Ways to use SpeakSake in your life
Whether you’re gathering a big group for a birthday SpeakSake, or your immediate family for a Father’s Day SpeakSake, everyone will have fun participating in this unique gift experience!
You can even give a SpeakSake from just one person (i.e. husband to wife, daughter to mother, sister to sister or friend to friend). Record a single message or have fun calling in a series of messages for the recipient! A SpeakSake from one person to another makes an incredibly meaningful gift.

“She listened to it on Tuesday morning before she wanted to go shopping. She gave me a call at about 1 p.m. and told me that she hasn’t been able to go shopping yet because she was crying the whole morning, being so touched. So it was a total success. Thanks again for having created such a wonderful possibility…”
– Katrin F.
“We have had so much fun doing this! I can’t wait until my mom hears the CD – I know that she will be thrilled.”

Imagine her face when she hears the voices of her family – instant tears of happiness!
It will make her day to hear her children say “I love you, Mom.” Hearing her kids describe their happiest memories with her is something she’ll treasure forever.
She’ll also love having the voices of her family preserved in heirloom quality. Imagine how she’ll feel when she hears her children’s voices ten years from now!
Call in a series of messages – anytime you think of a memory or something you love about her, you can simply pick up the phone and leave your thoughts.
Each person can call in messages on their own, or have fun doing it together as a family. Reminiscing, telling stories and laughing with each other will be a happy memory in itself!
Ideas for young children
– Get them talking about their mom (or any topic) – the possibilities are endless because anything her kids say is precious to her!
– You can help the kids call in a series of messages by having them answer a different question on each call. Or you can record a longer conversation with them. You’ll have fun hearing their adorable responses!
– Questions to ask: What do you love about your mom? What are your favorite memories of her? What are your favorite things about her? What is she really good at? What has your mom taught you? What has she given you? Do you have any advice for her?
– Ask them to tell her a story or joke. Have them sing her a song or read her something.
Ideas for older children
– What are some of your favorite memories of your mom? Take your time and describe each memory. Let her know why it’s a good memory and why it stands out in your mind.
– What do you love about your mom? What are your favorite things about her? What do you appreciate about your mom? Why is she a great mom?
– What has she taught you? How has she impacted your life?
– Say something to make your mom laugh – a joke, funny story, impersonation, song – whatever strikes you!
Ideas for spouses
– What are some of your favorite memories of your wife with your children?
– Tell her what you love and appreciate about her. What does she do for your kids that you appreciate? What makes her a great mom? What are some of your favorite things about her? Why are you glad that she’s in your life?
– Make her laugh with a joke or funny story.
– Your message can be simple – she’ll appreciate anything you say because it shows her you care. No matter what you say, you’ll make her feel loved. Just have fun with your message!
“I love the ease of creating this audible time capsule that can be passed down from generation to generation.”

Make it an annual tradition to share your favorite family memories!
Whether it’s a small group or big group–immediate or extended family–everyone will have fun sharing stories and listening back as the years pass. A great activity for reunions, vacations, holidays or anytime.
It’s also perfect for people who can’t be together in person to be included in the group. A way to come together whether you’re near one another or miles apart.
“I participated in one of these and had a blast. I then had the happy opportunity to listen to one in the company of the recipients of the gift. Boy did they light up with happiness and crying! …Speaksake is a great idea being delivered by a great team of people, which makes for a great product that everyone can feel really great about…”
– Aaron L.
Welcome a new life into the world!
Share your special memories of their parents and wishes for their future.
It will be a treasured experience for new parents to hear the love, support and happiness from friends and family. And it will only become more meaningful when, years later, they can play the SpeakSake for their child.
“Thank you again for providing this opportunity to give my mom something that she has been missing so much since being hospitalized for such an extended time – hearing the people she loves.”

Use a SpeakSake to cheer up a sick loved one, friend or colleague. Hearing voices of support lets them know how much everyone cares.
Come together to cheer someone on and wish them well. Perfect for celebrating a new job, a trip to the playoffs or a move to a new town.
Have a loved one in the military? What could be a better gift than a collection of the voices of their friends & family. Send them updates, stories and lots of support.
A great way to show you care. Use it for an occasion we haven’t listed yet, or offer support, appreciation or condolences to someone in your life.
Watch someone light up with surprise and happiness when they open their SpeakSake during the holidays!
Imagine grandparents hearing their grandchildren say “Merry Christmas, Grandma and Grandpa! We love you!” Or a holiday host hearing guests say thanks. Or a friend hearing how much everyone in her life cares about her.
You can create a SpeakSake while everyone is gathered together or miles apart.
SpeakSake perfectly fits the mood of the holiday season – a time of the year when we tend to reflect, get swept up in the nostalgia of memories, count our blessings, reach out to others and simply think more about the people in our lives. Let everyone be a part of the warmth with a gift that will stand out from the others and be remembered long after the holidays end.
