Woo your Valentine with a singing telegram

Tired of paying astronomical prices for last minute gifts on Valentine’s Day? This year, Dubai’s first singing telegram service offers a new and fun way to show your love.

The singing telegrams are the brainchild of Lorate Hamzeh, Managing Director of the new Dubai-based company The Big Moo. Canadian-born Lorate gave up a high-powered HR job to pursue her dream of starting a singing telegram service. “While singing telegrams are well-known in countries such as the U.S. and Canada, it’s something very new to Dubai,” said Lorate Hamzeh.

“We have seen tremendous interest in our singing telegrams since we launched The Big Moo in November. Our performers have been putting smiles on the faces of people all over Dubai and it’s a perfect idea for Valentine’s Day.”

The Big Moo utilizes a team of professional entertainers to deliver the singing telegrams to the homes or offices of the sender’s friends, relatives or loved ones. No two singing telegrams are the same: there are special characters to choose from and senders can even deliver themselves in an oversized gift box to propose to their Valentine. Prices begin at AED 297, making it an affordable gift alternative.

This Valentine’s Day, senders can choose from a variety of packages which can include a dozen long-stemmed red roses, a dozen sweet-heart cupcakes or other quality gifts together with their singing telegram message.

For children’s parties, The Big Moo offers performers who walk around the party in character. The birthday boy or girl also receives a balloon bouquet, party favours or even a piñata, a papier-mâché hanging character filled with sweets.

And what’s Dubai’s favourite singing telegram character? As it happens, a singing cow is the Big Moo’s best seller.
