A few things you might be wondering.
From personalisation and previews to printing, delivery and everything in between.
About the books
How are the books personalised?
Each book is shaped around your child and the people who are important to them. You’ll choose who to include, add photographs and personal messages, and make simple selections that personalise the story.
Can I see what the book is like before I order?
Yes. You can watch our page-turning video and explore a complete sample book before deciding to purchase.
What’s the difference between the editions and story lengths?
The edition determines the physical format and finish of your book. The Classic Edition is a smaller landscape keepsake with a linen hardcover, satin paper and durable PUR binding. The Signature Edition is a larger portrait keepsake with a premium linen hardcover, traditional section-sewn binding, textured archival-quality paper and additional illustrations throughout.
The story length determines how much content and personalisation is included. The Short Story focuses on 3–5 of your child’s most important people, while the Full Story allows for 3–9 people, includes additional story sections and offers an optional remembrance section.
Both choices work together, so you can select the edition and story length that best suit your family.
Can I include someone who has passed away?
Yes. Several personalisation choices work especially well for someone who has passed away, and the Full Story has an optional remembrance section.
Creating your book
What happens after I order?
After your purchase, we’ll automatically email you a guided personalisation form. You can then choose who to include, upload photographs, add messages and make the selections that shape your story
Do I need to write the story myself?
Not at all. The story is thoughtfully written already, and we guide you through simple choices that make it personal.
What kind of photos should I use?
They don’t need to be professional. Choose meaningful photographs that are reasonably clear; we’ll check them and contact you if anything may not reproduce well.
What happens after I submit my personalisation form?
Once your completed personalisation form and all required information have been received, we’ll create and check your book and send you a digital flipbook proof within 2–4 working days. This timeframe starts when the completed form is submitted, not when the book is purchased
Will I see my finished book before it’s printed?
Absolutely. Nothing is printed until you’ve reviewed the online digital flipbook and given final approval.
Printing & delivery
Who prints the books?
Our books are professionally printed and bound by MILK Books, a specialist premium photo-book and album maker.
How long will my book take?
Once your completed personalisation form is submitted, allow 2–4 working days for your digital flipbook proof. You can then request changes and approve the final book. From final approval, allow approximately 12–20 working days for printing, binding and delivery within New Zealand. For an important date, we recommend allowing approximately 4–5 weeks from submitting your completed form.
Can I track my order?
Yes. Once your finished book is dispatched, you’ll receive tracking information.
Where do you deliver?
At launch, we deliver within New Zealand only. Shipping is $15 for the first book and $8 for each additional book in the same order. There is no rural surcharge.
Changes & problems
Can I make changes to my book?
Yes, while reviewing your flipbook. Changes are no longer possible after final approval and printing begins.
What if my book arrives damaged or there’s a problem with it?
Contact us as soon as possible. Keep the packaging and take photographs of the packaging and book so we can arrange help with our printing partner.
Can I return my book?
Personalised books cannot be returned for change of mind after approval and printing. If your book is damaged, faulty or differs from what you approved, please contact us.
