You’ve probably seen a personalised children's book online, whether it's one of ours, or maybe one of our competitors’. Maybe you thought “that’s sweet!” before adding it to your basket, but never actually completed the purchase.
We’re going to tell you why personalised children’s books are worth it:
1. They Make Children the Main Character in the Story
Personalised children’s books make the child the main character in the story. This helps them develop a strong sense of self-confidence, as they read about themselves as the hero in the adventure. This also boosts children’s engagement, making them more invested in the story unfolding in front of them. In a largely digital world that competes for both our and our children’s attention, it is crucial to have these alternatives to fast-paced screens.
2. Gifting a Personalised Book to a Child Builds a Stronger Emotional Connection Between the Child and the Giver
Receiving a beautifully illustrated book all about themselves is a memory and a keepsake they’ll hold onto forever. As they grow, they’ll always remember you for gifting it to them. Particularly if you leave a heartfelt gift message inside. This emotional connection will only grow deeper as you read the book together at bedtime, a bonding experience that will become a life-long memory.
3. Boosts Literacy and Reading Enjoyment
This year, the National Literacy Trust reported that children are reading less than ever before. With just 1 in 3 children and young people reading for pleasure in 2025, this presents a sharp decrease in reading enjoyment, which is why it’s more important than ever to get children reading in any way possible. So, what better way to get your child to enjoy reading than engage them with a story about themselves!
4. Encourages Imagination and Self-Belief
Seeing and reading about themselves in leading, confident positions will raise a child’s self-esteem, filling them with self-belief from an early age. We recommend affirming books about the child and their relationship with the caregivers, to reiterate just how loved they are, here are some of our favourites.
5. Makes for a Meaningful Keepsake
As mentioned earlier, any personalised gift with a printed gift message inside makes a beautiful and meaningful life-long keepsake. If gifted at a special occasion or for a memorable birthday, the keepsake will always remind them of both you and their special day.
6. Suitable for Any Occasion
There is such a wide range of personalised books available which means there is no limit to when or where they can be gifted. Whether it’s a first Christmas, a Christening, or even a birthday, personalised children’s books make the most thoughtful gift for any occasion.
