A long-distance gift you can open together

Send one photo of your partner. The book arrives as a link, so you can read it together on a call.

Why it works across a distance

Posting a gift abroad means customs forms, delays and a parcel that arrives after the day. A storybook that arrives as a link reaches any phone the moment it is ready, and turns a video call into an occasion: you both turn the pages at the same time.

Ways to give it

  1. Open it together on a video call, page by page.
  2. Send it to land at midnight in your partner’s time zone.
  3. Print it at your end and keep a copy of the same book.

More on printing the PDF and choosing the photo.

Does it work if we live in different countries?

Yes. The book is a private link and a PDF, so it reaches any phone or inbox you can send a link to. Nothing is shipped, so nothing is delayed.

How do we read it together?

Open the link on a video call and turn the pages at the same time, or send the link ahead and save the first read for the call.

Can I order from the US and send it abroad?

Yes. You order in the US, Canada, Australia or New Zealand; the book is a private link and a PDF, so you can send it anywhere.

What if the photo I have is from a video call?

A screenshot works if the face is clear and sharp. A photo taken with a camera usually gives a closer likeness.
