Birthday
A birthday card for mom she can actually keep
Giftable lets you build a free interactive birthday card for your mom - her favorite photos as slides, a scratch-off surprise, your words in your own voice - and send the full card for €3, one-time. No app for either of you: she opens a link in any browser and can send back a 30-second video reply.

What to write in a birthday card for your mom
“Happy birthday, Mom. Every good habit I have started as something you repeated a hundred times. I heard all of it - even when I rolled my eyes. I love you.”
“Another year of you being the first person I call with good news and the first person I call when I burn dinner. Happy birthday, Mom - you're my favorite phone number.”
“Mom, I found these photos and realized you were younger than I am now in half of them. You've been figuring it out the whole time, haven't you? Happy birthday. You did great.”
How it works
Pick photos and an occasion
Choose the occasion, add your favorite photos, and write your message. No account needed to start.
Add a scratch-off surprise
Hide a photo or a message under a foil layer they rub away with a finger - the moment feels like unwrapping a gift.
Share the link
Send it by WhatsApp, iMessage, or email. It opens in any browser - no app to install - and they can answer with a 30-second video reply.
Frequently asked questions
Is a birthday card for mom free to make on Giftable?
Yes - building the card is free, and a 1-slide card can be sent free. The full card with all your photo slides and the scratch-off costs €3 one-time. No subscription.
What makes this better than texting mom "happy birthday"?
A text scrolls away; this is a little ritual. She swipes through photos you chose, scratches off a hidden surprise, and hears the moment was made for her - then she can record a 30-second video reply so you see her reaction.
Does my mom need to install anything to open it?
No. You send a link, she taps it, and the card opens in whatever browser her phone already has. It works on old Androids and iPhones alike.
