Guides

What to write in the card, what to say in the toast, what to give the person who has everything. Answers first, then the song if you want it.

How these pages work

Lines you can copy

Card lines and toasts, with copy buttons

Sorted by time

Thirty seconds, one hour, a weekend

What to skip

The gifts and lines that land wrong

When a song says it

Only where a card is too small

Six guides

The short version

The first answer from every page. Open the page for the lines, the timings and the sources.

  1. What to write in a birthday card for mom

    The formula. One specific memory, what it told you about her, one wish for the year ahead. Three sentences is enough.

  2. What to write in an anniversary card

    The formula. Where you started, one thing you have learned about them since, and what you want next. Three sentences.

  3. Gifts for the mom who has everything

    The rule. If she could buy it herself, she probably has. Give something only you can give: a memory, an experience together, or something made from what you know about her.

  4. 70th birthday gift ideas that are not another sweater

    The rule. Seventy is a life-so-far birthday. The gift should carry some of that life: a story, a photograph with everyone in it, a song with the decades in the verses.

  5. A song for someone who passed away

    If you need a song by tomorrow. Choose the one they played, not the one everyone plays at funerals. Their car song beats the sad standard every time.

  6. Unique gifts for a husband who says he wants nothing

    The rule. If he wanted a thing, he bought it in March. Give him what he cannot buy: proof that you noticed what he does.

When the card is not enough

Every guide ends the same way: some things need more than four lines. These are the songs the guides point to, made from a few sentences, with the story next to the lyrics it became.
