A Diwali gift that isn't another box of sweets

Diwali gifting in India often means the same dry-fruit boxes and hampers going round in circles. A personalised family storybook breaks the pattern: it is made once, for one family, from your own photos and stories.

Parents and grandparents tend to keep it out — on the coffee table, by the puja room, in the cupboard with the wedding album — and pull it out when relatives visit.

Story ideas for a Diwali book

Pick the story you want to tell; we hand-illustrate your family into it and write the words around your moments.

  • Our family's Diwali traditions — rangoli, diyas, the sweets only Nani makes
  • Mum and Dad's story: how they met, the first home, the family they built
  • A thank-you book from the children to their parents
  • A trip or pilgrimage the family took together
  • A first Diwali with a new baby or a new daughter-in-law

Common questions

Before you order

Straight answers about personalised illustrated books, timelines, and how ordering works in India.

What is a personalised illustrated keepsake book?

A personalised illustrated keepsake book is a custom printed storybook made from your real photos and memories. At the Chapter Co., your family are hand-illustrated as the characters, the story is written around your own moments, and the finished book is printed and bound for you to gift and reread for years.

How much does a personalised illustrated book cost?

Every book is made from scratch, so the price depends on the number of pages, people, and scenes. Message us on WhatsApp or email [email protected] with what you have in mind and Harita will send a clear quote before any work begins — no commitment.

How do I order a custom book?

Send a few photos, names, and the moments that matter on WhatsApp (+91 94281 34672) or by email to [email protected]. We illustrate the full story, send you a digital draft to approve, refine any edits, then print and ship the finished keepsake book to your door.

What if I don't love how it looks?

Nothing is printed until you approve it. You see the complete digital draft — every face, place, and line of text — and we refine anything that doesn't feel like your family before the book goes to print.
