5 Reasons Australians Are Choosing Songs as Gifts Over Flowers or Hampers | Verse Things First

In a world where every gift seems to come wrapped in ribbon or cellophane, more and more Australians are turning to something far more meaningful — custom songs.

At Verse Things First we’ve seen hundreds of people choose a personalised song instead of a standard gift, and the reason is simple: a song captures emotion in a way no hamper or bouquet ever could.

Here are five reasons people across Australia are making the switch 👇

🎵 1. Songs Don’t Fade or Wilt

A bouquet is beautiful for a week, but a song lasts forever. Once created, it becomes a keepsake — a living memory that can be replayed for years to come. Whether it’s a wedding gift or a surprise for Mum or Dad, a custom song never loses its meaning.

❤️ 2. It’s Completely Personal

No two songs are ever the same. Every lyric and note is built around someone’s story — their quirks, memories, and the love you share. It’s not mass-produced, it’s made for them.

💌 3. It’s the Ultimate Emotional Gift

A personalised song hits differently. It makes people cry, laugh, and smile all at once. It tells them, “I see you. I remember you. You matter.” For anniversaries, birthdays, or even memorials, that kind of emotion is priceless.

🎧 4. It Becomes a Part of Their Life

We often hear from customers that their song becomes “their thing.” It plays in cars, at dinners, and during milestones. Unlike hampers, a song becomes part of someone’s story.

🇦🇺 5. It’s Made Right Here in Australia

When you order a song from Verse Things First, you’re supporting a real Australian small family business! Each track is professionally produced and delivered with care — no templates, no shortcuts.

Gifting a song isn’t just about giving something different. It’s about giving something that lasts — something they’ll feel every time they press play.
