What do you give a workaholic with no time for hobbies for his 50th birthday? Daddy P, as regular readers will know, works insanely long hours and has very little time for anything away from his warehouse. Buying him presents is always a nightmare, buying him something for his 50th …… a total headache. I paid for the three of us to go away for a long weekend, but what could Monkey get him? We recently discovered The Book of Everyone and I knew I’d found the answer to my problem.
You all know I love a personalised book, well for once you can judge the book by its cover. The Book of Everyone is exactly that, a book for everyone. Whether you’re looking for a birthday present, Valentines, or maybe something a little different for a Christmas present, it’s all covered.
Personalisation starts right from the cover, you can choice the colour of the cover and name. Enter the name, sex and date of birth. Clarify whether you want their age shown in the book as their age now, or their next birthday. Perfect for us, to ensure the reference is to the big 50! Add in a dedication and your relationship to the recipient and you are ready to preview your book and make edits through the pages.
You can go with the template suggested, add messages and even change the design of certain pages. Plus you get to see your edit as you progress through the book.
With The Book of Everyone you can change colour schemes for certain pages and add in really specific details. Everyone who knows Monkey, knows that. Pizza really is the love of his life
As the book comes together you can really see that as well as being fun, it’s actually full of facts about the year your recipient was born, as well as their star sign. From Number One hits to top TV shows, the book is full of nostalgia and just the sort of thing Daddy P will enjoy.
Of course we had to make sure fruit and veg got a mention somewhere.
You can opt for a paperback, digital or hardback version of The Book of Everyone. There’s even a deluxe version which comes complete with presentation box and padded cover. I opted for the hardback version for £29.50. There’s also a gift-wrapping option for £2.99 should you require it.
Delivery was prompt, and the finish of the book is just lovely. It’s a lovely keepsake and something just a little different. We’ve been really pleased with our The Book of Everyone and Daddy P won’t forget he’s now 50 in a hurry!

She has invited us over for Halloween weekend this week and even though I am now 32 as part of her preparations I received a Howarts invitation letter through the post! She keeps the magic alive.
