Last hesitations

It's the same product, in two different demonstration versions. Juliana & Alfred (the page you are reading) is a recent couple, who met in 2022, no children yet: the demonstration speaks to younger couples wanting to immortalize a fresh story. Eva & Daniel is a mature couple, married since 1996, three children, an anniversary trip to the Maldives: the demonstration speaks to silver, gold and beyond wedding anniversaries, as well as to adult children looking for a parent gift. You can of course use this book for any story, the process is identical.

A personalized couple book is an illustrated album that tells a couple's story: how they met, their first dates, the trips that mattered, the proposal, the wedding, the daily life that lasts. At Spark Stories, every page is painted in watercolor, and the two partners are pictured through their own portraits.

The couple book is the gift lovers will still talk about years later. Where a bottle of champagne disappears in one evening, the book stays on the coffee table, then in the bookshelf. It's the object you'll open again on every anniversary, to read together what already happened.

When a couple has already ticked off their wedding registry, a personalized book does the opposite: it's a one-of-a-kind object, that no one else can give as a duplicate, and that speaks of them. It's the original couple gift that will come out at every dinner with friends.

Our book comes in two formats: softcover at €57, hardcover at €69. The price includes the composition of the story, the watercolor illustration of every page, printing in Europe on FSC paper, and delivery. It's the price of a beautiful art book, and it lasts a lifetime.

Every piece of information that feels important to your story: your first names, the date and place where you met, the milestones that mattered (first date, trips, proposal, wedding), the anecdotes that belong only to you, the phrases you want to keep, and one or several photos of the couple to compose the watercolor portraits. You can also add a personal dedication. The more you share, the more the book becomes yours, the one you reread for years, where memories never fade.

Yes, and it is in fact a much-loved wedding anniversary gift. If you'd rather the couple compose the book themselves with their own memories, you can offer a Spark Stories gift card: they then have two years to compose the book when they are ready, and receive the printed book in 5 to 12 business days.

Absolutely. Valentine's Day is the perfect occasion to compose the book yourself for your partner, bringing in your most precious memories: how you met, your trips, the phrases that belong only to the two of you. You offer an object written entirely around your love, and it's one of the most heartfelt gifts you can prepare.

Of course. Many loved ones choose to give this gift in the weeks or months following the event, the time to gather photos and stories. The Spark Stories gift card is valid for two years: the couple composes the book whenever they are ready and receives the printed book in 5 to 12 business days.

They are only used to compose the illustrated portraits. They are erased immediately after, never kept, never shared. You can also delete the portraits from your account space, or keep them to create other books.

Everything stays editable after the order, the text as well as the illustrations. You adjust every page until it looks like you, and nothing goes to print without your approval.

Creating your book takes about fifteen minutes. Printing and shipping then take 5 to 12 business days, depending on your location and the shipping option you choose.

Yes, up to three. Dog, cat or any other companion, each gets their watercolor portrait and their place in the story, like a quiet witness of the years spent together.

Of course, they are an integral part of the story. There are none in Juliana & Alfred's example simply because they don't have any yet. If you have children, they appear in the narrative and their illustrated portraits join those of the couple.

Yes. The meeting date, the place, your memories, your trips, your promises shape the narrative, page after page. Juliana & Alfred's book that you just leafed through was born exactly this way, from the couple's own words.

Of course. Give the book to compose: you offer a gift card, and the couple writes their memories themselves, when it suits them. It's often the gift they will still talk about years later.

Everything to know

The personalized couple book, in a few words

A couple gift that stays for a lifetime

A personalized couple book is not just another gift. It's an object that finds its place on the coffee table, then in the bookshelf, then in the hands of the child or grandchild who will one day want to read again the story of the two lovers. Where flowers fade and champagne evaporates, the book stays: it's a gift made to last for years.

At Spark Stories, every couple book is composed to order. The watercolor portraits of both lovers, the date and place of the meeting, the trips, the proposal, the wedding, the words chosen by the couple: everything enters the story. It's probably the most original couple gift, because it looks like them.

Why choose this gift for a couple?

Gift ideas for a couple all look alike. The personalized book is the exception. It can't be ordered by the dozen, it can't be filed away in a cupboard, and no one else can give the same one. It's the gift that lovers leave on the coffee table on purpose, and the one friends ask to flip through when they come to visit.

The square 21.5 × 21.5 cm format, the matte laminated hardcover or the softcover, the 50 pages illustrated in watercolor, the FSC paper printed in Europe: every detail is built for an heirloom object. It's not an ordinary photo book, it's a beautiful book, at the price of a beautiful book (€57 softcover, €69 hardcover).

And because this gift is prepared with just a few pieces of information (first names, meeting date, a couple of photos), it can also be given as a gift card: the couple composes their own book whenever they have the time and all the puzzle pieces.

How to compose the book of your story

Everything happens online, in about fifteen minutes. You enter your first names, the date and place of your meeting, the milestones that mattered, and you upload one or several photos of the couple. We compose the watercolor portraits of each of you, and up to three pets if you wish.

You then choose the memories that will appear in the story, you write the dedication, you approve every page. Nothing goes to print without your consent: a couple book is too important to leave any detail to chance. Once approved, the book is printed in Europe and shipped in 5 to 12 business days.

And if you are giving this book to a couple, you can also choose the Spark Stories gift card: valid for two years, the lovers compose the book whenever they are ready. It's the personalized couple gift that waits as long as needed.

“The road ahead of us is still long, filled with promises and stories to write.”
