What makes Helen Exley giftbooks so different?

The team that produces Helen Exley Giftbooks is passionate about creating beautiful, thoughtful books.

This passion starts with Helen Exley herself who has been collecting and editing her books for over twenty years. she is still completely involved in each new book launched under her name. And her team of researchers, picture researchers, designers and editors share her conviction that what they are doing really matters, that their work makes a difference.

Each book we create will be given as a specially chosen present, to say "I love you" or "Thank you for all you've done" to a friend or someone in the family.

At least 12 million people give, receive and read the giftbooks we create each year - about one in five hundred of all people in the world. The books are about family relationships, wisdom and personal values and are a great source of help to people in their journey through life.

That's why, when we create the books, we cut no corners. We try to find the best possible illustrations. We search the world for the most expressive pictures. We study hundreds of books to find the perfect quotations. And we will re-do work over and over again if it's not good enough.

The company, whilst reaching out to the public on a worldwide basis, is still run a family business from peaceful, creeper- covered offices in Watford, UK. We have companies in the USA, and in Belgium and in Germany, where our joint owners are also family people who have the same goals and principles.

Publishing in over 30 languages.... Because so much care goes into every book, Helen Exley Giftbooks have been chosen by publishers in thirty-five languages as the giftbooks they want to publish in their own languages. Helen Exley Giftbooks may be UK based, but the vast majority of the customers live elsewhere, in over seventy countries.
