No courier cutoff. No guessing what size jumper they wear. Just pages of faces they already love.
Color Me In makes a print-ready digital book from your photos. Christmas Kids or Christmas Adults covers are there when you want the gift to feel seasonal.
Why “print tonight” works as a Christmas gift
Last-minute gifts often feel rushed. A photo colouring book still feels considered, because the pictures are theirs.
You control the timeline. Download the PDF when it is ready, then print as many copies as you need for kids, grandparents, or the whole table.
It is quiet-time fun after Christmas lunch. Screen-free, personal, and easy to repeat if someone asks for another copy.
What you need before you start
- 6–12 clear photos (more is fine; start with your favourites)
- A home printer with enough ink, or a USB / phone for Officeworks
- Plain A4 paper (single-sided prints colour best)
- Optional: pencils or crayons to tuck in the wrap
Bright photos with clear faces and simple backgrounds make the cleanest line-art pages. Skip blurry night shots and heavy filters if you can.
How to make the book tonight
- Open the Christmas gift colouring book page and start your book
- Upload your photos and pick a Christmas cover (Kids or Adults)
- Download the print-ready PDF when it is ready
- Print at home on A4, or take the file to Officeworks for same-day black-and-white prints where available
Digital books start from about $5.99 for 10 pages. One-time payment. No subscription.
If you want to test one photo first, try a free trial page, then come back and build the full gift book.
Home printer vs Officeworks
At home
Print at 100% / actual size, greyscale or black and white, single-sided. Staple, clip, or slip into a display folder.
At Officeworks
Save the PDF to your phone or a USB. Ask for A4 black and white, single-sided. Many stores can turn around a small job the same day if you are short on ink at home.
Either way, you are giving a gift you made from real memories, not something stuck in transit.
Quick gift wraps that still feel personal
- Print 4–6 favourite pages for stockings, and keep the full PDF for later
- Make two copies: one for the kids, one for Nan and Pop
- Add a short note on the first page: who the photos are, and which Christmas they came from
