Mothering Sunday - for a nephew
A personalized mothering sunday book for your nephew
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 nephew: a one-of-a-kind adventure starring him, not another toy.
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 nephew
For a nephew the competition is a shelf of things that light up, and the way to win is not to compete on noise. A book where he is drawn as the hero is the one gift in the pile that no other relative could have given, and it is still there when the batteries have gone. Older nephews are the sceptical ones - by seven they have seen books with their name typed in and were unimpressed - so the fact that the illustrations are generated from his actual photo is the part worth mentioning when he opens it.
A dedication in your voice
For my nephew, the bravest one in the family. Your uncle
The dedication is page one of the printed book - the first page they open.
One practical tip
If he is six or older, tell him the pictures were made from his own photo. That is the detail that turns a polite thank-you into him actually reading it.

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.
