Why it works for a boyfriend

Boyfriends are hard to buy for early on and harder later, once the easy gifts are used up. A story your boyfriend stars in is personal without being heavy: funny, specific and made from a photo you took. It says you pay attention, which is the whole point of a gift.

Ways to give it

  1. Send the link at midnight on the birthday.
  2. Print the cover as a card and hand over the rest on your phone.
  3. Read it together on a call if you live apart.

Is this too soft a gift?

Look at the pages below before you decide. The drawing is closer to a comic than a greeting card, and the stories are races, capes and training montages rather than declarations.

Can I show him before his birthday?

You will see the whole thing first — the character, then every page — and the book sits behind a private link until you send it. Nothing is posted anywhere by us.

Is it too much for a new relationship?

Usually not, because the stories are funny rather than romantic. The snack heist or the wildest race reads as a joke you share.

Can I make one for each of us?

Yes. Each book stars one person, so couples often make two and swap.
