Send a Gift by Text — No Address Needed

How it works

1
Make your card — add a photo and a message.
2
Get a private link when you're done.
3
Text it to them; they tap and it opens.

Is it a gift card?

No. What you text is a link to a photo and a message inside a reveal, not money, credit or a voucher. The digital gift page explains what is and is not included.

Not sure what to write?

Tap a line to start with it — it lands in the card, ready to edit.

Questions

Do I need their mailing address?

No. You only need a way to message them. There's nothing to ship — it's a link they open on their phone.

How do they receive the gift?

You get a private link when you finish. Send it by text, iMessage, WhatsApp, or any chat, and they tap it to unwrap your card.

Is it free?

Yes — free to make and free for them to open, with no account required.

Can I send it on WhatsApp or iMessage?

Anywhere you can paste a link works — texts, WhatsApp, Messenger, email, or a DM.
