Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need the photos to buy the gift?
Not necessarily. You can start a free preview and share the preview link with a parent (or whoever has the photos) to upload images or make tweaks before purchase.
Can I ship the hardcover book directly to the recipient?
Yes. At checkout you can choose the shipping address, so you can send it to the recipient instead of your own address.
What if the preview doesn’t look right?
Try a clearer photo (good lighting, face-forward), or contact us for help. We want it to feel recognizable before you order.
How long does delivery take?
Digital books are delivered via email within 2 business days. Hardcover books ship in up to 14 business days (US).
Can I include family members and pets?
Many stories support adding siblings, parents, grandparents, and pets as supporting characters. You’ll see the available options as you build your preview.
