Thoughtful Christmas gifts for your girlfriend (not another candle)
She'll be gracious about the candle. You want a gift that shows you really know her. Start here.
Our pick
A song written about her
The night you met, the little things she does, what she means to you. Tell us and we write and produce an original song about her, with her name in it. It's the gift that shows you were listening all year.
1. Share a few memories
Her name, who she is to you and a few things only you would know. It takes about two minutes.
2. We write and produce the song
An original song built from your words, with the name in it. You get a free preview by email.
3. Hear it and keep it forever
Unlock it and it's yours: the song, the lyrics and a link to share. Download included.
Free preview by email. Arrives by email, no shipping.

Her favorite things, done properly
The coffee she loves, the book she's been eyeing, wrapped with a note. Small, specific and clearly from someone who notices.

Questions
How long does it take?
It arrives by email within the hour, and always within 24 hours. There's no shipping, so even the last few days before Christmas are fine.
What do I need to share?
Her name, who she is to you and a few memories: a habit, something she always says, a favorite place, a moment you'll never forget. The more detail you give, the more personal the song.
Can I hear it first?
Yes. Every song comes with a free preview, sent by email, so you can hear it before you decide.
Can I change it?
Yes. Once you unlock the song, changes to the lyrics, the style or the voice are included until it's right.
Is it a physical gift?
No, it's digital: a download, the lyrics and a private link. Play it on Christmas morning, send it to her if you're apart this year, or add a video of your photos to play on the TV.
The gift nobody else can give
Two minutes to tell us about them. A free preview by email. It arrives by email, no shipping.
