A premium hardcover book with a custom cover written about them. Their habits, their quirks, their job title — roasted in print, 200 blank pages inside.
A personalised roast book looks exactly like a serious, well-produced hardcover book. It has a title, a subtitle, an author credit — all written about your colleague specifically.
Open it up and there's nothing inside. 200 pristine blank pages.
It's the kind of gift people put on their desk and show every visitor for the next six months. Cheap enough to feel spontaneous. Quality enough to feel intentional. Funny enough to actually land.
The personalised roast book works(wherever there's a colleague who deserves to be gently mocked in print.
Send them off properly. A book titled "Everything [Name] Taught Us (About What Not to Do)" hits differently than a card and a bottle of wine.
5 years. 10 years. However long they've been pretending to like the Monday stand-up. Mark the milestone with something that acknowledges the truth.
Welcome a new hire with a book called "What I'll Definitely Have Figured Out By Week Three." Sets expectations. Gets a laugh. Gets remembered.
"[Name]'s Strategic Vision, Q4 Edition" — delivered to their desk the morning they become a manager. Deniable. Memorable. Slightly accurate.
Skip the grocery store cake card. A personalised book about their age, their habits, or their legendary meeting-avoidance strategy lasts longer.
"[Name]'s 30-Year Plan for Finally Taking That Holiday" — the retirement gift that acknowledges the career while looking forward to what comes next.
The best roast books are specific. The more accurate the title, the harder they laugh.
Creating a personalised roast book takes less time than writing the office card everyone signs in the corridor.

A personalised roast book is a premium hardcover book with a custom cover written about a specific person — usually a colleague, friend, or family member. You write the cover copy (title, subtitle, author credit). It's printed on a professional hardcover binding with 200 blank pages inside. The cover is the joke; the blank pages complete it.
You write the cover copy. That's the point — the personalisation is yours, which makes it actually funny rather than generically witty. We give you prompts and guidance in the creator tool, but the roast comes from you. The production quality comes from us.
We print and process within 1 working day. Standard delivery is 2–3 working days within Europe from our printing facility in the Netherlands. Express shipping options are available at checkout if you need it faster.
200 blank pages. That's intentional — the cover is where all the humour lives. Some people actually use the book as a notebook afterwards, which gives the joke a second life every time someone sees the title on their shelf.
Yes. You can create multiple different books in a single session, or order multiples of the same title. For larger team orders — 5 books or more — visit our corporate gifting page for volume pricing and a more streamlined process.
The creator tool includes prompts based on occasion (leaving gift, birthday, onboarding, etc.) and role. Most people find that once they start thinking about someone's specific habits or quirks, the title writes itself. Give yourself 5 minutes — it's faster than you think.
Takes 5 minutes. Ships in 3 days. Stays on their desk for years.
