ead in their wedding. The book Lauren used was a book of love poems which rounded out the exceptional gift! The book turned out stunning and brought tears to my sister-in-law’s eyes! I will definitely be ordering again from Dilly Dally!

I feel Dilly Dally's folded books are truly a great option for those difficult to shop for who seem to have everything, and a great gift idea for weddings, birthday, or holiday gif...

Purchased a Paris themed book for my mother who has it proudly displayed in her house. She constantly receives positive feedback from all who visits, and it was the gift she never knew she wanted.
Dilly Dally is truly professional and I highly recommend them as a great gift solution to consider in the future.
Dilly Dally was superb from start to finish! Not only do they produce one-of-a-kind works of art, but they were incredibly helpful in helping me design my “book”. It is always a to...
pic of conversation in my home and everyone always wants to know where I got it. Dilly Dally was speedy in production and I had great communication with them throughout. I can’t recommend Dilly Dally enough!

last name of a close friend who is getting married this May. She received it at her Bridal Shower and was so blown away. These books are so unique and really make on of the best gifts you could ever give. Thanks Dilly Dally’s!

bsolutely perfect. They had a book themed wedding, so I couldn't ask for a more special gift they will enjoy every Christmas. Thanks Lauren!
I wanted a special gift to give to my partner for our 10th anniversary. I contacted Dilly Dally's with an idea, and a week later, Lauren, the owner, had a book created in the desig...
n I asked her to make. It was a great hit! That Christmas, I decided to surprise my brothers and sisters (3 sisters; 4 brothers) each with one of Dilly Dally's books. I bought one for myself, my partner, and my sister-in-law, so the order turned out to be 10 books in all. I was worried the order would be too big and not be ready for Christmas, so I ordered early, in April. By May, Lauren had all of the books completed and to perfection. Lauren is so great to work with; she's professional, meets timelines with time to spare, and presents her books to you in a beautiful, colored, gift bag. Lauren knows how to work with a client to make sure an idea is not lost, but complemented with her guidance. I have never been disappointed with her work. The books she created for my family had my Mom & Dad's names etched in the book with a rose lying underneath their names. The names and rose are surrounded by a heart, which is the book itself. What a beautiful way to remember my Mom & Dad's and keep their memory alive. Each of my brothers and sisters found a special place in their home to be viewed easily by guests. If you pick this company for your special day, you won't be disappointed with their products and services. Thank you Dilly Dally's. Custom Book Folding!

Better than jewelry and way less expensive.
I purchased a Dilly Dally's folded book a few years back as a Christmas present for my bride of 30+ years.
Superb service sta...
rt to finish from design to final product. No muss, no fuss.
Today, this 'I love you' surprise remains a centerpiece. I've spent way more on other gifts and got way less in terms of success and experience.
Perfect if your partner is a book-lover.
I've gifted two of Dilly Dally's books to friends and family members. One was a custom idea, the other was the logo for an NFL team. For the custom one, Dilly Dally worked with me ...
to get the design just right for my friend. And my mom loved her Minnesota Vikings book. The value for these gifts is wonderful, and they are gifts that have made a lasting impression on my loved ones.
