Why it works for Secret Santa
Secret Santa has a budget and an audience. The budget rules out most things worth keeping; the audience remembers the gift that made the room laugh. A storybook with your person drawn in fits the budget and gets passed round.

More on printing the PDF and choosing the photo.
Does it fit a ten-dollar limit?
Yes, it comes in under ten dollars. And you can see your character free before you decide.
How do I give a digital gift at a party?
Print the PDF and fold the cover into a card, or bring the first page printed and send the private link as it is opened. On paper it looks planned.
Is it good for a white elephant exchange?
Yes, as long as you make it for the group’s favorite person, or the host. The book that stars someone everyone knows is the one that gets stolen.
What photo do I need?
One clear photo where the face is visible. A photo from a team event or a shared album works.
