Mothering Sunday - for a grandson
A personalized mothering sunday book for your grandson
A Mothering Sunday gift that is really about the two of them: a storybook in which her child is the hero, illustrated from a photograph, for her to read together at bedtime. For a grandson: a keepsake from grandparents he will treasure - even from far away.
Flowers last a week. A book in which her own child is the hero, drawn from a photograph she recognises, is something she will still have on the shelf when they are grown - and something they will ask her to read again that same night. It works whether you are the other parent organising it, or the child old enough to want a gift of their own to give.

What to know when you are buying for a grandson
Grandparents are usually buying from a distance, and that changes what the book is for. It is not another thing in the toy pile - it is a way of being in the room on a night you are not there. The dedication page does most of that work, and it is the page his parents will still have in twenty years. If you are not sure what he is into at the moment, that is normal; ask for the current obsession, or pick a milestone story, which ages better than a fad.
A dedication in your voice
To our grandson - we thought of you on every page. With all our love, Grandma and Grandpa
The dedication is page one of the printed book - the first page they open.
One practical tip
Ship it straight to his house and write the dedication as if you are reading it aloud to him. That page is the part that gets kept.

All occasionsCommon questions
When is Mothering Sunday?
Mothering Sunday falls on the fourth Sunday of Lent - three weeks before Easter - so the date moves every year. It is 7 March in 2027 and 26 March in 2028. That is roughly nine weeks before the American Mother's Day in May, which matters: if you are following an American gift guide you are already very late.
How long do I need to allow for a printed book?
Six days to a UK address from the moment you approve your book, and nine to fourteen to Ireland. Order-by dates for every occasion are on our delivery page. The digital edition is instant, so it never misses the date.
Is it personalised or personalized?
Both spellings mean the same thing - "personalised" is the British and Irish spelling and "personalized" the American one. You are in the right place either way.
