Twelve Reasons Why
Made for the person being celebrated: the book is built around your reasons, in your words, and none of it needs a long shared history to make sense.
Birthday · for your partner
A birthday book for your partner, built on what you love about them
It is their day, so the book is about them. Write six reasons, up to twelve, each with the moment behind it, and your partner is drawn as the hero from their own photo, with you beside them.
Which book, and why
Decade by Decade

Common questions
Do I need to know their whole life story?
No. For the reasons you only need your own moments. For a big-number birthday the book also asks for their birth year, what they are known for and a story people retell, which a friend can help with.
Can I read it aloud at the party?
It reads in one sitting, so it works at a table. Choose reasons you are happy to say in front of people, since the whole text is yours to read, free, before you pay.
What if the birthday is next week?
Give the digital edition first, because it opens as soon as you approve it. A printed copy follows within the production and shipping time listed on this page for your country.
