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.

Frequently asked

When should I order for a birthday?

The preview is ready in a few minutes, but printing and delivery take time. Printed and delivered it arrives within 7 working days. So order well before the birthday, not on the day itself.

I’m the aunt, grandma or neighbour, how do I get photos?

Ask the parents for a few photos, three is already enough. Or make the book together with them; that’s a lovely moment in itself, and the gift stays a surprise for the child.

What age does this gift work for?

Best for children from around two to eight. You choose the age yourself and we adjust the language and the story to match.

Can the book be about the party itself?

Yes, that works nicely as a gift in reverse: make a book from the party photos afterwards, so the child can relive their own birthday again and again.

Also sweet: a birthday colouring page of the birthday child, as a treat for the class, €1
