Sentimental Christmas gifts for the husband who's impossible to buy for
He already has the tools, the gadgets and the socks. What he doesn't have is something that's only about him.
Our pick
A song written about him
The way you met, what he does for the family, the joke only you two get. Tell us and we write and produce an original song about him, with his name in it. It's the gift he won't see coming.
1. Share a few memories
His name, who he 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.
More ideas we genuinely like
- 2
A letter he can keep in his wallet
A short note on why you chose him, folded small enough to carry everywhere.
- 3
An experience with a date on it
The game, the course, the trip he keeps mentioning. Book it, don't just talk about it.
- 4
A day where he plans nothing
You handle the kids, the jobs and the dinner. He gets a whole day off.
- 5
A photo book of your years together
The wedding, the moves, the everyday moments. Order early: printing and delivery slow down in December.
- 6
The upgrade he'll never buy himself
The wallet that's falling apart, the jacket he's worn for ten years. Useful, and he'll know you noticed.
Why the song is still number one
Everything else on this list is good. Only the song is entirely about him, and it 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?
His name, who he is to you and a few memories: a habit, something he 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 him 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.
