The one gift for grandparents that plays back.

Most gifts for grandparents end up on a shelf. This one is a real song about their life — vocals, artwork and a private page the whole family can share.

What makes a song a good gift for grandparents?

The best gifts for grandparents aren't the practical ones or the sentimental ones — they're the personal ones. Personalized gifts for grandparents usually stop at an engraved name; this goes further: an original song about their own life, written from what your family tells us, with vocals, cover artwork and a private page. Unlike most grandparents gift ideas, it works as a gift for grandma and grandpa together, or for just one of them.

How it works

Three steps, one sitting

Of all the gift ideas for grandparents, this is the one they can't buy themselves.

01

Gather the family details

Where they met, the job, the caravan, the thing they always say. Ask the grandkids — they remember the good bits.

02

Choose the feeling and the voice

Gentle acoustic, big band, gospel, something with a bit of swing — and the vocal you want, including voice gender.

03

Play it to them

Hand over the gift page at the table, or put the video on the TV at Christmas and watch the room go quiet.
