What's a good last-minute personalised gift for a child?
A good last-minute personalised gift is one you can make today with things you already have: an illustrated storybook starring the child, ready the same day and given as a printed QR gift card; a home treasure hunt with clues about them; or a framed letter about what makes them special.
Ideas you can make today
- A personalised storybook where the child is the hero, printed at home.
- A treasure hunt with clues about their favourite things.
- A “reasons we love you” jar with notes from the family.
- A homemade comic starring them and their friends.
- A voucher book: a trip, a movie night, a day where they choose.

More questions
Can I make it without the child knowing?
Yes. Add the photos and pick a story yourself, then print the gift card for the big day.
