A Personalized Book for Your Partner

A gift for your partner is the hardest gift of all. They already know what you think of them, and what they do not know yet is hard to say out loud. A personal book solves that: in ten pages it says what does not come out over dinner, with both of you in the illustrations.

What goes into a personal book for a couple

The book is written from your answers to seven short questions. For a couple, these are usually the memories that work best:

  • The first meeting, including the embarrassing detail.
  • The first trip together, and what went wrong on it.
  • The moment you knew it was the real thing. Not the romantic moment, but the true one: the soup you got when you were sick.
  • The little habit that drives you crazy and that you would never give up.
  • The sentence for the last page. It is usually the one you say before falling asleep.

Tone: funny, moving, or both

For an anniversary, most couples choose a moving tone with a wink. For a wedding (when the book is a gift from friends or parents), funny works better. For a "just because" book on an ordinary Wednesday, any tone is good. You choose the tone in one of the questions, and you can change any page afterward.

How it works in practice

Upload one clear photo of each of you, answer the questions, and within about a minute you get a cover and ten pages. Go through it page by page, edit or ask for a rewrite. Then we illustrate the cover and two pages for free, and only if you love it do you order the full book: 21 pages in a hardcover, with a dedication. You can see current prices on the create page.

Three things to leave out

  • Arguments that have not been settled yet. The book is not the place.
  • People from the past. The book is about the two of you.
  • Big promises. One true sentence is worth more than a page of "forever."

An idea for couples with kids

You can put up to four people in the book, so the kids can appear in the illustrations next to you. And if you want a book where the child is the hero, there is a separate children's book for that.

Start a personalized book for your partner. The sample is free, and the decision comes after.

Questions couples ask

Can I make the book without my partner knowing? Yes. All you need is one clear photo of them and of yourself, and three memories. Everything is done from your phone, and you can ship the package straight to them.

What if we have only been together a year? One year is ten pages easily: the first date, the first trip, the first time you fell asleep during a movie. A book about the beginning is a book you will read on every anniversary.

Can it be written in two languages? Each book is written in one language: Hebrew, English, German, Spanish, or Arabic. For a bilingual couple, you can order two books.

How far ahead of the anniversary should I start? At least three weeks, four is better. In the US, printing and delivery take about 12 days once the book is sent to print.

What if they laugh? That is the goal for nine pages. The tenth page takes care of the rest.
