Thoughtful Christmas gifts for the person who is hard to buy for
Every year we end up buying another candle or gift set, because we can’t think of anything that shows we’ve really been paying attention. This year, you could give them something written around what they’re actually going through.
A personalised affirmation track is 20 affirmations written for one person, recorded in a calm voice and emailed to them on the day you choose, including Christmas morning. It starts at £7, and there isn’thing to post or wrap. Send a personalised gift or let them choose their own.
A Christmas gift that shows you were listening
The best gifts show that you know what someone is dealing with, whether that is a new job, a year of poor sleep, a loss, or a voice in their head that is too hard on them. A track is written around that one thing, so it feels personal in a way that a shop-bought gift rarely does.
They receive a downloadable audio track and the written affirmations by email. They keep the track, and they can listen on the way to work, before a big day or as they fall asleep.
Send a personalised Christmas gift
There are 2 ways to do it. If you know what they need to hear, you choose everything yourself. If you’re not sure, you choose the length and write them a message, and they pick their own focus on the day.

Christmas gift ideas for everyone on your list
Christmas gifts for mum
Mums often put everyone else first, all year. A track written around what she is carrying right now tells her you noticed, and it’s something she can listen to on her own.
Focus areas people often choose for mum: Gratitude & self-love, or Calmer parenting
Christmas gifts for her
For a partner, sister or close friend who has everything she needs, a track about the thing she keeps going on about, whether that is confidence at work or sleep, is a gift nobody else will think of.
A focus area people often choose for her: Confidence & self-esteem
Christmas gifts for him
Plenty of men will not talk about stress, sleep or money worries, but they will put headphones in. A track works quietly, and nobody else needs to know what it’s about.
Focus areas people often choose for him: Stress & anxiety relief, or Sleep
For someone who has had a hard year
After a loss, a break-up, an illness or a year that simply didn’t go to plan, a track gives them kind words to hear every day, from someone who clearly cares.
A focus area that often helps after a hard year: Grief, heartbreak & letting go
Secret Santa gifts under £10
A 5 minute track is £7 and a 10 minute track is £9. Choose the option where they pick their own focus, and it works even for a colleague you don’t know well.
The easiest option: let them choose their own focus area
For the person who has everything
Another candle or gift set is easy to forget. A personalised affirmation track is written around them, so it can’t be the same as anything else they own.
Focus areas people often choose: Motivation, or Health & vitality
Last minute Christmas gifts that still feel thoughtful
Because the gift arrives by email, it’s never too late to order. A track for today usually arrives within minutes, so you can order on Christmas Eve, or even on Christmas morning, and it still reaches them on the day.
A self-care gift they can keep coming back to
Most self-care gifts are used once. A track is something they can listen to every day, and hearing kind words about yourself again and again can change what you believe about yourself over time. You can read the research behind the methods we use on our science page.
Gifts for other times of the year
A personalised track also suits a birthday, Mother's Day, Father's Day, a new job, exams, a new baby, retirement, or the start of a new year when someone wants to make a change. You can pick a delivery date months ahead and it will arrive that morning.
Common questions
Can it arrive on Christmas Day?
Yes. You choose the delivery date when you order, and the gift arrives by email on the morning of that day, including Christmas Day. You’ll get a confirmation email straight away, so you know it’s booked.
Is it too late to order a Christmas gift?
It’s never too late, because nothing is posted. A gift for today usually arrives within minutes, so it works as a last minute Christmas gift too.
What if I don't know what they’re going through?
Choose the option where they pick for themselves. You choose the length and write them a message, and on the day they choose their own focus, sound and how they would like the affirmations to sound.
How much does a personalised gift track cost?
Gift tracks start at £7 for a 5 minute track and go up to £25 for a 4 hour track that plays through the night. Members get 30% off every gift.
Is it a good Secret Santa gift?
Yes, especially for a work Secret Santa with a budget of around £10. A 5 minute track is £7 and a 10 minute track is £9, it arrives by email, and you can let the person choose their own focus so you don’t need to know them well.
Is it private?
Yes. What they choose and anything they write stays private to them. You see the order you placed, and you don’t see what they pick.
What does the person receive?
An email with a downloadable audio track of 20 affirmations written for them, recorded in a calm voice over a background sound, plus the written affirmations so they can read them too. They keep the track and can listen as often as they like.
