What It Is: Do you have a ‘song’ with a special someone in your life? If you really think about it, though, is that song even yours? How many other couples have danced to the same song or had similar memories to it? What did the writer have in mind when they first penned it? Well my friends, those quandaries are no more, with Bespoke Songs, a UK-based outfit that creates one-of-a-kind tunes for a reasonable fee. Start the songwriting process with artist Lotte Mullan, who takes your inspiration and stories and weaves them into a perfectly crafted song to suit your subject and scene. Before Lotte actually goes into the studio to record, you also get to vet the lyrics to make sure they’re the perfect way to express I love you (or whatever the case may be). The final product is delivered in a cute, vinyl-inspired package, including lyrics to the song and your name on the disc.
Who It’s For: Your boyfriend or girlfriend, as the perfect backdrop to a perfect proposal. Your fiancee, as a great first dance pick that’s as unique as your love. Your long-time spouse (or married parents), as a delightful anniversary present.
What It Costs: About $765 USD.
Where It’s At: You can contact Lotte directly on her site; I also discovered you can buy direct from Ahalife.
BONUS entry into my Memoire Liquide giveaway – tell me in the comments below, thoughts on this lovely gift idea?
Unique & long lasting idea!
Not something I would be interested in.
I’m not creative enough for this, I’m afraid.
I love this as a gift for a wedding or your sweetheart! I just wish it was a little cheaper!
This is adorable! I would definitely get this for my parents for an anniversary gift.
I think this is a tad saccharine and frankly, not a personal gesture but a purchased surrogate. No offense to the artist, she’s just trying to make a living.
This is not something I would be interested in but it certainly is a unique gift.
what a unique idea and gift!
It is an interesting idea but way beyond my budget.
Memoire liquide bonus entry -nice idea but does the song just arrive on a vinyl copy (wondering since hardly anyone has a record player anymore). needs to be something that can be played. lovely idea though.
Hi Shelley! It comes on a CD that *looks* like a vinyl record – but it is definitely just a CD!
It’s very unique but it’s not something I would go for.
Unique idea, although a little expensive.
