The Christmas gift that stars their pet.
For the friend who talks about their dog like a person, or the family whose cat runs the house. From one photo, we draw their pet as a storybook character and write a 12-page illustrated bedtime story all about them.
One story £9.99 £6.99. No posting, no waiting: it's ready in minutes, even on Christmas Eve.
What's in the gift box

- A new picture on every page
- A story link to send on Christmas morning
- A PDF to print, wrap and keep
How to give a story
Borrow a photo
One clear photo of their pet is all we need. A favourite from their social media works well, so the surprise stays a surprise.
Answer five quirky questions
What does the dog steal? Where does the cat hide? Fill in what you know; every question is optional.
Give it your way
Unlock all 12 pages, then send the story link on Christmas morning or print the PDF, roll it up with a ribbon and pop it under the tree.
You'll need a free account to make the story. The first page is free, so you can see it before you pay.
Gift prices
Paid once, VAT included. No subscription.
Launch price until 29 November.
About £8.33 a story. Make one for each of three friends' pets, or keep one for your own.
Good to know
Will it arrive in time for Christmas?
Yes. It's digital, so nothing goes in the post. The cartoon takes about a minute and the story is ready a few minutes later.
Does the person I'm buying for need to do anything?
No. You make the story in your own account. They just open the link, or unwrap the printed pages.
What if the pet is no longer with them?
Tick the memorial box and the story becomes a gentle one about their favourite memories, ending with their pet as a star over home.
