This guide is written by Songs by Sophie. We make custom songs from your memories, and we've listed other gift ideas we genuinely like too.
First Christmas together gifts that capture your first year
Your first Christmas as a couple only happens once. Mark it with something that tells your story so far.
Our pick
A song about your first year
How you met, the first date, the moment you knew, the year you've just had together. Tell us and we write and produce an original song about them, with their name in it. A first Christmas present you'll still play on your tenth.
1. Share a few memories
Their name, who they are 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.

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?
Their name, who they are to you and a few memories: a habit, something they always say, 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 them 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.
