Personalised Christmas Gifts for the Whole Family

Every year, as Christmas creeps closer, we find ourselves stuck on the same question: what do we get the kids in the family? And what about Grandma and Grandpa?

Some presents get unwrapped, played with a couple of times and then forgotten in a corner. Others just end up gathering dust on the windowsill.

But you can’t go wrong with a book, can you? Especially when the person you’re giving it to is actually in the story, because then you’re not just handing over a thing, you’re giving cosy time spent reading together. That’s why we’ve rounded up a few ideas for personalised Christmas gifts: books that will never go out of date.

Gift ideas for kids by age

“Look, Anna, that’s you in the book!” Kids love books. And they love them even more when they’re the hero of the story. From babies to schoolkids, there’s a book you can create for every age. And if the age guide doesn’t quite match but you’ve already fallen for a particular book, go for it. What really matters is the child in the story and the time you spend looking at it together.

Baby: Welcome to the World
For our very youngest heroes, “Welcome to the World” (ages 0–3) is the one to go for.

Ages 2–4: My 100 Words
Little explorers aged 2 to 4 love “My 100 Words”. This picture dictionary is packed with 100 new words to discover, and you can even make it bilingual.

Ages 5–8: The Sneezing Dragon, The Tree, the Key & Me and our Search-and-Find books
Older little ones and school kids will love our brand-new Christmas book, “The Sneezing Dragon,” where they get to save Christmas in a snowy enchanted forest, as well as our woodland fairy tale “The Tree, the Key & Me.”
Little ones who love to hunt for hidden details can set off on a trip around the world (“My Search-and-Find World Trip”) or across Europe (“My Search-and-Find European Trip”) in our personalised Search-and-Find books, and spot themselves on every page. These are great for younger kids too, with a recommended age of 2 to 7.

Gift ideas for siblings

Want both of them to be in the story and play an important part in it together? That’s exactly what “A Tale of Two” and “With You by My Side” are for.

Christmas gifts for Grandma and Grandpa

It’s not just kids who love being part of a story. Grown-ups enjoy seeing themselves in cosy moments with the people they love, too.
If you’re looking for a gift that reminds Grandma or Grandpa of the special bond they share with their grandchild, “Our Magical Bond” is a lovely choice. You can personalise it for one or two grandchildren.

Christmas gifts for Mum and Dad

Whether it’s a surprise from the kids or from their partner, Mum and Dad deserve a story of their own too.
For a heartwarming story about a dad and his child (or children), there’s “Lost for Words”. And for Mum, there’s “A Love Like Ours”, a book about the special bond between a mum and her little one. You can personalise it for Mum and one or two kids.

Christmas gifts for your partner

Everyday life doesn’t always leave room to find the right words for the person you love. That’s where a beautifully illustrated book can help. Your own dedication at the front reads like a personal letter they can come back to again and again, and the story brings your love to life.
For this, there’s our couples’ book “A Love Letter”, and for newlyweds, our wedding book “Now and Forever”.
