personalised hardcover book

a baby shower gift that grows along: the book about this baby

at a baby shower, the main character isn’t there yet. that’s exactly why a book is such a lovely gift: you give it as a promise. write a card saying a book is coming once the first photos are there, or make a book about the parents-to-be right now, from photos of the pregnancy. we write the story and illustrate every page, and the preview is free.

building it is free — you only pay when you order.

frequently asked

the baby isn’t born yet, how can there be a book?

two ways. the easiest: give a card with the promise at the shower, and make the book once the first photos are there, as a made-to-measure newborn gift. or turn it around and make a book about the parents-to-be: working on the nursery, the growing belly, the waiting. they’ll read that one together with their child later.

can I give it together with the other guests?

yes, that happens a lot. one person arranges the book, the rest joins in via the card. because the preview is free, you know exactly what you’re giving together beforehand.

what if the name isn’t known yet?

no problem. the book is only made once the baby is there, so the name simply goes in then. for a book about the parents-to-be, no name is needed.

how much does a baby shower book cost?

from € 34,95 as a softcover and € 39,95 as a hardcover, standard shipping included, delivered within 7 working days. the preview is free. giving as a group of eight, that’s about € 5 per person.
