Valentine’s Day is a great opportunity to show how much you love and appreciate your better half.  Unfortunately, in our busy lives we often see it just as an obligation and end up buying flowers and chocolate or a tie and a gift card in the last minute.  Sounds familiar, but not too romantic, agree?

It’s a nice gesture, but think about this.

Do you want to say “Hey, I knew you’d be mad if I forgot Valentine’s day, so I stopped at a gas station on my way home from work” OR do you want them to think “You are special to me, I appreciate you very much, and I believe you are a great parent to our child, so I put some thought into it, and I’m sure you will enjoy this gift I made for you for years to come”.

Yes, it says “I made for you” in there.

Hold on. We didn’t say you have to learn to write sonnets or paint a new Mona Lisa. You just have to follow 5 simple steps to create a book starring mommy or daddy and the baby, and happy tears are almost sure to follow. See, It’s really a simple process to create a book BUT that doesn’t mean you won’t have to put some thought in it. 

So how do I do it?

First, pick your book. That’s the hard part, as they are all awesome. Then, the personalization process starts. In a couple of clicks you will be able to name the characters in the book and select their features to create the spitting image of your loved ones. Next, you will be able to read through all the stories and choose your favorite 10. Now the only thing left to do is the dedication. 

We kept a page for you to write your own personal dedication. We did our best with the pre-written ones, but let’s not deny it, that “blank page” – it can work wonders if you let your imagination run wild and make it personal in a way only you can.  And if you’d like some advice on how to write a great dedication, we’ve got an entire article on that as well!

Go on, give it a try (full preview is available before you order).
