Personalised birthday gifts for kids
Give them a birthday story starring themselves. Their name, their face, a book they'll keep.
A personalised storybook is one of the few birthday gifts children keep. Choose a story for their age, add their name and photo, and write your own birthday message on the first page. We illustrate them as the hero, print it in hardcover and deliver it gift-boxed anywhere in the UAE and across the GCC.

Questions about gifting
Which ages are the books for?
Our stories are written for ages 2–4, 4–6 and 6–8. Pick one for the child's age band and it will feel made for them, because it is.
How early should I order?
Each book is made to order. Delivery takes about 5 working days in the UAE and Saudi Arabia and about 7 in the rest of the GCC, so order at least a week before the day.
Can you deliver to the child directly?
Yes. Enter the child's address at checkout and the book arrives gift-boxed. Delivery is free across the UAE.
Can I order the book in Arabic?
Yes. Every story comes in Arabic or English. Arabic editions have their own covers and read right to left, and the child's name and message are written in the book's language.
Can I order for more than one child?
Yes, each child gets their own personalised book. Two books save 10% and three or more save 15%, with free delivery.
