Thoughtful, personalized gift with many contributors! This book was so easy to coordinate among friends and family who live in all different areas. We got it put together in a matter of days! When my friend opened up her Kith and Kin book, she had immediate tears of joy! It shipped a little later than hoped for or expected, but came right in the nick of time. I wish there were was to customize the colors and designs on the book as reds/browns aren't her favorite colors BUT it was awesome nonetheless!!

The best gift a new mom could get The best gift a new mom could get! I was able to get a big group of women to contribute to a book for our friend on the eve of her first baby. Lots of love and funny stories and real talk. It was easy to do, beautifully designed (and I'm picky!) and was the talk of the baby shower. Our friend was able to have words of encouragement on hand during those long first nights and was so thankful :) I'll be making one of these books again for sure!

I used Kith and Kin to create a book…for my mother I used Kith and Kin to create a book for my mother's birthday. I asked my own family, all my siblings, their spouses and children to contribute their thoughts and photographs to the project. Kith and Kin made what should have been a time-consuming and logistically challenging project a very easy and stream-lined effort. They provide a template of questions that are delivered by email or text to each person you have requested contribute to the project. The contributors are given the option to respond to all of the questions or simply as many as they feel moved to answer. They are also given the option to upload photos from their electronic devices. The website allows you to send timely reminders to your group to prompt them to complete their submissions. Once someone submits a completed response, Kith and Kin alerts you and enables you to proof the submission before final inclusion in the hardcover book. The book arrived 8-10 days after the final submission. It was well-presented on good paper and beautifully bound. My mother was so happy. I was too.

Very cool concept, but room for improvement The recipient was very happy with her book and overall I would recommend it. I found the overall process a little confusing so it would be helpful if all of the steps were a little more clear up front. Also, the answers ended up being broken into multiple pages per respondent. This not only made the book a lot more pages (more $) than it needed to be, but the flow of the book was a little strange because of it.

Great Experience The book we made for my dad's 80th birthday turned out beautifully! We had a small glitch with ordering and the company went above and beyond to make it right. I highly recommend Your Kith and Kin!
