What comes with my gift?
Your gift includes 12 Baby's First Year books, one for each month of your baby's first year, in the book size the gifter chose.
Can I change my book size or cover type?
Yes. Your number of book credits may go up or down, but the total value of your gift stays the same.
Open your Baby's First Year subscription and tap the settings icon in the top right
Tap "Manage Subscription"
Tap "Book size" or "Cover type," make your choice, and tap "Save"
Tap "Confirm"
What happens after the first 12 months?
Your subscription renews automatically after 12 months, and you'll pay for the renewal, not the person who gifted it. We'll email you before it renews, so you can choose to keep your subscription or cancel. Learn how to cancel in How do I cancel my Monthly Mini, Monthbook, or Baby's First Year subscription on the app?
Can I redeem my gift in "Redeem a Gift Card"?
No. A gifted subscription isn't a Gift Card, so your gift code won't work in "Redeem a Gift Card" or in the promo code field at checkout. Use the steps above to redeem it.
