For an aunt: a gift that says she counts as much as you think

Designed in France*

Aunts rarely get more than a gift card or a small token. Yet they often hold a special place in the lives of nieces and nephews: confidante, partner in mischief, second home. A coloring book puts that bond on the page. She finds herself among her nieces and nephews, ready to colour, and the album becomes the object they pull out when they come to sleep over.

A few examples that work for this case

  • Aunt with her nieces and nephews, turned into a coloring page

    Aunt in the middle, nieces and nephews around her: the most common layout.

  • Park outing with the kids, rendered as black-and-white line art

    A complicit aunt-and-kids outing: this kind of scene colours up beautifully.

Our tip for an aunt

Mix solo photos of the nieces and nephews (the ones she likes to look at) with photos of them with her (her favourites). If several nieces and nephews join in, the 12-photo format gives each one their own pages. Check quietly with the parents which photos she's already received, to avoid duplicates.

Recommended format

24-page book, €49.99

Covers several nieces and nephews without slipping into a generic "group" album.

Frequently asked questions

She lives far away and only sees the kids once a year. Does this still work?

It works even better. The album becomes a thread between visits. Many aunts put it on display at home, as an object of the bond.

Can we include photos of her when she was a child with her own aunts?

Yes. Archive photos of her as a child or young adult work very well. They add an emotional layer.
