★★★★★
More than just a decoration
The look is what caught my eye, but the voice recording is what won me over. Having a personal message tucked inside turns it into something we’ll hold onto, not just another ornament that goes back in storage in January.

Perfect for grandparents
The kids took turns recording a holiday greeting for Grandma and Grandpa, and it was the highlight of their morning. Hearing little voices come out of a decoration is hard to beat, and the tiny tree inside is a sweet touch.

Such a meaningful Christmas gift
I got this for my parents and filled it with a message from the whole family. At first they just admired it as a pretty piece of décor, but once they heard our voices, their faces changed. I have a feeling it’ll come out of the box every December.

The reaction was priceless
I was tired of the usual gift routine, and this was a great change of pace. I left a message for my family, and seeing their faces when they played it for the first time was my favorite moment of the holiday. It looks lovely on the shelf, too.

So easy to use
I assumed setting up the recording would be a hassle, but it took just a few minutes. Our message was saved before I knew it, and the finished piece looked even nicer than the photos. A really original gift idea.

Our promise

Shop early. Record it. Test it. Wrap it.

Choose your gifts early, then add the part only you can give: your voice. Your 60-day guarantee starts on delivery.

Record a quick hello, then lift the cork

Batteries in, hold the button and talk, then lift the cork and listen. It takes a minute, and you'll know it works.

Silent or cracked? Email us. Nothing to send back.

If it won't record or play, or the glass arrives cracked (send a photo of the crack), we make it right with a new bottle or your money back.

60 days, starting the day it's delivered

Not the day you order. So a bottle delivered on or after October 27 is still covered on Christmas Day.

Questions before you order? Email hearthsideheirloom@outlook.com. A real person answers.

How it works

Have it sent to you. Record. Wrap. Lift the cork.

It arrives blank, so the hello you record is the one they hear.

A hand lifting the cork out of the bottle, holding it just above the open neck, by a lit Christmas tree.
1Have it sent to you

Order it to your own door first, even if it's going to the grandkids.

2Record your hello

Put in the 2 AAA batteries. Hold the record button, say your hello, and let go. Not happy with it? Record again. The new one replaces the old one.

3Wrap it, or send it on

Push the cork back in and wrap it. It comes in its own padded box.

4They lift the cork

Lift the cork and it plays. Push it back in and it stops. A "Lift the cork" tag tells them how it plays.

If this sounds like you

You can't be there Christmas morning. Your voice can.

A woman's hands lifting the bottle out of a kraft gift box with tissue paper, on a plaid blanket, with red wrapping paper beside it.

The grandkids are a few states away now. You see them a few times a year, and a phone call with the little one lasts about a minute. You save every voicemail they leave and play them back. Every visit, they sound a little older.

This year, send them your voice, not just a box.

Record a short Christmas hello: their names, Merry Christmas, I love you. Wrap it and send it. On Christmas morning someone lifts the cork, and there you are, in their living room.

When the paper's cleared away, it sits on a shelf, and they can lift the cork whenever they miss you.

Two ways to fill it

Record yours for them. Or keep theirs with you.

Your voice, for them

Record your hello and send it to the grandkids' house. Say their names. Tell them you'll see them soon.

Their voices, for you

Or have your daughter record the little ones, and keep it on your nightstand. A "Merry Christmas, Grandma," their little laugh, whatever fits in one short message.

Your phone already keeps their voicemails. This puts a voice on the mantel, where anyone can lift the cork, no passcode needed.

What's in the box, close up

Take a closer look.

The tree inside, the base with its battery door and speaker, and the padded box each bottle ships in.

Close-up through the glass: a frosted bottle-brush tree with a gold star and tiny red, blue, green and gold baubles on white faux snow.

Its padded box, with the batteries, card and tag
  • The bottle, with the tree and snow fixed inside. It isn't a snow globe: there's no water, and nothing moves.
  • 2 AAA batteries
  • A card with the recording steps
  • A "Lift the cork" tag, so whoever opens it knows how it plays
  • Its own padded box. It's glass, so if one arrives cracked, send us a photo and we make it right with a new one or your money back.
One for every house

One to send, one to keep.

One for the grandkids' house. One for your daughter to fill with the kids' voices for you. One for the other grandma.

  • The Family Set, $89.98 — one for every house. Buy two, get one free, so that's $29.99 a bottle.Comes with free shipping protection, a large-print recording guide, a spare battery pack and gift boxes for all three.

Shipping protection, free: if your package is lost or stolen on the way, we send another one.

Large-print recording guide: the steps in big, clear type, so whoever records doesn't need their glasses or a phone.

Gift boxes for all three: a gift box for each bottle, ready to hand over or post on.

Good to know

One short hello, at a set volume.

Better you hear it from us now than find out on Christmas morning.

What it does

  • Plays your message when the cork comes out, and stops when it goes back in. It stays quiet with the cork in.
  • Holds one short message: room for "Merry Christmas, Grandma, we love you" and everyone's names.
  • Records over as often as you like. Each new message replaces the last.
  • Keeps your message when the batteries come out.

What it doesn't

  • Hold a song or a long story. It's made for one short hello.
  • Go louder. It's one small speaker at a set volume, made for a quiet room, not a noisy party.
  • Light up, or swirl like a snow globe. The snow is fixed in place.
  • Hang from a thin branch. It's about 8 inches tall and glass.
  • Belong in little hands. It's a decoration, not a toy: glass with small parts. Keep it out of reach of young children. A child can talk into it while you hold it.
  • Copy your message to a phone or computer. Record it on your phone too, so you have a copy.

Yes, 2 AAA are in the box. The Family Set also comes with a spare battery pack, a spare pair for each bottle.
It arrives blank, so have it sent to you first, record your hello, then wrap it and send it on.
It's about 8 inches tall and glass, so it's happiest on a mantel, shelf or table. The ribbon loop at the cork needs a strong hook.
Yes, the bottle is glass, so handle it with care.
No. There are no lights inside.
One small speaker at a set volume, made for a quiet room. There's no volume knob.
Yes. Play it from your phone close to the bottle while you hold the record button. Keep the original on your phone too.

No. It's a glass decoration with small parts, so keep it out of reach of young children. A child can talk into it while you hold it.
We can't promise a number of years: it runs on batteries and it's glass. Keep a copy of your message on your phone too.
That's the good kind of cry, and it's yours to play whenever you miss them.
Every order ships free with tracking. If you need it by a certain day, email us before you order and we'll give you an honest answer.
