Send a New Year Card They Unwrap

Send a New Year card they open on their phone: a gift box, bubble wrap or a burst of confetti, with a photo from the year that was and your wish for the one ahead. Make it now and share the link at midnight, or seal it so it can't open before then.

Pick a reveal below, add a photo from this year and your wish for the next one, then send the link on New Year's Eve, or seal it until midnight and send it early.

How it works

  1. 1

    Pick a reveal and a card design — or use the one we suggest.

  2. 2

    Write your message and add a photo if you like.

  3. 3

    Send the link by text — they open it on their phone, no signup.

Sealed until midnight, shared by you

Choose 'Sealed until midnight' and the maker opens with the unlock time set to 00:00 on January 1, 2027, in your own time zone. The pre-set only applies within 60 days of that date; earlier than that, pick the time in the maker yourself. Until it unlocks, the link shows a countdown, and the card, photo and message are not loaded at all, so there is nothing to peek at.

We do not send it for you. You share the link yourself, by text, WhatsApp or any chat, on New Year's Eve or days before. Keep the expiry in mind: a card with a photo is deleted 30 days after creation, one without a photo after 60 days, so make a photo card in December. The maker warns you if the unlock time is after the card expires.

Questions

What should I write in a New Year card?

One line about the year that was (something specific you shared), one wish for the year ahead, and your name. For a partner or a close friend, add a photo from this year. Keep it short enough to read at a party.

Can I make it open at midnight?

Yes. Set an unlock time and the link stays sealed with a countdown until then; the 'Sealed until midnight' option pre-fills 00:00 on January 1, 2027 in your time zone. You still share the link yourself; it is not sent automatically.

Can I send one card to everyone?

Yes. One link can be shared with the whole family or the group chat, or make a separate card for each person so it feels one-to-one. Each card comes from one sender; there is no group signing.

Is it free?

Yes. Free to make, send and open, with no signup or app for either of you.

How long does the link last?

A card with a photo is deleted 30 days after creation; without a photo, after 60 days. So make a New Year card with a photo in December, not November.
