Twelve children invited, twelve party bags to fill, and the hope that they will not be in the bin by bedtime. A party favour personalised with a photo of the group, or of the birthday child, has one simple advantage: it is one of a kind, it gets kept, and it can be ordered in one go for the whole crowd.
Why a photo changes a party bag
The contents of a party bag look much the same from one birthday to the next. A printed photo breaks that: the child leaves with something about that particular day. A photo of the birthday child, a class photo, a scanned drawing, the mascot of the chosen theme — all of it works, as long as the image is sharp.
The process is the same for all eleven products: upload the photo to the online studio, position it on screen, add a line of text if you want (the name, the date, “Jules is 7”), and order. Nothing is held in stock; everything is made to order.
Which product for which age
- The tote bag, $35.00 — cotton, 38 × 42 cm, long handles: this is the party bag itself. Put the sweets inside and the container becomes the present. Ideal from 6 to 12.
- The t-shirt, $23.00 — Gildan 64000 Softstyle, S to 2XL: for a themed party where the whole group wears the same thing in the photos. Note that the smallest size is an adult S.
- Postcards, $26.00 for a pack of 10 — A6, 300 gsm: the most flexible format. One pack, ten guests, one card each with the photo from the party. Order early enough and they double as invitations.
- The mug, $23.00 — 325 ml ceramic, dishwasher safe: better suited to older children, or to the parents who stay.
The quantity discount, and how to reach it
From 10 items in the basket the discount is 10%, rising to 15% from 25 items. There is no code to enter: it appears on its own at checkout. One point worth knowing — items add up across products, so ten different objects count as ten. Eight tote bags plus two mugs trigger the discount just as well as ten tote bags.
Two concrete examples: ten tote bags come to $315.00 instead of $350.00. Ten mugs, $207.00 instead of $230.00. The discount covers the mug, the t-shirt, the sweatshirt, the hoodie, the tote bag, the postcards and both calendars. The three wooden frames are excluded and do not count towards the threshold — order one as a keepsake for the bedroom by all means, but do not rely on it to reach ten items.

Choosing the right photo
One sentence covers it: use the original, never the copy that went through a messaging app. A photo pulled out of a chat has been recompressed, and it shows when printed across a 38 cm tote bag.
- Take the file from the phone's camera roll, not from the conversation thread.
- Aim for at least 2000 pixels on the long side for a tote bag or a t-shirt.
- Check the light: an indoor party photo taken with flash tends to flatten faces. An ordinary outdoor shot usually prints better.
- Leave some space around the subject. The studio can crop; it cannot invent what falls outside the frame.
If you are unsure whether a file is sharp enough, the photo resolution for printing page gives the numbers.
When to order to be safe
The site quotes 5 to 10 working days, delivery included in the price shown. For a birthday, allow a week and keep a margin: order two to three weeks before the date. A birthday cannot be moved, and that is the only real risk with this kind of order.
We ship to France, the EU, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and the United States. The price shown is the price paid, even for a single item, and there is no account to create.
The detail parents forget
Order one or two items more than the number of guests. There is always a little brother who joins in, a cousin who turns up unannounced, or a child who drops theirs in the apple juice. With ten guests, ordering twelve costs little and takes you comfortably past the discount threshold.
One last thing to know before you confirm: a personalised product carries no right of withdrawal (article L221-28 3° of the French consumer code). Any printing, manufacturing or transport defect is however replaced or refunded. So do check the spelling of the name before ordering — it is the one thing we cannot fix for you.
