Finding the perfect gift for a parent or grandparent can be a challenge. You want something personal, thoughtful, and that they will genuinely use and cherish. If your loved one is a reader who struggles with the small text in standard books, a custom large-print edition is one of the most considerate and meaningful gifts you can possibly give.

It’s more than just a book; it’s the gift of a comfortable, joyful reading experience. This guide will walk you through the simple process of creating a gift they will never forget.

A Gift of Comfort and Joy

Step 1: Choose a Book They'll Love

The first step is to think about what your parent or grandparent loves to read. This is your chance to show how well you know them.

  • A New Release by a Favorite Author: Is there an author they’ve read for years? Gifting them the latest bestseller in a format they can actually read is incredibly thoughtful.
  • A Beloved Classic: Consider a beautiful new edition of a book they loved in their youth. A title from our Classic Adventure Novels list can be a wonderful, nostalgic gift.
  • A Book About Their Hobby: Do they love gardening, history, or cooking? A stunning coffee table book or a detailed history book makes for a fantastic present. For more ideas, check out our general guide to choosing the perfect book gift .

Step 2: Make the Custom Request

This part is simple. When you message us on WhatsApp or Facebook to order, just let us know you want to make it a special gift.

You can say something like: “I’d like to order this book as a gift and would like to request a custom large-print edition.”

We will then work with you to ensure the font size and layout are perfect for comfortable reading. You can learn more about the specifics in our guide to the benefits of large-print books.

Step 3: Add the Finishing Touches

This is how you turn a great gift into an unforgettable one.

  • Add a Personal Message: We can print a custom dedication directly inside the book. A simple message like “Happy Birthday, Dad! We hope you love this. Love, Sarah” makes the gift deeply personal.
  • Upgrade to Hardcover: For a truly lasting keepsake, consider upgrading to a durable and beautiful hardcover edition. It turns the book into a permanent treasure for their library.
