud. This is the story, and it is about them.

A book for every Christmas Eve

Made to be read aloud on the sofa the night before, year after year. The little ones grow, the book stays the same, and one day they read it to you.

Grandparents make it for the grandchildren and send a copy to every house: extra copies cost from $26, and we mail one straight to another address for $5.

Every family fits

Two moms, two dads, a grandmother raising her grandson, twins, a dad in a wheelchair, a step-family with three surnames. You tell us who your crew is, and the story is written around them.

Names, pronouns and what each person is called in the book are yours to choose, and nobody is left out of the pictures.

Up to five people and two pets in every book.

Questions, answered

Will it really arrive before Christmas?

Order by December 7 in the USA and approve your proof within 12 hours. If it still arrives late, we refund you in full.

Do I need photos?

No. You can add one to three photos of each person (three give the best likeness), or build each person in our character maker: hair, skin, eyes, glasses and more.

What if a character doesn’t look right?

You see your crew, the cover and two pages free before you order. Tell us what to change and we redraw it. You check every page before we print, with 12 hours to ask for changes.

How many people can be in it?

Up to five people and two pets. Bigger family? Make a second book for the cousins: extra copies and second books cost less.

Can we send copies to the grandparents?

Yes. Add extra copies from $26 each, or a mini book for $17, and we mail them straight to another address for $5.

Who draws the pictures?

The illustrations are made with AI from your photos or the character maker, in the style you choose. You check every page before we print.

What happens to our photos?

They are used only to draw your book and never to train AI. We delete them 30 days after your book is delivered, and drafts that are never ordered after 60 days.

What if it arrives damaged?

Send us a photo and we reprint it free. The same goes for any mistake we made.

Where do you deliver?

To addresses in the United Kingdom and the United States, printed in the country it goes to. We can’t deliver anywhere else yet.

Can I cancel?

Yes, until we print. If you are not happy with the finished pages, cancel before we print and we refund you in full. Once it is printed, a book made for your family can’t be returned, but anything damaged or wrong on our side is reprinted free.
