They would never write
their own story.
So gift it to them.

அன்பை ஒரு புத்தகமாகக் கொடுங்கள்.

Your father will never commission his own memoir. Your parents will never make their own wedding book. Gift-a-Book solves this: you give the gift, we do the rest, and they simply share their story.

How gifting works

Three simple steps

1

You gift

Choose a book (memoir, family story, birthday, or wedding) and receive a beautiful printed or digital gift certificate to present on the day.

2

They share

We invite the recipient gently, by WhatsApp or a home interview, to share their story. Because the gift is already given, they say yes.

3

Everyone treasures

We write, design, quality-check, and print the book, delivering copies to both giver and recipient.

When words alone aren't enough

Amma's 60th birthday Appa's retirement Grandparents' 50th anniversary A wedding gift for the couple Parents living far away பொங்கல் · தீபாவளி பரிசு

A daughter in London gifts her mother's memoir. We interview Amma at home in Chennai, in Tamil, and the finished book flies back across the ocean to her shelf.

A gift certificate presented on an anniversary. Three months later, the family gathers again for the real gift: the finished book, and the look on their faces.

Surprise gifts: planned in secret, revealed with tears

The most powerful gift is the one nobody saw coming. For a 60th or 75th birthday, a retirement, or an anniversary, we build the whole book behind the scenes and deliver it in time for the reveal at the function.

  • We secretly collect messages, wishes, and photos from family, friends, and colleagues
  • A dedicated coordinator runs a private WhatsApp group and keeps the secret safe
  • Old photographs gathered and restored without the person ever knowing
  • Delivered gift-wrapped before the function date, planned backwards from your event
