Sympathy
A sympathy card for a friend, for the days after everyone else goes home
Giftable lets you build a free, gentle sympathy card for a friend - your words, a shared memory or photo if it fits - and send the full card for €3, one-time. No app, no account: it opens from a link in any browser, whenever they're able to look at it, and they can reply with a 30-second video when they're ready.

This is what they get
What to write in a sympathy card for a friend
“I don't have the right words, but I have time, a car, and your favorite takeout order memorized. I'm so sorry. I'm here - today, and in three months when everyone else forgets to check in.”
“I'm so sorry, my friend. You don't have to reply to this. You don't have to be strong or grateful or okay. I just wanted you to have something warm in your phone tonight.”
“I keep thinking about the story you told me about them - the one that made you laugh mid-sentence. What a life. What a loss. I love you, and I'm nearby.”
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
What actually helps in a sympathy message to a friend?
Presence over philosophy. Say you're sorry, name the person they lost if you knew them, offer something concrete ('I'll bring dinner Thursday'), and release them from replying. That last sentence is the kindest one.
Should I include photos of the person who died?
If you have a good one and the loss is not brand-new, a warm photo with a memory attached can mean everything. When in doubt, keep the card simple - words first.
What does it cost?
Free to build; a single-slide card sends free, and the full card is €3 one-time. It arrives quietly as a link - no packaging, no doorbell, openable at 2am when grief does its loudest work.
