Product Details

Create a truly one-of-a-kind gift using the pages of a book that means something special.
Whether it's a favourite novel, a childhood classic, a wedding reading, or a story filled with memories, I carefully transform real book pages into beautiful handmade fruit sculptures designed to be treasured.
This personalised book fruit makes a meaningful gift for anniversaries, birthdays, weddings, teacher gifts, memorial keepsakes, and literary lovers who are difficult to buy for.
Each fruit is individually cut by hand in my Northamptonshire studio using reclaimed books wherever possible. Every piece is completely handmade, meaning no two are ever exactly the same.
Your chosen fruit is finished with a personalised leaf where your names, date, quote, song lyric or short message can be added, making every gift deeply personal.
Each fruit arrives beautifully presented in a gift box that showcases the book it was created from.

Personalisation

Please leave the name of the book you would like used, your chosen fruit shape, colour preference where applicable, and your personalised message for the leaf.
You can personalise the leaf with names, dates, quotes, wedding vows, song lyrics or a short meaningful message.
Maximum 30 words for the leaf.
Your wording will be copied exactly as entered, so please double check spelling and punctuation before ordering.
If no leaf message is left, the leaf will be sent plain.
If I am unable to source your chosen book, I will contact you to discuss suitable alternatives.

Greeting Card

Your personalised fruit arrives beautifully presented in a gift box, ready for gifting.
If you would like to include a short gift message, please leave this within your order notes where possible.
If you would like to add a matching greeting card to your order, you can view my greeting card collection here:

Shipping

Each fruit is handmade to order in my Northamptonshire studio.
I first source your chosen book before carefully creating your personalised fruit sculpture.
Processing time is usually 5 working days once the book has been sourced.
If your requested book is difficult to find, I will contact you before proceeding.
UK delivery options are available at checkout.
Please allow extra time during busy seasonal periods.

Important Notes

Because every fruit is made using real books, no two pieces will ever be exactly the same.
Page colour, print style and slight variations are part of the handmade charm and make each gift unique.
This is a decorative keepsake and is not intended as a toy.
Paper products should be kept indoors and away from moisture.
I use reclaimed books wherever possible to create these gifts sustainably and thoughtfully.

FAQs

Can I choose any book?
In most cases, yes. I can usually source most popular books, favourite novels and meaningful titles.
If your chosen book is rare, out of print, or difficult to source, I will contact you to discuss alternatives.
Can I provide my own book?
Yes — if you already have a special copy you would like used, please message me before ordering so we can arrange this.
Can I choose a specific page or chapter?
This product is made using the full book rather than selected pages. If you would like specific words or excerpts included, my “Choose Your Own Words” fruit may be a better option.

AMAZING product!! I worked with the seller to create a custom anniversary gift for my husband for our paper anniversary using an MF DOOM book (one of my husband’s favorite artists) and it turned out perfect!! It’s made so well and it’s truly a one of a kind gift. He loved it, i love it, and i could not recommend this shop enough!! Thank you!!

Firstly, the seller is lovely 😊 I live in the US so I was worried that this might not come in time for my wedding anniversary at the end of March but it came EXTREMELY quickly! I was kind of in a panic trying to find something that fit the 4 year anniversary gift of fruit (who picked FRUIT of all things?!) and was something that would be a keepsake instead of sitting down eating a watermelon together 🤣 it's fantastic quality, I'm SUPER happy with it! In case someone needs some inspiration for what book to use, I used the book of poems by Elizabeth Barett Brown where she writes the famous line, "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways."

The seller couldn’t have been more helpful, and she managed to make my bespoke paper apple in super quick time. I would 100% recommend these gifts - they’re beautiful and my husband was delighted with his green apple. 🥰

My husband and I celebrate our anniversaries by exchanging the traditional themed gifts and this was PERFECT for our 4th anniversary (fruits and flowers). It’s absolutely beautiful! My husband loved seeing his favorite parts of the book mixed in and the customized leaf message. It’s a brilliant addition to our library. The shipping was also incredibly fast. I could not be more pleased. Highly recommend to others seeking a unique gift for the book nerd in their lives!

This is so lovely! I asked lots of questions and had friendly quick responses. I ordered the red apple for my niece's graduation from Teacher training and it arrived beyond my expectations. It is such a lovely piece of work and the attention to all the details was impeccable. The packaging is beautiful as well. I am so impressed with this!!
