Father's Day Gift Guide - memmo Edition

memmo.me is a Swedish company that has recently launched in Canada, with both nations sharing a love for hockey and having stars like Borje Salming, it seemed a perfect fit. The hockey category has been one of the most popular on the platform since launching, and with all the NHL legends available for personalized video messages, it’s no surprise as to why. 


### Here are the most popular stars on the platform right now:


**Darryl Sittler** is not only one of the most sought after hockey players on memmo.me, but is also one of the few stars on the platform who has a solid 5 star average rating. 100% happiness delivered to those who book a video message from this Hall of Famer.

One of the top 100 NHL players of all time, and a hockey legend in his own right. There’s no surprise that **Mike Modano** has caused a lot of excitement among fans with his new outlet to provide personal video messages. He’s received the most amount of orders on memmo.me in the whole hockey category since the launch in Canada.

“This was all I hoped for and then some” is the perfect review for **Wendel Clark**, summing up the general sense of how his fans feel when they receive a memmo from him, making him one of the top 7 most popular players on the platform.

18-year NHL player, **Todd Bertuzzi**, is partial to filming his personal video messages alongside his lake where he plays hockey. Maybe this short glimpse into his daily life is what keeps fans coming back for more.

**Borje Salming**, a.k.a ‘The King’ proved to be a super popular star when first arriving to memmo.me in Sweden, so there was no doubt that he would receive the same reaction from fans when the platform landed in Canada. Who wouldn’t want a personal video message from one of the top 100 NHL players of all time?

**Chris ‘Knuckles’ Nilan** is an ex-hockey player turned broadcaster, and is a real fan-pleaser with his often 2-minute long videos leading him to 5 star reviews and more and more people wanting one for themselves.

Former Blackhawks goalie, **Darren Pang**, is loved by fans on memmo.me, with his most popular tags being 'energetic', 'funny' and 'genuine'. Maybe it’s the lengthy messages he takes time out to personalize, or maybe his fine-tuned broadcasting voice is what’s winning them over.

### Buying birthday gifts can be a struggle at the best of times, let alone during a worldwide pandemic. Birthdays have certainly been celebrated a little differently this year, and now more and more people are searching for new and exciting gifts that can be shared virtually (enters memmo.me to the scene…).


Thanks to the wonders of technology you can now get the **ultimate** birthday gift - a personalized video message from someone’s favourite celebrity! Moments of shock, excitement and wonderment are all but a few emotions that come with a memmo delivery, as people’s jaws drop in awe at a celeb wishing them a happy birthday. What makes this even better? It’s never been easier to get your hands on such a gift, all thanks to memmo.me.

With thousands of celebs available on the platform, you’re sure to find someone’s favourite artist, comedian, reality star, athlete, actor, and so the list goes on. All you have to do is simply choose one (or several) of their fav celebs, let them know what you want them to say in the video, and voila! Simple, right? Some celebs are even available for express delivery, meaning you can get your memmo within 24 hours of booking it (perfect for a last-minute stress when you realise you’ve left it all too late again).

The gifting fun doesn’t have to stop there, as there are plenty of ways to share the memmo with them too. We’ve put together a few creative ideas to give you some inspo:


1. Schedule the memmo to arrive as a text message first thing in the morning, so they are woken up to their idol congratulating them on making it through another year.
2. Call them on Zoom to sing happy birthday, then share your screen and play the memmo. It’ll be like their fav celeb is just chilling in the call with you. 
3. Write the link out in their birthday card with no mention of where it will take them to (now let’s see if they really trust you!).
4. If you want to go all out, why not book a collection of memmos from several celebs and put them all together in a montage - that’ll really blow their socks off!
