For Christmas

A Christmas gift for Granny and Grandad from all the grandkids!

We think grandparents are the heart of Christmas, and they love hearing from the grandkids more than anything! Use Chorus to gather video, voice, photo and written messages from the children and grandchildren, near and far.

Gathering everyone's messages is free. You won't need a card.

The podcast link is brilliant - you just get things you couldn't get in a book like laughing or the background in a recording! I am so happy we have this for all the grandkids.

SUPER idea. In a world where we're all so disconnected, capturing all the things we mean to each other is just priceless. Make the time, do it!

How it works

Getting everyone in is easy!

The page everyone sees when they open the link, with a name typed in
1. Send the link to the group chat. They open it on their own phone and say who they are.
The recording screen, with a question and a big record button
2. They tap and talk. Or write it instead, or ask for a different question.
The video screen, with someone on camera answering the question
3. Or they film a video. They look at the camera and say it straight to Granny and Grandad.

When everyone's in, you choose the podcast, the book online or the printed book.

The questions

One good question can unlock a great story!

Three of these go in the book to start. Swap in any you like, or write your own.

  1. What do you love about Granny and Grandad?
  2. What's the best thing about Christmas at Granny and Grandad's?
  3. What do you love doing with Granny and Grandad?
  4. What's something Granny and Grandad taught you?
  5. What's your favourite thing Granny and Grandad say?
  6. What would you like to thank Granny and Grandad for?
  7. What do you wish Granny and Grandad for the year ahead?
  8. What do you want to say to Granny and Grandad this Christmas?

Questions people ask

Can small children take part?

Yes! A parent holds the phone while they talk. They can add a photo of a drawing with their message too.

Can grandkids abroad record a message?

Yes! They can each record a message on their own phone wherever they live, and Granny and Grandad hear them all from one link.

When do I need to order for Christmas?

Order by Friday 4 December to have the printed book for Christmas morning. The podcast and the book online are ready the day you order.

Can we make it for just Granny or just Grandad?

Yes. You say who the book is for when you start it.

Does anyone need to download an app?

No. The link opens in the browser on any phone or laptop, and there's nothing to sign up for.

Can someone write their message instead?

Yes. Anyone can type their message instead of recording it, and add a photo with it.

Can everyone chip in?

Yes, if you turn chip-in on. What everyone puts in comes off what you pay.
