Gift for a group of friends: one book for your Stammtisch, skittles club or fan club
Personalised gifts for a group of friends, such as your Stammtisch (the regulars who meet at the same table), can be a tankard or a sign with names. A Flashbook, by contrast, is a memory book of the whole group: every member gets their own double-page spread with two photos and their own answers, and everyone gets the same book. One book costs €24.90 including design, printing and shipping, €22.90 with 3 or more groups in one order and €19.90 with 5 or more.
The book, the questionnaire and our WhatsApp support are in German. Other languages and shipping to other countries on request.
How big does the group need to be for the book?
The book holds 8 to 42 people. Other numbers and special requests are sorted out through the enquiry form, so just ask if your group is smaller. If partners, former members or the landlady really are part of the group, they get a double-page spread of their own. On top of that, the minimum order is 10 books. With 8 members, two books might go to family or to the pub, for example.
What goes into the book for the Stammtisch?
Every member gets a double-page spread with two photos, for example one from today and one from the group's early years. Then come their name, signature and four short details with icons. Typical questions:
- How did you come to join the Stammtisch?
- What is your best saying at the table?
- What do you love arguing about most?
- Who is buying the next round?
- What will your Stammtisch look like in 20 years?
The pages for the whole group
For the cover, all the photos are cut out and arranged into one shared cover image. On the cover you can put “Stammtisch”, “Freundebuch” (the German word for a book in which friends each fill in a page) or the name of your group, with your local pub as the background, for example. Inside, you also get:
- the group photo at your table
- awards such as “Punctual as the church clock” or “Always orders the same thing”
- a double-page spread for special moments, such as the last outing
- two double-page spreads for signatures and messages
- at least 4 blank double-page spreads to write in, for example for guests and family
The book is a landscape A5 hardcover on 170 g/m² paper that you can write on with a ballpoint pen.
Skittles club: a gift for your skittles group's anniversary
For a skittles club (Kegelclub), we swap a few questions: “My best throw”, “Gutter balls per evening, honestly”, “What the skittles kitty will stretch to” and “Our most legendary skittles trip”. In German skittles, a Pudel is a throw that misses every pin, which is why one award is called “Gutter ball king of the year”.
Fan club gifts: one book for all the members of your supporters' club
In a supporters' club, it is all about match days: “My first game at the stadium”, “Longest away trip”, “My lucky charm on match day” and “The game I will never forget”. The stadium cover works well as the background for the title. The supporters' club anniversary is a good occasion, and one of the long questions then reads “How we will celebrate our next anniversary”.
Gifts for a group of friends: the anniversary of your Stammtisch
The classic occasion is an anniversary, for example after 10 or 25 years of meeting. The book also suits someone moving away or celebrating a milestone birthday. The book is a shared book: everyone in it can get a copy, the person being celebrated just like everyone else, and for anything else just ask in your enquiry. For groups of friends without a regular table, there is the friendship book for adults.
How the book comes together for your group
Only one person needs to organise it. Every member does the rest on their own phone.
- Enquiring takes 2 minutes. You then get the link via WhatsApp.
- You share the link in your WhatsApp group. Every member answers the questions on their phone in about 5 minutes and uploads two photos. Anyone who does not like typing can do it together with someone at the table. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays you get a WhatsApp update showing who is still missing.
- Once all the answers are in and all the books are paid for, we design and print. The books reach you 5 to 7 working days later.
How much does the book for the Stammtisch cost?
The price is per book and depends on how many groups take part in one order. Design, printing and shipping to Germany and Austria are always included.
- 1 to 2 groups
- €24.90
- from 3 groups
- €22.90
- from 5 groups
- €19.90
Everyone pays for themselves via a payment link, or one person pays for all by invoice within 14 days. Because every book is designed individually, orders cannot be cancelled once placed.
Frequently asked questions about personalised gifts for a Stammtisch
Does every member have to buy a book?
No. The minimum order is 10 books, and anyone who does not want one is still in the book. Anyone who likes can take two, for example one for their children.
Can we pay from the skittles kitty?
Yes. One person pays for everyone by invoice within 14 days, for example the treasurer from the skittles kitty.
Can former members take part?
Yes. With a double-page spread of their own, they count towards the 8 to 42 people. Without one, they write something on the blank spreads.
Can the name of our group go on the cover?
Yes. You choose the title and the background, for example the name of your group on a photo of your local pub.
