Real Dad, Real Song: Why This Custom Father’s Day Gift Hit So Hard

If you’re hunting for unique Father’s Day gifts that actually make an impact - skip the socks and mugs this year. At Verse Things First, we create fully personalised songs based on your real stories. Because let’s face it: the best gifts aren’t store-bought. They’re sung.

Take this one, for example - written for a first-time dad named Drew.

🎵 A Father’s Day Gift That Brought Everyone to Tears

When Drew’s wife came to us, she had a long list of memories. From the moment he saw that positive test, Drew was all in. He booked same-day blood tests. He got the zoomies at Baby Bunting. He insisted on a Toy Story-themed nursery. He showed up at every scan, supported her through a difficult pregnancy, and even scoped out where to plug in his PlayStation during their “dress rehearsal” hospital visit.

And when their son was born? Drew went above and beyond. He cleaned bottles, sang silly nappy-change songs, cried behind the vaccination curtain, and somehow made “Yoghurt Only Dad” into a loveable identity.

We turned these memories into this original piece:

🎶 “Zoomies in Baby Bunting, on a Toy Story spree / Said, ‘He needs this Buzz Lightyear toy, just trust me.’”

🎶 “From panic buys to lullaby tunes / You light our son’s whole world — and mine too.”

🎧 More Than a Song - It’s a Story

This isn’t a generic message with a name slapped on top. It’s a custom Father’s Day gift made from the little things only his family would know. The stuff that makes him him.

Every line of the song is written from scratch. Every melody is professionally produced. And every dad who receives one gets a unique keepsake that captures who he is, what he’s done, and why he’s so loved.

💡 Why It Matters

In a sea of barbecue tools and engraved key rings, custom songs are standing out as one of the most personalised Father’s Day gifts in Australia. And for good reason — they’re emotional, surprising, and unforgettable.

Ready to Make Him Cry? (In the Best Way)

This Father’s Day, don’t settle for average. Give him something that sounds like his story. A gift that laughs, cries, and sings - just like he does.
