2020 has been a year to remember, but one which many would probably prefer to forget. For The Book of Everyone we have to count our lucky stars. Our team remained healthy and as an online personalised gifts business, we were relatively well positioned to ride the storm. Looking back…
This morning I’m drinking my tea out a mug personalised to Josep. Josep was the youngest (and craziest) member of our tech team not so long ago. He wore his heart on his sleeve, fell in love most days and his youthful exuberance could be felt within a 40km radius. We have 24 mugs in the office and sadly many no longer have their namesake sipping from them.

June’s been hot, sticky, and busy for us. Father’s Day is a big event at The Book of Everyone. Not just because of The Book of Dad – but because many of us are fathers ourselves. To celebrate fathers everywhere, our design team cooked up beautiful new door hangers just…
Thank you all for being a part of The Book of Everyone in 2016. I hope your books brought a little joy and sunshine wherever they landed. When we started The Book of Everyone back in 2013, our goal was to ‘create gift heroes one book at a time’. To…
