Football mania has upended the nation as the mighty Matildas inch their way closer to a potential World Cup final on home soil.

If someone you love can't get enough of the tillys, we have the ultimate gift idea right here.

For as little as $30, you can send a personalised video message from some of the teams' brightest stars via the Australian web service Swysh.

Similar to the celebrity video service Cameo, Swysh specialises in professional Aussie sports athletes. It's one of the easiest ways to correspond with a Matilda, allowing you to organise a personalised video straight to your loved ones' inbox.

Best of all, Swysh donates 10% of the proceeds to charitable organisations. Its partners include Wishgranting at Starlight Children's Foundation, Movember and Sporting Chance.

In other words, you get to feel good about giving back while simultaneously making a friend or family member's day.

Here's how to book your video:

  1. Choose your Matilda star: Browse the lineup of Matildas and select who you want to receive a message from. Available players include Steph Catley, Caitlin Foord, Emily Van Egmond and Mackenzie Arnold (see more below). In all, there are 23 Matildas past and present to choose from.
  2. Personalise your request: Add instructions for the video. Is it for somebody's birthday, a special occasion like Father's Day or just a gift for the biggest Matildas fan you know? Explain the reason for the message, and the player will create a personalised video that might just bring tears of joy to the recipient's face.
  3. Anticipate the surprise: Once you've placed your request, all that's left to do is wait. In 5-7 days, you'll receive the video, delivered via SMS and email. These videos are yours to keep forever. Be sure to capture the reaction of the lucky recipient – they're going to really lose it when they see their favourite star talking to them.

With the Matildas blazing a trail toward World Cup glory (and potentially spawning a public holiday for their efforts), now is the perfect time to organise a video.
