Unforgettable Father’s Day

I ordered four books from MyStories this Father’s Day – one personalised storybook for each of my children, and a special customised book for my husband, Francois. I honestly didn’t expect to be this blown away.

Every book was beautifully crafted and uniquely tailored, not only capturing each child’s name and appearance but also weaving in details that made them feel like the true heroes of their own stories. The kids were absolutely mesmerised – seeing themselves as part of an adventure made story time magical again.

But the real showstopper was the Father's Day book for Francois. It was emotional, funny, and heartwarming – a truly one-of-a-kind gift that brought a few unexpected tears. He still keeps it close by and shows it off to friends and family!

Thank you, MyStories, for creating something so meaningful and personal. Your attention to detail, quality of service, and the joy your books bring make you an absolute gem. I’ll definitely be ordering again – and recommending you to everyone I know!

I would definitely recommend MyStories to anyone who wants to personalise a gift for a loved one. The quality is exceptional, the customisation of the characters is printed exactly as the preview shows. They keep you updated on your order up until delivery and the story written is very cute. What a special gift!

Great gift idea!

I ordered a book from Mystories as a first Father’s Day gift for my husband and he LOVED it. He even mentioned it got him emotional reading the book. I was so excited when I found Mystories as a local South African brand. The stories are so cute and the illustrations are so beautiful!

Highly recommend…

We gave a customised story book to our granny for Mother’s Day, and it was absolutely perfect! The book was beautifully made, with such thoughtful details that truly captured the love we wanted to express. It was incredibly sentimental — she was so touched and emotional while reading it. You can tell a lot of care went into creating it, and it made the day so special. We’re beyond impressed with the quality and the personalisation. Highly recommend this as a meaningful gift for any loved one!

I ordered a book for my brother's daughter. Mienje. She loved the book. She wants me, by brother or his wife to read it to her the whole time. Great grammar for children their age. The storyline is perfect and the cartoons are brilliant. So clear and well drawn.
I told my colleagues about it, she immediately ordered two books. There was a problem with the payment, so she made contact with My Stories. They immediately replied, the payment was made and the books were delivered within 7 days.

Any child should have one of these books, in there own language. Reading is important for kids, so is the drawings. There is no other way to make it more fun as to personalize it!

Well done! Great initiative!
