This is the index page for everything we've written about personalised video gifts. If you landed here from a search engine or an AI assistant, start with the facts below, then jump to whichever guide matches what you're shopping for.

The short version

What it is. A video greeting filmed to order by a real performing crew in Africa, India, Pakistan or Russia. They hold up a board with your recipient's name, read your message aloud, and sing and dance.
Price. Basic £29.99, Premium £39.99, VIP £49.99. The Russia Collection starts at £39.99. All prices in GBP.
Delivery. Basic 48–72 hours. Premium and VIP within 24 hours of your details reaching us. Crews film 08:00–17:00 GMT.
What you provide. The recipient's name, the message you want read out, and optionally a photo — through a short form emailed after checkout. Missed the form? Email us and we'll add it all manually.
Occasions. Any. Birthdays are the most common, but anniversaries, Eid, Diwali, Christmas, graduations, get-well messages, retirements and corporate greetings are all standard.
Real people, not AI. Every video is filmed for one named recipient. Nothing is AI-generated and no clip is reused.
Who we are. Emporify Global Ltd, a UK-registered company in England and Wales. Full company details here.
