Christmas 2026
This Christmas, give them the story of you two.
A personalised Christmas gift nobody else can buy: your love story written as a real novel, from the first date to today. Start by 22 November and approve the text by 1 December for a hardback in time for Christmas (estimate).
First 5 messages free, no account or credit card. Free first page before you pay.
No account, no commitment
Start with one memory from your first year together
Your Story Director asks about how you met, the places that matter and the small habits only the two of you know. The first page is free, and nothing is paid until you like it.
Tell your story; it becomes your book. Your first 5 messages are free — no account, no credit card. You only create your space if you want to keep going, and nothing you shared is lost.
Your Story Director
Hi, and welcome. I'm your Story Director, an AI assistant. Over the next few minutes, I'll gather your memories — the big ones and the tiny ones — to prepare the story of the two of you. Take your time; there are no wrong answers. To start, what's your first name, and what's your partner's?

Why a book is the Christmas gift they will keep
Most Christmas presents are used up by January. A book about your relationship stays on the shelf and comes down again every December. It says what a card rarely manages to: that you remember the details.
It is written from what you tell the Story Director, never invented, and you read and correct every chapter before approving it. Photos are welcome but optional.
Timing for Christmas 2026: start the conversation by 22 November, approve the final text by 1 December for the hardback (printed in the UK, printing and tracked delivery estimated at 6 to 9 working days, with Royal Mail slower in December). The digital edition is usually ready within 48 hours of payment and a complete brief, so it still works until about 21 December. These are estimates, not guaranteed dates.
Who it works for at Christmas
Your wife or girlfriend
The first date, the proposal, the flat with the broken boiler: the moments she still talks about, finally written down.
Your husband or boyfriend
For the man who says he wants nothing: a gift he did not see coming and will actually read.
Your parents
Their story as a couple, told by you and your siblings, to open together on Christmas morning.

How it works
From your memories to a finished book
1
Tell your story, for free
Talk with your Story Director, an AI interviewer that asks the right questions. Your first 5 messages need no account; then create a free account to keep the same conversation.
2
Read your free first page
Once your brief is complete, you get a free first page and a suggested cover. You only pay when you decide to start writing the full book.
3
Review and approve
Your book is written from your memories, then you read it. Ask for as many corrections to the existing text as you need before your final approval.
4
Receive your book
Download the PDF and EPUB. Printed editions are laminated hardbacks, printed in the UK and delivered to your door.
What to expect
Honest about AI
The writing is AI-assisted. Check names, dates, relationships and sensitive passages: a smooth sentence can still contain a mistake. In all nine packages, corrections to the existing text are unlimited before your final approval. This does not include a free reprint after approval.
Realistic timing
Estimated timing: the digital edition is usually ready within 48 hours of payment and a complete brief, whatever the package. Printed books are printed in the UK; printing and tracked delivery within the UK are estimated at 6 to 9 working days after your final approval. Dispatch is not arrival: also allow time to gather memories and to review and correct the text. These are estimates, not a guaranteed delivery date.
Frequently asked questions
What is the last date to order for Christmas 2026?
For the hardback delivered in the UK, start by 22 November and approve the final text by 1 December. For the digital edition only, complete your brief by about 21 December. These are estimates, not guarantees.
Can I keep it a surprise?
Yes. You can answer the questions on your own, from your own memories. Choose a delivery address where the parcel will not be opened by the person receiving the gift.
What if I run out of time?
Give the digital edition, or wrap a printed card announcing the book and finish the conversation together over the holidays.
Is it written by AI?
The text is written with AI assistance from your own memories only. You read every chapter and ask for corrections before approving it.
Is gift wrapping included?
No. The printed book arrives ready for you to wrap your way.
