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!

Add a song to their message

Each person can pick a song that reminds them of Mum. It plays from their place in the podcast, and prints on their page in the book.

One link for everyone

They can each record a message on their own phone. Nobody needs an account.

Voice, video or writing

Everyone can answer their own way, with a voice note, a video or a few written lines.

Scan the page and hear their voice!

A code under each message plays the voice from the book. You can switch the codes off if you'd like the page without them.

Turn on chip-in and everyone can put money towards the book.

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 Mum.

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 most about Mum?
  2. What does Mum do that makes it feel like Christmas?
  3. What's your favourite Christmas memory with Mum?
  4. What's something Mum always says?
  5. What has Mum taught you?
  6. What would you like to thank Mum for this Christmas?
  7. What do you wish Mum for the year ahead?
  8. What do you want to say to Mum this Christmas?

Questions people ask

Can her grandchildren take part?

Yes! Small ones talk while a parent holds the phone, and older ones record on their own.

Can family abroad record a message?

Yes! They open the link on their phone wherever they live and record. Every voice plays in the one podcast on Christmas morning.

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.

Will Mum find out before Christmas?

Only if you tell her! She doesn't need to do anything, so it can stay a surprise until Christmas morning.

Does anyone need to download an app?

No. Everyone opens the link, taps record and talks, on any phone or laptop.

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.
