Do You Offer Gift Vouchers?

No, not currently. Three things that solve the same problem better, including the one people ask vouchers for most: giving without knowing the details yet.

No, not currently. There is no gift card and no voucher code to buy.

That is worth explaining rather than just stating, because the thing people usually want a voucher for is solvable — often better than a voucher would solve it.

What people actually want when they ask

Almost always one of three things.

“I want to give this, but I do not have their photographs.” The commonest by far.

“I want them to choose the size themselves.”

“I want to give it now and let them deal with it later.”

A voucher answers all three by deferring everything, and in the process it hands the recipient a chore: here is some credit, now go and assemble sixty photographs. For a gift whose entire value is that somebody else did the thinking, that is a poor trade.

What works instead

What you want Better than a voucher
You have no photographs of them Ask one person close to them for twenty
Let them pick the size Order the small size; a full 8-page book beats a padded 24
Give now, make later Give a card saying what is coming, then make it properly
Pay for someone else’s order Send them the money and let them order
Group gift, undecided One person orders, everybody pays them

The card-now, book-later move

This is the closest honest equivalent to a voucher, and it is better than one.

Give a card on the day explaining what is being made. Then collect the photographs — from them, or from people around them — and have it made properly. The object arrives a fortnight later and the anticipation is not a consolation prize.

It also removes the voucher’s real failure mode: vouchers expire unredeemed. A promise you have already started acting on does not. Ordering for a fixed date →

If you genuinely have no material

You are not stuck. Ask their sibling, their oldest friend or their partner for twenty photographs. People say yes to that request almost every time, and the result is better than anything the recipient would have assembled about themselves, because they appear in it properly.

⚠️ That is also the one thing a voucher cannot buy: a book about you is nearly impossible to make yourself. Handing someone credit hands them exactly the job that makes the gift not work.

What it costs to just order it

An eight-page magazine is ₹499 and thirty prints are ₹270, flat ₹70 delivery anywhere in India. Both are below what most people would put on a voucher anyway, which is a reasonable argument for simply deciding. What each budget buys →

Frequently asked

Do you sell gift cards or vouchers? No, not currently. There is no code to buy and nothing to redeem.

Can I pay for someone else’s order? Not through us as a voucher. Send them the amount directly and let them place the order, or place it yourself with their delivery address.

What if I do not have their photographs? Ask somebody close to them for twenty. It works better than a voucher, because a book about someone is the one thing they cannot easily make for themselves.

Can I order now and supply photographs later? Yes, though the clock on delivery starts at the order. If it will be a while, give a card first and order when the material is ready.

What is the cheapest way to give something now? Thirty prints at ₹270. It is a real object rather than a promise, and it is below most voucher amounts.
