Birthday

A birthday card for your son that beats a text from mom or dad

Giftable lets you build a free interactive birthday card for your son - photos from every ridiculous haircut era as slides, plus a scratch-off surprise - and send the full card for €3, one-time. No app for either of you: he taps the link, it opens in his browser, and he can fire back a 30-second video reply.

Happy 30, Mira!

What to write in a birthday card for your son

Happy birthday, son. Watching you grow up has been my favorite thing I've ever done - and I once saw the northern lights. You win.

Another year older and you still haven't outgrown being my kid. Good. You never will. Happy birthday - I'm proud of you in ways I don't say enough.

Happy birthday to the boy who broke two lamps, one arm, and every record I had for loving somebody. Scratch the surprise at the end - it made me think of you.

How it works

01

Pick photos and an occasion

Choose the occasion, add your favorite photos, and write your message. No account needed to start.

02

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.

03

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

My son is grown and lives away - will this still land?

That's the exact use case. You send a link by WhatsApp or text, he opens it wherever he is, swipes through the photos you picked, and can send back a 30-second video reply. It's a two-minute call's worth of feeling without scheduling one.

How much does a birthday card for my son cost?

Building it is free, and a 1-slide card sends free. The full card - all your photo slides plus the scratch-off surprise - is €3, one-time. No subscription.

Can I hide something extra inside the card?

Yes - besides the scratch-off reveal, you can attach a hidden gift behind a password, like a gift-card code or a note he unlocks at the end.
