An Old-Fashioned Christmas · Traditional

A gift on every page

Twelve pages of the Christmas you remember: snow at the window, something on the stove, the good chair by the fire. You fill each page with a gift card, a voucher, something delivered, money sent, a gift given in their name or a promise of your time. They open it from a private link, on their phone, and turn to whichever page today needs: a book by the frosted window, a stew by the fire, a night at the theatre, flowers on the table, a quiet bench in the snow.

A linocut print in red, green and black of a Christmas present wrapped in holly-patterned paper with a big red bow, beside a lit red candle, a sprig of holly berries, pine branches and two baubles on a table.

When it's a night at the theatreSnow on the street, lights on the marquee, a glass of red before.
When you want something preciousPearls, perfume, the velvet box you'd never buy yourself.

What a page can hold

A gift card. A gift card for a shop, a cafe, a cinema or a food delivery app: its code and PIN sit on the page.
Money sent to them. Money you've sent to their account, with a note saying what it's for.
An experience. A day spa, a show, a class, a flight: the voucher code and how to book.
Delivered to them. Flowers, chocolates, a book, pyjamas: on their way, with the page saying so.
Handmade or personalised. Something made by hand or personalised, from a small maker.
Given in their name. A gift given in their name to a charity, with the page telling them.
A promise from you. Something you'll do yourself: a night of babysitting, a visit with lunch, an afternoon in their garden.

How it works

Pay once. We email you a private link to your book.
Buy the gifts wherever you like (we have ideas for every page), then put each one on its page: what it is, the code, how to use it.
Press Send. We email them a private link, or give you their link to send yourself.
They turn the pages whenever they need one. You see which pages they've opened and used, and can fix a code if one is wrong.

Fully digital: nothing is printed or posted. Questions? info@tadavite.com

Good to know

Do I buy the gifts from Tadavite?: No. You buy each gift card, voucher or present wherever you like (we suggest places for every page) and put its details on the page. Tadavite sells none of them, checks none of them and takes nothing from them.
Is anything posted?: No. The book is entirely digital. Anything you have delivered, you arrange with the shop.
Do the pages open on certain days?: No. Every page is open from the moment you send the book. It's a book, not a calendar: they turn to the page they need, when they need it.
Can I change a page after sending?: Yes, until they've ticked that gift as used. Handy if a code was typed wrong.
Can I change the words on a page?: Yes. Every page's title and line are yours to rewrite, and you can add up to twelve pages of your own.
Who sees what?: They see the pages and gifts. You see which pages they've opened and which gifts they've used. Nothing in the book ever goes in an email.
How long does the link work?: A year from the day you send it.

Not quite them? There are 32 other editions, from For Mum to the sweary one: see all the gift books.
