What is the best gift for someone special? I found the best gift for someone special and when I gave it; the whole room was in tears; happy tears. My gift was a song! I don’t know the first thing about writing a song and I don’t have any musical talent. Anyone can do it and it’s FUN!
This post talks about the best gift for someone special.
What is it?
Have you ever heard of Songfinch? Songfinch is a website that is home to a group of artists who will create a custom song for you. Truly, this gift works for anyone and any occasion. Your song can be funny or romantic or supportive; whatever fits the person and the occasion. That’s why it’s a perfect gift that makes it unique to every recipient.

How does it work?
Songfinch starts by asking you to fill out some prompts. What is the occasion you are wanting a song for and why is your recipient so special? Then you will pick a genre and artist that fits the mood of your intention. You will be able to see a photo of the artists and hear a sample of their voice and style. I found this part really fun and had a hard time narrowing down my artist selection; so many sounded great. Next, you will answer some prompts about what you want to say; what are your connections and memories with your special person? I filled this section out with snippets of things I loved about my person or things that were meaningful memories but you can write anything you want depending on the occasion and recipient. This is the part I was most worried about when I submitted my form because I just gave short-word answers but they ended up being great prompts for the artist to do her magic. The artist who wrote and performed my song was Sydney Matlock.
How long does it take?
It takes about a week from the time of submission to get your song. You can select a delivery date on the website. You will get a notification that your song is ready on your song page. If revisions are wanted or needed be sure to read the revisions page on the website as some are included at no charge and some are at an extra charge.
What is the cost?
The cost for a custom song is about $200. Add-ons are available for additional costs. I ordered a digital lyric print (29.99) as a keepsake so I could have something to wrap to gift. I purchased the streaming version of my song on Spotify so we could add it to our playlist and share it with family. (49.99). I loved this option and think it was well worth the cost. There are other add-ons available such as vinyl, cd, metal QR plaque, etc. You also have the option to add a tip for the artist.
How did it turn out?
The song my artist created was filled with memories and parts of our life that are most meaningful to us. When it was time to open the gift we all gathered and played our song. Not a dry eye in the house; including the kids which is a tough crowd for sure. Statistics show about 67 percent of gifts given are never used; not this one!
