HOW IT WORKS
a small advance to start — around ₹3,000. tell us who the book is for
we send you a wish link and a message to forward — you send us any extra photos you have. once we see how much has come in, we help you pick the size and finish, and tell you what is left to pay
you always know what you are paying for before it goes to print
OCCASIONS
a book for each moment
AND MANY MORE
IN THEIR WORDS
notes we keep on the wall
“I sent them a messy Google Drive of 300 photos from our pregnancy — what came back was the most beautiful book I've ever seen”
“we added the wish link to all our wedding invites, and everything came out perfect — easy for everyone to upload, now our friends are doing this too”
“they didn't just print our photos — they asked about our story, understood what mattered, and designed a book that felt like us”
THE MAKING
how every custom book comes together
we talk first, design second
no template — we ask who the book is for and what it should feel like before we design anything
paper built to last
heavy, archival-grade, FSC-certified stock — the kind that holds up for decades, not just for a shelf
videos work on paper too
every video becomes a QR code on the page — point a phone at it and it plays
made to order
most custom books take three to six weeks — we send you a proof before anything gets printed
PRICING
book pricing depends on what you want to include — wishes, personalised journey pages, memories, and so on. most people get a standard book for around ₹10,000, which includes wishes from about 60 people (with videos), pages of personalised fun facts, and an illustrated journey of the person growing up. fewer wishes or no videos costs less; a built-in video screen or premium layflat binding costs more.
