The gift with the poem on it
Sinterklaas evening turns on two things that both last exactly one night: the surprise and the poem. The surprise goes in the bin afterwards, and the poem — the one you spent three evenings on, with that rhyme you still laugh at yourself — is lying in the wrapping paper the next morning. Which is a shame, because the poem is the part you actually made.
So put your two best lines on something that stays. A Delft blue tile with your own text is the form the Netherlands has used for four hundred years to write something short and dry, and it costs about what a drawn name is allowed to cost. Prefer a face to a sentence? From one photo we make a portrait in the style that suits the person, from classical oils to pop art they will laugh out loud at.
Practical bit: order by November 27. That is earlier than delivery strictly requires, and deliberately so — a gift meant to go inside a surprise should not arrive on the 4th, but well before, so you can still build something around it. Too late? A gift card arrives by email within minutes, even on December 5 itself.

Why an AI Portrait as a Sinterklaas?
Your rhyme, fired into ceramic
Two lines you write yourself, in Delft blue on a real 15x15 tile. Not a print that creases: glazed ceramic that still hangs there in ten years.
Made for a drawn name
Personal enough to stand out among the chocolate letters, and it fits the spending limit everyone agreed on. Done in five minutes, without setting foot in a shop.
In time to build a surprise around it
Order by November 27 and it is home well before December 5 — with time left to invent the box, the craft and the story that go around it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will it arrive in time if I order now?
Order by November 27 and your gift is in well before December 5. That date sits deliberately early: a gift that has to go inside a surprise is needed a few days sooner than one that goes under the tree on its own. We fire your tile within 24-48 hours and ship straight after.
How much text fits on a tile?
Two to four short lines read best — roughly the length of a good closing couplet. The designer shows you exactly how it looks, so you can adjust until it sits right. A whole poem on one tile becomes unreadable; pick the line you are proudest of.
What if I want a photo instead of a poem?
Then you upload one photo and pick a style. From the same picture we make a classical portrait for grandpa, or a pop art version your brother will laugh at — same product, completely different gift. You see the result before you pay.
Does this fit our spending limit?
A tile with your own text sits around what most drawn-name agreements allow, and the coaster set comes in under it. You see the price per size before anything goes in your basket, with no surprises at checkout.
I have left it too late. Can I still do something?
Yes. A gift card goes out by email immediately, even on December 5 itself, and the recipient then picks their own style and size. Not the same as a parcel in the shoe, but a real gift rather than a promise.
