A studio service
Personalized gifts for kids that are made, not printed.
A name on a mug is personalized. A story book where the child is the painted hero, a coloring book of their own photos, or a card illustrated for them is something else: a gift that was made for one child and could not be given to any other. Three options, from a same-day download to a keepsake hardcover.
Made for one child. Useless to any other.
N° 01Three gifts
By budget and by deadline.
01
Coloring book of their photos
Upload photos, get line-art pages of the child, their pet, their house. Made online in minutes, printed at home or ordered bound. From $19. Ages four and up.
02
Personalized card
A card illustrated for the child, with their name and a scene from their life. For birthdays, a first day at school, a new sibling. A few days.
03
Personalized story book
The child drawn from photos as the hero of a finished story, their name through the text, printed hardcover. From $480, about two weeks. Ages three to nine.
04
Personalized board book
For under-threes. Twelve thick spreads with their face and name, built to be chewed. From $390, about three weeks.
05
Custom story book
A story written around the child, family drawn in, up to 16 spreads. The keepsake option. From $2,200, six to eight weeks.
06
For the whole family
Siblings, twins and cousins can share one book, each drawn from photos and each named. Ask for a multi-child brief.
N° 02Occasions
Birthdays, new siblings, first days.
Most orders are birthdays, and a story book arrives comfortably in time if ordered three weeks out. New-sibling books help an older child feel like the big brother or sister rather than the one being replaced. First-day-at-school books and get-well books are the other regulars.
If the deadline is tomorrow, the coloring book is the answer: it is made online and can be printed at home tonight.
N° 03How it works
Photos in, proof back.
For books, send three photos and the child's name. We draw the character, you approve the likeness, then the pages are illustrated and you see a full proof before printing. Everything ships gift-wrapped to you or to the child, with your message inside.

N° 05Questions
The answers we give most often.
- What is a good personalized gift for a child?
- Something with them in it that gets used. A story book they are the hero of gets read for years. A coloring book of their photos gets coloured and kept.
- What ages do these suit?
- Board books from birth to three, story books from three to nine, coloring books from four up. Cards for any age.
- How quickly can I get one?
- Coloring book the same day. Card in a few days. Story book about two weeks, board book three.
- Do you need photos?
- Three photos for story and board books. For the coloring book, the photos become the pages. Optional for cards.
- Can I send it straight to the child?
- Yes, gift-wrapped to any address with your message inside.
