Ideas and gift guides for Dad
The gift Dad keeps
Dads are famously hard to buy for. He says he doesn't want anything, and then keeps every card you've ever given him in the bedside drawer. A book of reasons is the gift that finally says it: the lift home at 2am, the terrible jokes you now tell yourself, the way he clapped loudest at every school play.
You answer a few questions about him, we help you write fifty reasons in your own words, and you choose how the two of you are illustrated on the cover and through the book. You approve every page before anything is printed.
Stuck for a first line? Borrow from our 60 reasons why I love you, Dad, or let the free reasons generator draft ten from your memories. Shopping for the holidays? Here are 40 Christmas gifts for dad.
What's a good personalized gift for Dad?+
Something he couldn't buy himself. A book of fifty reasons, written from your memories and illustrated with characters that look like the two of you, gives him the words most dads never hear out loud, and it lasts longer than socks.
Is it a good Father's Day gift?+
Yes, it's made for it, and just as good for his birthday, Christmas or a retirement. Father's Day is Sunday 20 June 2027 in the UK and the US. The digital book opens as soon as you pay, so it works even when you've left it late.
Can I make it for a grandad, stepdad or father figure?+
Yes. The questions work for anyone who showed up like a dad. Change the wording on the cover, and for grandparents see our grandparent books.
How much does it cost?+
The digital book is £9 ($12) and the hardcover is £39 ($49), with the digital book included. Ordering is open: make your book, read every page, then order the digital book or a printed copy.
