This is the ultimate way to send an important message, declaration, dedication or tribute (...or communicate with aliens - depending on your beliefs!)
Once the message has been decided upon, the recipient must provide us with the text, along with the confirmation certificate delivery address. They can complete this process online or by completing and returning the enclosed gift registration sheet - full instructions are enclosed in their gift box.
The message is then sent to a space broadcast centre in North America where it is encoded by a computer into a format that is suitable for transmission. The message is then sent into space using a laser telescope with the message theoretically being detectable for over 1,000 years - some experts even saying forever.
After registration:
You will receive a certificate confirming your message and when it began its journey.

FAQ’s
How do I provide you with the message?
You can either do this online or by returning the gift registration sheet by post. To ensure accuracy and a decreased turnaround time, it is advised that you complete your registration online. Full instructions of how to register are included in the gift box.
What can the message include?
Your message can be up to a total 128 characters in length. It can contain any content at all, as long as it does not violate any British law, contain explicit language or advocate violence against others. Gift Republic has the right to withhold any message if the content is deemed unsuitable.
Could my message be intercepted by aliens?
The possibility of life outside our home planet is becoming more widely accepted. If there is such a thing, and they are at a similar technological level to here on Earth, then there is a chance that your message could be read by them!
What happens if the beam hits an object in outer space?
Like a torch, your message beam will get wider and wider as it travels through space so neither planets, stars or any other space objects will stop its journey.
How will I know that my message has been sent?
Your confirmation certificate will be dispatched to you within 7 days of your message beginning its journey. This certificate will state the message and date that it began its journey.
How long do I have to register my gift?
