How Personalization Works: Adding Your Child to the Nativity Story

Adding your child's photo to a Testify Swag Kids Bible story set is a simple upgrade, not a separate product. Upload a clear photo during checkout, and one piece in the set — or the whole sequence, depending on the option you choose — is made using your child's likeness instead of the standard character art. Here's exactly how it works, and how to decide which level of personalization is right for your family.

Two Ways to Personalize

There isn't one single “personalized” option — there are two, depending on how much of the story you want your child to be part of:

• Single Photo Upgrade (+$15): the set keeps its original storyline and characters, but one piece — the hero, or whichever character makes sense for the story — is swapped for a version using your child's photo. Everything else in the set stays exactly as designed.
• Full Custom Set: your child appears as the character throughout the entire sequence, not just one piece. This is priced as its own tier rather than a flat add-on, since it involves reworking every piece in the set rather than one.

Which Level Is Right for Your Family

Most families choose the single photo upgrade — it's a meaningful way to make the set personal without changing the whole story, and it's the lighter-touch option if you're ordering multiple sets for siblings or a classroom.

What You Actually Send Us

Personalization only needs one thing from you: a clear, front-facing photo of your child's face. A few notes that make the process smoother:

• Good lighting and a clear view of the face matter more than a fancy photo — a simple, well-lit smartphone photo works great.
• Avoid photos with identifying details in the background — no visible names, school signage, addresses, or anything that shouldn't be shared. (Full details are on our Photo Use & Privacy page.)
• You'll get a proof before production starts. Nothing goes to print until you've seen and approved how your child's photo was worked into the design.

What Happens to the Photo

Your photo is edited using design and photo-editing tools — including AI-assisted tools — to fit your child into the story's art style. It's used only to create your order and isn't shared publicly or used for anything else without your separate permission. Full details are on our Photo Use & Privacy page.

Which Sets Offer This

Personalization is available across the Testify Swag Kids line — Armor of God, Kids Like David, Nativity, Noah's Ark, and Fruit of the Spirit all offer both the single photo upgrade and the full custom option. You can select which level of personalization you want directly on each set's product page.

Moments that whisper are worth remembering. Because moments fade. Love doesn't.

Seeing your own child step into a story they already love — Armor of God, David facing the giant, the Nativity itself — turns a Bible lesson into something that feels like theirs, not just something they were handed.

Your Photos. Your Moments. Your Story. We press them so they stick around.

How a 3.5-inch photo magnet becomes part of the story

Our custom photo magnets are professionally produced as 3.5-inch round keepsakes. They are big enough to actually see the faces in the picture, but small enough to belong on the refrigerator, the filing cabinet at work, or the side of a metal lamp in grandma's bedroom.

You provide the photograph. We help you make sure the resolution, the crop, and the framing honor the moment. Most people send us a phone photo or a scan of an older print, and we walk them through the rest. The keepsake itself does the work after that — quietly, every day, for years.

How to start

Email tsocustomkeepsakes@gmail.com with a short note about the photograph you want to preserve and the moment behind it. We'll respond with simple next steps — how to send the image, a brief design questionnaire, and information about custom order options.

There is no shopping cart and no checkout. Every keepsake we make begins with a conversation, because every keepsake we make is built around a story.
