Yes - and we insist on it. Once you've added your names, photos, and dedication, you'll get a full digital preview of every page of your book. Flip through it, check the spelling, make sure the photo looks the way you want. Nothing gets printed until you're happy.

Photos work best when they're clear, well-lit, and taken straight on (think: a nice portrait, not a blurry action shot). During the personalisation process, there will be a warning pop up if your photo is not high enough resolution so that you can swap it out before ordering. If you're unsure, email us at hello@yambini.com and we'll happily take a look before you buy.

Once you place your order, it goes straight to our print partners — there's no pause button on our side, and changes or cancellations aren't possible after checkout. That's why we show you a full preview of every page before you pay: take your time with it, read every word out loud, and double-check names, dates, and photos. If something doesn't look right in the preview, you can edit it as many times as you need before placing the order.

Because every Yambini book is made just for you, we can't accept returns or offer refunds for personalisation choices (typos, wrong photos, wrong name spellings — please check carefully!). But if your book arrives damaged or with a printing error on our side, send us a photo at hello@yambini.com within 14 days and we'll reprint it free of charge.

Each book is printed to order, so allow 5–10 working days for production, plus delivery time depending on where you are in Europe. If you're ordering for a special date — birthday, Christmas, Mother's Day — we recommend ordering at least 2–3 weeks ahead to be safe.

Our books are priced from €32,90 depending on the title, cover type, and number of adventurers. Hardcover and softcover options are both available, and full pricing is shown on each product page before you commit.

Shipping is FREE across Europe and Germany.

Yes! Most of our children's titles are designed for ages 0–6. Hardcover is the better choice for little hands that like to grab, chew, and turn pages with enthusiasm. Softcover is a lovely budget friendly for slightly older readers or as a keepsake.

Absolutely - many of our customers are grandparents, aunts, uncles, godparents, and family friends. You just need a clear photo and the child's name. If you want to include a dedication from you, there's space for that too.

We work with a network of trusted printers across Europe and print as close to your delivery address as possible. That means shorter shipping distances, lower emissions, and a lighter footprint than books shipped from a single warehouse halfway across the world.

Hi, I'm Yolande — designer, illustrator, mom of twins, and the one writing these answers. Yambini started in South Africa as Third Story Creations and grew into something bigger after my family moved to Hamburg. Every book is created with the kind of care I'd want for a gift to my own kids. You can read more on our About page.

Email us at hello@yambini.com (English) or hallo@yambini.de (German). We answer Monday to Friday, 8am–4pm CET, usually within a day.
