Celebrate the momentous occasion of a new baby with this “ The Day You Were Born” book. Nothing compares to the feeling of becoming a first-time parent and moments like this are the memories that need to be remembered. With this special baby book, the parent and child will do just that. Written in rhyme, the parent will reminisce the proud moment their new bundle of joy was brought into this world; how the parent wished upon a star to soon meet their precious babe, and how how much love there was on this special day the baby was born.
This The Day You Were Born baby book is a touching keepsake. The parents and baby will bond over the precious gift for years to come as the book will become a symbol of the little one’s childhood years. The book itself is even available in blue or pink. Having the child’s name embossed on the cover will make the gift more special to behold and parents will be besotted by the personalised nod.
There’s even space on the opening title page for a heartfelt message to dedicate to the parents and baby. They’ll open up the book, read it and then reminisce the special day their baby came into this world and was loved from the moment on.

Precioso regalo para un bebé recién nacido. A los nuevos papis les encantó 😍
Preciosas ilustraciones, buena calidad y un regalo muy original al ser personalizado. Otros amigos esperan un bebé este año y seguro volveré a comprar este libro!
Fabulous, such a beautiful book with personalisation; my granddaughter will love it

Very disappointed in the book
Very disappointed in the book, misleading certificate on title page looks like a small sticker I could have placed on myself, poor value for money- quick dispatch was the best bit

Constant calls about delivery
Constant calls about delivery. The people on the phone actually have no control over when an item gets sent out so it was just constantly false information. I actually didn’t need the item after it arrived late, but I couldn’t stand speaking to them on the phone again to go over the refund process which they probably would have not allowed as it was personalised.
Really bad experience

Thank you for your review.
We have looked into your order details and can see that the operators tried to assist as best as they could under the circumstances.
Your order was placed late on the 14th meaning that officially this would go into production on Thursday the 15th and was therefore quoted delivery between the 16th and 20th which does include production time as well as delivery due to the bespoke nature of this product. You then requested to have this delivered by the 16th giving us a day to process the order when we usually allow between 1-2 working days for production so when you upgraded the order it did cause some confusion but despite the inconvenience caused, we tried our very best to process the order as quickly as possible which was then delivered on the Saturday which is not a guaranteed day for delivery.
With that in mind and the time frame in which we were given (less than a day to process the personalised gift) your order was processed and despatched with delivery being one day later than expected, we are so pleased to hear that after every effort made, you have received a really bad experience.
We can confirm that a refund has been processed a gesture for the difference paid for your delivery.
Kindest regards In the Book.

Ordered and paid for a book for my…
Ordered and paid for a book for my mother, promised delivery was july 16-21. Today is the 26th and your website has no info on my order, nothing, and obviously no delivery. Yet, my bank account clearly shows a $99.98 payment to inthebook on july 7, 2021. Update: Inthebook contacted me the next morning, updated me on the shipping and my mother’s book arrived the next day. She’s 84 and it’s been awhile since I’ve seen her tears of joy. All’s well that ends well. Thank you, and I’ve updated my review to reflect 5 stars.

Thank you for your review.
We can see that you have contacted our customer service team who have provided your tracking information and a screenshot of your expected delivery which is now showing as delivered as of July 27, 2021 at 11:26 am.
The website does provide your order information when you enter your email address and full zip code, if that is unsuccessful we do provide our contact information within your email confirmation.
Due to the delay in delivery we have requested a refund for your delivery cost and hope that this will go towards an apology. If you need any further assistance, please email us at [email protected]
Kind regards In the Book.
