Father's Day - for a niece

A personalized father's day book for your niece

A Father's Day gift with them both in it: a storybook where his child is the hero of an adventure, illustrated from a photo, ready to read together. For a niece: the gift that makes you the favorite aunt or uncle.

The gift problem with dads is that they rarely want anything. This sidesteps it - it is not really a gift for him to own, it is an excuse for twenty minutes at bedtime with his child as the hero. The dedication page is where you say the thing that is hard to say out loud.

What to know when you are buying for a niece

Aunts and uncles have a specific problem: you want to be memorable, you see her a handful of times a year, and her parents have politely asked for no more plastic. A book with her as the hero solves all three at once - it is unmistakably from you, it takes up almost no space, and it is the kind of thing a parent is quietly relieved to receive. Sign it in your own voice rather than the family voice; being the one who wrote something funny is the whole point.

A dedication in your voice

To my favourite niece - remember who the hero is. Auntie x

The dedication is page one of the printed book - the first page they open.

One practical tip

Ask her parents for the current obsession before you order. It is one text message and it is the difference between the book of the year and a nice book.

Common questions

When is Father's Day?

The third Sunday of June in the United States, the United Kingdom and Ireland - 20 June in 2027. In Australia and New Zealand it is the first Sunday of September instead, so check which one applies to you before you order.

What do you give a dad who says he does not want anything?

Something that is about his child rather than about him. A storybook where his own child is the hero gives him a reason to sit down and read rather than an object to find space for.

Can I add a message from the children?

Yes. Every book has a dedication page, and it prints inside the book - so it stays with it rather than being thrown away with the card.
