Can't find book plates like I want

[busymama7]

I think we are moving to books only for the grand kids for Christmas.  It is complicated but in the end I think keeping it simple will be the way.  I want little stickers/book plates that I can write the childs name and date/event like Christmas 2023 and from Grandpa and Grandma and our last name.  I've looked but I might not be using the right search terms.  

(Back story. My one daughter in law is a minimalist so buying anything is hard for them. She plans to homeschool and is raising the kids with Spanish as their first language intending them to be bilingual so I think the options are wide open for quality books. I also was highly influenced by FIAR and other literature based curricula and love children's literature and think sharing this love is a good idea. We will be doing a family pass to a local place as well but I would like at least a package for the kids to open with us.)

Use the search term Ex libris.

Brings up lots of options for me.

Etsy does a lot of custom work at fairly reasonable prices.

So yeah not exactly these. I was hoping for it to be blank but with more room so I could add in who it was from and when not just who it belongs to.    I can see blank ones but they just have one line.  The custom ones wouldn't accommodate the event and year as I may end up doing them for birthdays too.

What? You could have a custom design say whatever you want it to say in whatever design you want. You sketch out an idea and a graphic designer makes it and custom prints it for you. Here’s an example of a seller that does that: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1363133735/design-your-own-author-signature-book?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=gift+giving+book+plates&ref=sc_gallery-3-2&edd=1&plkey=871becdfbc620ba3c9db340d18f08d44c8373bf7%3A1363133735

You can also look at people that do custom address stamps for the same sort of idea if you dont want to do sticker stamps. We have done both custom ink stamps and custom embossing stuff. Some people hand carve the art for the stamp, but most have a design that gets imported and a machine cuts or 3D prints it.

Ok this style could work. What was coming up with the other links was more like this book belongs to Sam Jones and I wanted it more blank. These are too blank but I'm guessing they can add some text for me. Thanks.

You could also design your own on Canva or other program and print it on sticker paper or printable labels.
