Small to give, big to receive, and nothing to put in the bin on Boxing Day

A Christmas coupon book that outlasts the wrapping paper

Christmas produces an enormous amount of stuff that nobody asked for. A book of promises is the rare gift that takes up almost no space and gets used repeatedly through the year that follows.

It is also a real thing to wrap. A landscape hardback in boards, printed and bound to order, one promise to a page — which is what makes it work under a tree rather than as a link sent on the day.

Order early if it needs to be wrapped: printing and post take time, and the digital book is included, so a late order still has something to open.

$44.99 — a real hardback, posted. Printed and bound to order in landscape boards, one promise to a page, despatched within 10 days. The digital book is included, so you can send the code the moment you pay.

Worth building in early December if you plan to print and wrap them.

How it works

  1. Stack your promises. Pick from the ideas above or write your own.
  2. Wrap it. Choose a cover, sign a note, and we seal it behind a secret code.
  3. Send the code. They open it, redeem promises whenever, and mark each one kept.

Questions

Is a coupon book a good stocking filler?

It's one of the better ones, because it's small to hand over and long to use. Printed and folded it takes up almost no room; sent as a link it takes up none at all.

Can I make several for different people?

Yes. Each book is separate with its own code, so you can build one for a partner, one for a parent and one for a friend, each with different promises.

Can I give it on the day if I'm sending a link?

You can send the code whenever you like — build them in advance and hand the codes over on Christmas morning, or print them and wrap them properly.
