A last-minute birthday gift that does not feel last-minute.
The short answer

Why this works when you need a personal gift quickly.

A meaningful gift does not need shipping, a large budget or weeks of planning. It needs evidence that you know the person. Dear Arthur uses the details only you can supply, then creates an original song with lyrics, vocals and music around them.

What to put in it

Four details that make it sound like them.

01

One memory you can both picture instantly

02

Their funniest habit

03

A quick wish for the year ahead

04

The person or group the song is from

You do not need to write lyrics. Write naturally, as if you were telling a friend why this person matters. Dear Arthur turns those ingredients into the song. Or use the free song idea generator to build a starting brief.
