A personalised poem for your wife

The gift she'll actually keep

Flowers fade and candles burn down. A poem about your life together is the kind of gift that ends up framed in the hallway, tucked in a memory box, or read aloud at the next big anniversary. It works because it's specific. It doesn't say "you mean the world to me". It remembers the rain in Whitby, the hall light she leaves on, and the last biscuit she saves for you.

You tell us a few details about her, and we write a rhyming poem around them. Then you choose a design and download a print-ready A4 PDF. Most people finish in about five minutes.

For Claire — Our Twelfth Anniversary

Twelve years since Whitby and the rain that chased us laughing down the pier, the soggy chips, the stranded train — and I'd relive it every year. You leave the hall light on for me however late I'm getting in, and save the crossword clue, the tea, the last good biscuit in the tin. So here's to twelve, and all the rest: the hall light on, the kettle's hum. I'll take the grand days — but the best are ordinary days to come.

— With love, Tom

What to tell us about her

The best poems come from small, specific details. You don't need to be a writer. A few honest notes are plenty. Here are some ideas:

  • How you met, or a moment you'll never forget, like a first date, a holiday that went wrong, or the day the kids were born.
  • A habit that's completely her, like singing the wrong lyrics, reading the last page first, or talking to the plants.
  • Something she always says, whether it's a catchphrase, a family saying, or the way she answers the phone.
  • Names worth mentioning, such as the children, the dog, or a place that matters to you both.
  • How she makes you feel, in your own words. Safe, lucky, at home and understood are all good answers.

Even one good detail makes a difference. If you leave everything blank, you'll still get a lovely poem, just a less personal one.

Perfect for every occasion

  • Anniversaries: a poem printed on paper is a ready-made first (paper) anniversary gift, and it suits every year after that too. See our anniversary poems.
  • Her birthday, especially a milestone like 30, 40, 50 or 60.
  • Valentine's Day, when you want something more personal than chocolates.
  • Mother's Day, written from you and the children together.
  • Just because, which is often when a poem means the most.
