Mother's Day can be a tricky one,
especially where my Mum is concerned. She's not your typical Mum, she's not into toiletries or bath sets, she's an amazing cook but she doesn't bake, she's not keen on
chocolate or anything sweet really. she's not a massive fan of flowers in the
house and doesn't enjoy being pampered. She doesn't wear a lot of jewellery and
doesn't even like shopping for clothes! She's always preferred to spend her
money on us kids than herself. It's sweet but it makes buying her a present really tough!
Anything personal and thoughtful is the way
forward for Mum, something that really means something.
The Book of Mum looked like
something that would work. A book designed just for her. It's described as the “perfect personalised gift
for friends, family and partners”
The book is from The Book of Everyone who create books personalised to
the person it is for and it takes no time at all. They say “each book
is filled with amazing personalised facts, wonderful statistics and all told
through a nostalgic glance back to the world the person was born into.” It sounded like a really
interesting concept and unlike any other personalised book I'd seen before.
Ordering
the book was really easy, you
simply enter the name of who it’s for, followed by their birthday, it then sets to work
finding out interesting facts about the year they were born. I liked the little
machine churning away while the page loaded – that was a nice touch and really
made me feel like something great was being created – I wasn’t wrong!
There’s
a choice of 9 colours for the cover, I decided on the pale pink. You scroll through the 50 pages and preview each page as
you go along. There’s a little pencil symbol
for the pages that you can customise even further to make the book have a
more personal touch.
My mum has always taught us that the first one
to shout loses the argument and I wanted to make sure that was in there as it's
one of her great words of wisdom that we all live by.
Some of the pages are
easily revamped by simply changing background designs to something more suited
to the person it is for. I liked that the designs vary so much and it's not
just a case of changing a colur scheme.
Even the pages that you can't change are all
still beautifully designed and full of fascinating information.
It was
a lot of fun to create and I found out some great facts. There’s really
interesting bits of trivia throughout the book such as
how many heart beats she's had so far and the world events in the year she
was born. I think it's great for anyone to read, I found it really interesting! I wanted to make sure I filed it with pictures of the family too.
It comes in a digital version for £7.50, a softcover book for £19.50 or
hardback for £29.50. There’s also a deluxe edition for £49.50 which is presented in a box with a ribbon marker, padded covers
silk head and tails and printed on mohawk paper, the price also includes a digital version and shipping to mainland UK
is included too.
The book is such a perfect present milestone birthdays or for unique gift for a new baby. It's definitely one of those thoughtful gifts you want to keep.
