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.

Unfortunately I ordered 2 books and only one arrived it was in a sorry state gutted as I ordered them as Christmas gifts but once I contacted the company they gave me a full refund so their customer service is spot on may consider re ordering in the future just unfortunate about my order on this occasion

Book received
Book received, and looks really good, some pages are a bit mis printed but I guess that's due to the newspaper it being copied, lovely present and I hope my husbands likes this as its for his 65th birthday. Only disappointed was I believed that the name would be printed on the front but it was not, however it was explained to me by return email (quick customer service)m that I needed to add the embossed in gold bit (£5 extra) which I would have been happy to pay, but this was not made clear when completing the form, so be aware it dosen't make it clear this is for the "Name" to be added.

Ordered and paid for next day delivery
Ordered and paid for next day delivery. The book has failed to turn up and now its at the weekend there is no point of contact.

Love the book
Love the book. The inside label is a bit confusing. My love note is addressed to a full name. It is fine, but I would rather it just say his first.
CMDP30 Oct 2020
Was a really bad experience
Was a really bad experience, will not be using again. Ordered 4 books, received the wrong order, I emailed “customer service” numerous times which was lacking in any help! I had paid for the 48 hr service an finally got my books after 16 days! A total disgrace and really unsatisfactory for their customer base!
