By occasion
What can I give a child who already has everything, or something other than another toy?
A good alternative is a personal gift they can read, share, and keep: a personalised book in which they are the main character, with their name, their appearance, and a special dedication. Mumablue prints every book in physical format, so it becomes a keepsake of their childhood. You can choose stories about pirates, pets, or fantasy according to their interests.
What can I give a child for their birthday to surprise them?
“Happy Birthday!” is a personalised birthday book for kids aged 2 to 5 in which the little one is the main character of their own celebration. You can add a dedication to remember the day. If the birthday child is older, the catalogue has other stories for every age and interest.
What can I give a child for Christmas that's different?
In “Your little one saves Christmas”, for kids aged 3 to 6, the main character helps Father Christmas on a Christmas adventure that mixes fantasy, wonder, and cooperation. If you want the whole family to take part, “Christmas together” lets you include up to 2 adults and 3 children.
What can I give for Father's Day?
“We love you so much, Dad!” is a personalised book for little ones to tell their dad how much they love him: to a child, a dad is a wizard, a superhero, the genie of a lamp who grants wishes... and they will let him know. Another option is “Dad, you're the best in the world!”, in which up to 3 little ones can appear alongside their dad. In both you can add a special dedication.
What can I give for Mother's Day?
“We love you so much, Mum!” is a personalised book in which the little one or ones tell their mum how much they love her, with scenes full of tenderness and touches of humour. Another option is “Mum, you are the best in the world!”, in which up to 3 little ones can appear alongside their mum. In both you can add a special dedication.
What can I give for Grandparents' Day?
“The best grandparents in the world” is a special edition of “Together” in which grandma and grandad become the main characters alongside their grandchildren in the same adventure. It is a personalised book for little ones to tell their grandparents how much they love them, and it is also a way to thank them for helping to look after the grandchildren or to celebrate a birthday.
What can I give for the arrival of a baby?
“Welcome to the world!” is a personalised book for babies in which different characters come to the little one's welcome party and each leaves them a lesson. It is full of tenderness and values, and it is ideal for reading to the baby and showing them how important they are to their family. If there is already an older sibling at home, “Your little one and their new little brother” helps them through the baby's arrival.
What can I give for a christening or a first communion?
There is no book made specifically for these celebrations, but a personalised book with a special dedication is a keepsake of the day that can be read and treasured. For a christening, “Welcome to the world!” is a book for babies made to welcome them. For a first communion or slightly older children, you can choose from the catalogue according to their age and interests.
What can I give a child who is starting school?
There is no book made specifically for the first day of school, but some can keep them company at this stage: “Your little one's emotions” teaches them to recognise and manage joy, sadness, fear, anger and calm, and “Bubbles” (aged 3-6) deals with confidence and fear of the unknown.
By age
What's an original gift for a child aged 2 to 6?
For kids aged 2 to 6 there are stories about adventures, animals, emotions, and family, always with the little one as the main character.

At these ages many kids enjoy challenges, adventures, and observation games. Some options: “Your little one and the pirate treasure” (aged 6-8) and “Your little one and FC Barcelona” (5-9).
For the family
Which personalised book should I give to two siblings or the whole family?
“Together” lets you create a personalised book with up to 3 children and 2 adults in the same story, so it works for siblings, parents, grandparents, or other relatives. It has no age limit and is designed to celebrate family bonds and share reading across generations. For younger siblings, “Sweet Heroes” (aged 1-7) also has two main characters.
What can I give grandparents who already have everything?

Mumablue has personalised books for grandma and for grandad, as well as “The best grandparents in the world”, and with “Together” grandparents and grandchildren can share the spotlight in the same adventure.
What can I give Mum or Dad?
Mumablue has personalised books for mum and for dad, such as “Mum, you are the best in the world!”, “Dad, you're the best in the world!”, or “We love you so much, Mum!” and “We love you so much, Dad!”, in which up to 3 little ones can appear alongside the adult. They are a good option for Mother's Day and Father's Day.
