Personalised gifts for kids they'll keep forever
A hardcover storybook where your child is the hero, with their name, age and likeness on every page. Gift-boxed and delivered across the UAE and GCC.
Looking for a meaningful gift for a child in the UAE or GCC? Hikaya by Maison Jaber turns any of our stories into a book about them: their name, their age and an illustrated version of their face, printed in hardcover and gift-boxed. It's a present for birthdays, Eid, Ramadan, Christmas, a new sibling, a first day of school, or no reason at all, and it lasts long after the wrapping paper.

Questions about gifting
What do you need from me?
Just the child's first name, age and one clear photo of their face. We use the photo only to illustrate the book and delete it after 15 days.
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.
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 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.
