If you’re looking for a truly special and thoughtful gift for your dad– or are shopping for a hard-to-buy step dad who already has everything, then a personalised baby book is a fantastic gift idea! Especially with Father’s Day almost upon us (it falls on Sunday, June 15) – these books are the perfect thoughtful Father’s Day present that will be treasured forever.
You’re still in time for delivery, but don’t leave it too long – since these special books are personalised and one of a kind they do require processing time before they’re out for delivery.
We tried to choose books that looked easy to created. Brands such as Wonderbly, Etsy, Letterfest and Papier are all in the business of making these products and make the process as easy as possible for customers.
I wanted to ensure all the books listed in this feature have a speedy delivery option.
All you need to do is spend a few minutes filling out the unique details of your family – names and ages of kids, mum or dad’s name and interests, and you can create a sweet bedtime story that mum and the kids can enjoy together again and again.
Older children can also get in on the act – there are some options (both humorous and thoughtful) that you can give to dad to make him smile and show him you care…
