Before you choose

Nothing prints until you approve how the book looks, so the day you actually have to act is earlier than the order-by date anyone publishes. We wrote down the Christmas deadline that is not the one on the courier page

Common questions

Will a personalized Christmas book arrive in time?

Order early in December - the digital book is ready in minutes, and printed keepsakes are produced and shipped, typically within a week.

When do I need to order for Christmas?

Approve your book by 17 December for the UK and 13 December inside the US - those dates work back from the real delivery window with a safety margin, and the order-by date for every country is on our delivery page. After that, the digital edition still arrives on time.

Is it too obviously a Christmas book to read in March?

No, and that is deliberate - the story is your child's, with Christmas as the setting rather than the subject. The ones that get read all year are the ones that are about the child first.

Two children, two books - does the second one take as long?

Not nearly. Make the first as normal, then choose "Make one for another child": the occasion, the art style and the story carry over, and only the child changes. Three or more ordered together are 5% off at checkout, with no code, and they ship in one parcel.
