The smallest gift under the tree. The only one still playing in January.
It is the same conversation every year: mum wants nothing, dad 'maybe something small', and grandma tells you to keep your money. Those are exactly the people we write songs for, built from your shared memories, with their name sung, in studio quality.
And because the song arrives as a download, it still works when photo books and engraved gifts closed their order windows weeks ago.
Whether you are giving on your own or splitting it with your siblings, whether Christmas is six weeks away or four days: there is a plan for both further down.
Für jedes Pflaster
A love letter to mum
For every call, every band-aid, every 'It'll be okay'.
For people who want nothing
People who want nothing usually own everything that can be ordered. Another jumper, another gift set, another voucher: all been done. What mum, dad or the grandparents do not have is a song with their own life in it. The phrase dad says before every long drive. The tune mum hums while baking, the same one for thirty years. Details like these become the lyrics, written by hand in Freiburg. Then comes a modern production in a style that suits the person, and every finished production is checked by ear before it goes out. You receive the song as a download with its own song page. On Christmas Eve all it takes is a phone and a speaker, and by the second line the living room has gone quiet.
Christmas holds one advantage over every other occasion: the whole family is in the same room. A song for mum is therefore rarely a gift from one person. Siblings often club together, one collects memories in the group chat, another fills in the questionnaire. That takes about ten minutes, and the more concrete the answers, the more personal the lyrics become. What belongs in it? The rituals nobody outside the family knows, from the sausages-and-potato-salad rule on the 24th to the yearly debate about a tree that is once again too big. Split three ways, even the Meisterstück at €149 turns into an ordinary Christmas budget. And on the evening itself you need no box: You set up the speaker, press play and watch the faces. If you still want something to unwrap, print the lyric card that comes with the Lieblingslied as a PDF.
And if it is already mid-December? That is where a download earns its keep. Photo books and engraved gifts close their order windows long before the holidays; a song needs no shipping at all. The Herzlied is ready in 72 hours, the Lieblingslied in 48, the Meisterstück in 24. Order by 20 December and any package arrives with room to spare, including time for a lyric revision; one is included with the Lieblingslied, three with the Meisterstück. A Meisterstück ordered on 22 December can still work, but it is cutting it fine, and the 23rd is tighter still. We would rather say that plainly than promise something we cannot keep. Either way, you hear the song first and decide yourself when it goes under the tree.
What songs for your own family sound like
Two real commissions, sung in German: one for a mother, one for a father. Exactly the kind of song that ends up under the tree.
Papa, mein Held
For a special father
You never said much. But you meant every word.
Three steps to the tree
You tell the story
In the questionnaire you describe the person the song is for: memories, quirks, shared moments. Ten minutes is enough. If you are giving as siblings, gather beforehand what belongs in it.
We write and produce
Sven Pflüger writes the lyrics from your answers, then the production follows in a fitting style. Calm and festive or upbeat, whatever suits the person.
You put it under the tree
Depending on the package, the song is ready in 24 to 72 hours, as a download with its own song page. You listen before anyone else, and only then does it go under the tree.
Two real reactions
My sister gave me a song about our childhood and our mum. I'm sitting here and the tears are coming again.
My dad listened to his song at least ten times. Easily the best gift I've ever given.
Common questions about Christmas songs
Order by 20 December and you are safe with any package. The Herzlied takes up to 72 hours, the Lieblingslied 48, the Meisterstück 24. A Meisterstück ordered on 22 December can still work, but it is tight, and little time remains for lyric revisions. If in doubt, a day earlier.
No voucher this year
Ten minutes of questionnaire, a handful of honest memories. On Christmas Eve there is something under the tree that no shop could have sold you.
