Celebrate Alison with a surprise audio postcard.

Alison is turning 50 on 5th August — and something beautiful is being created just for her.

A collection of audio postcards will arrive as little surprises in Alison’s inbox in the days and weeks after her birthday. Like opening a letter from a friend, each one is a voice note just for her — extending her celebrations with love.

You’re invited to share a few minutes of your memories in a gift Alison will treasure forever.

Follow five simple prompts to record your message.

It’s as simple as leaving a voicemail — no camera, no fuss, just your voice. Speak directly to Alison, as if she’s right there with you. That’s where the magic happens.

Please record your message before Sunday 2nd August, 5pm, to be part of this special gift.

With thanks,
Rachel and Louise
