Christmas record gift being packed: Vinnie, our clay record character, in a Santa hat and apron, tapes a record into its mailer among ribbon-tied presents while a colleague in a Santa hat holds the tape.

Personalised Christmas gifts · cut in our workshop

Make Them a Record
for Christmas.

Their song and your photo, cut one at a time on our own lathes. Or give a voucher and let them choose the music themselves.

Two ways to do it

Two Doors. Take Either One.

One takes an evening and ends up as a record. The other takes a minute and arrives by email.

Make the Record

Upload the songs and a photo, watch the actual record turn in 3D, then we cut and print it in our workshop.

7-inch picture discs from £17.00

Give the Voucher

They pick the song themselves and make the record in January.

£25 · £50 · £75 · £100, or any amount from £20 to £250

What people give

Three Records People Give at Christmas.

A gift for a music lover starts with the person. The song and the size follow.

Christmas picture disc gift: by the tree and a roaring fire, a couple in Santa hats unwrap a heart-shaped picture disc printed with a photo of the two of them screaming on a rollercoaster; a cat peers out of the top of the tree, a dog chases its tail, and Vinnie, in his apron, Santa hat and a fluffy costume beard, brings two mugs of cocoa.

For a Partner

For your wife, husband, girlfriend or boyfriend.

The song from your wedding, or from the first holiday you took together. Heart-shaped, with stickers in the box.

It was a great gift for my boyfriend; he loves it.
Ewelina M.

From £27.00

Christmas dinner: a daughter gives her mum a record and her mum hugs it, beaming, while Vinnie, in a Santa beard and tinsel scarf, stirs the gravy and doesn't look.

For a Parent

For mum or dad, or a grandparent.

The song they danced to, and a photo from that year. Every picture disc has a matt-white back, so you can write your message straight onto the record.

The gift was truly loved … it was lovely to see their reactions as to which song was coming next.
Hollie A.

From £17.00

A teenager in striped pyjamas air-guitars on the bed, holding up a record of their own band, while Vinnie in a Santa hat and beard nods along from the doorway.

For a Music Maker

For the musician in the family.

Their own tracks, on a record they can hold. 12-inch classic vinyl, both sides play, in a card sleeve.

I ordered two of their custom Vinyls for Christmas for my boyfriend and it was perfect!

What Our Customers Are Saying

Before you order

Got Questions?

What if it doesn’t arrive before Christmas?

Your order shows its estimated dispatch date before you pay, worked out from our current workload, and checkout gives an estimated delivery range for your country. If the day itself matters most, give a voucher instead, and they design the record in the new year.

Can I send it straight to them?

Yes. Put their address in at checkout and the record goes to them instead of to you.

Can I use a song I bought?

Yes, for private use, under our MCPS-PRS Limited Manufacture licence. What we can’t make is an exact copy of an existing album.

Which photos can I use?

Your own. No album covers, band logos or celebrity photos — we have no licence for those.

Do they need a record player?

To play it, yes. Every size except the 5-inch plays on a normal turntable. The 5-inch is experimental and doesn’t play on every deck.

How many songs fit?

A 7-inch picture disc holds one song (up to 6 minutes) and the heart up to 8½ minutes. A 10-inch picture disc holds up to 14 minutes and a 12-inch picture disc up to 20, both on one playing side. A 12-inch classic vinyl holds up to 20 minutes on each of its two sides. The playlist builder in the designer shows what fits as you add each song.

Can I add a message or their name?

Yes. Write it on the matt-white back of any picture disc, print it on the centre label, or put it on a printed cover. The labels and covers are added in the designer.
