A personal book as a first communion gift
5.0What others say about their fonkle book
A first communion: a room full of family, one child in the middle of it all for a whole day, and a pile of cards with money inside. Kindly meant, but a year later nobody remembers what was in them.

Superleuke ervaring met Fonkle! Ik heb er een persoonlijk boek besteld dat met behulp van AI voor mijn dochter is gemaakt. Het hele proces was ontzettend gebruiksvriendelijk en je kunt werkelijk alles helemaal aanpassen aan je eigen wensen. Het eindresultaat is echt heel persoonlijk en bijzonder geworden. Absoluut een aanrader!

We hebben een boek gemaakt van de zomer 2026 van mijn kleinkindje. Heel blij mee, mooi gedrukt en snel verzonden. De prentjes lijken echt op de personages. Iedereen vindt het schitterend 😃 Moest ik toch één iets als minpuntje zeggen, ik vind het een beetje prijzig.

Why a fonkle book
A book where the communicant plays the lead, written and illustrated from your own photos, is still on the shelf ten years on. Especially lovely from a godparent: something personal beside the envelope.
- The communicant plays the lead, drawn from your own photos
- A godparent gift that lasts, beside the classic envelope
- The story is about the child, not the church, so it fits every family
- Free preview of the whole book before you order

Frequently asked
What age does this work for?
First communion falls around seven or eight, and our stories are written for children up to about eight, so it fits, right at the grown-up end of the range. For confirmation age, around twelve, a picture book is honestly too young; better to choose something else then.
I’m the godparent, how do I get photos?
Ask the parents for a few photos, three is already enough. Or make the book together with them, so it stays a surprise for your godchild. You choose the delivery address at checkout, that can be the child’s home directly.
Can the book be about the day itself?
Yes, that works nicely afterwards: make a book from the photos of the day, the outfit, the cake, the whole family together, so the child can relive their own big day.
Am I in time for a communion in may?
The preview is ready in a few minutes; the printed book arrives within about 7 working days in the netherlands, a little longer for belgium. You choose the delivery country at checkout. The communion date is known months in advance, so simply order a few weeks ahead.
