Your child takes the starring role in this fun rhyming tale from the night before Christmas.
Your child’s name appears on the cover
Write a special message on the title page
Hand-drawn illustrations on every page
Available in softback, hardback or classic hardback
Add a luxury gift box for a thoughtful finishing touch
In this funny and charming tale, it’s Christmas Eve and every child is leaving scrumptious mince pies for Santa as he makes his way around the world, delivering presents for good boys and girls. However, Santa has eaten one pie too many and his growing tummy causes him to get stuck in the chimney!
Luckily your child is on hand, taking on the role of the heroic dog who helps free Santa! Written in jolly rhyming verse, your child plays a starring role in our personalised Santa storybook with their name throughout the story and sprinkled across the colourful illustrations. For a special keepsake, the hardcover edition comes with your little one’s name embossed in gold. With three fantastic covers to choose from, you’ll be able to create the perfect gift in time for Christmas.
How To Personalise Your Santa Book
Personalise your book with any name up to 12 characters, which will be printed on the cover and featured throughout the book in the story and illustrations. Add a personal message of two lines, up to 40 characters per line, which will appear on the title page.
There are three cover options to choose from: The A4 softback and A4 hardback are available in the standard cover. The classic hardback is bound in a premium hardcover with gold lettering. Why not add a luxury gift box for a thoughtful finishing touch?
When entering your personalisation, please note that accents, emojis and other symbols can’t be used as our system doesn’t support these. Make sure to double check your spelling!

I wish that the main character was not a dog-a child or an elf would have been better. It was an original story, which I was looking for, so kudos to you for having one. Pricey, but a good keepsake.

I ordered this personalised book for my Granddaughter. A third into the book the name changed to that of her dog which was a bit confusing. I was told that the story is told through the eyes of the dog but this is not made clear when ordering.

Shipping takes forever but...
I recieved my book without ever knowing it had shipped. The tracking service did not work one time with my order. I ordered this well in advance of a birthday party and was greatful I did so since it took over 3 weeks to receive. That being said....the book is beautiful and exactly what i was expecting. The entire family loves it.

Delayed delivery and book cover was damaged
There were delays with delivery but this was due to Covid-19 restrictions. Would’ve appreciated an email to update me about this. The book was nice however, I was slightly disappointed that the cover had scratch marks on it and slightly damaged at the corners. Overall, lovely gift idea but disappointed about the damages considering how expensive the product is.
