Send a Virtual Surprise Egg

Three knocks, a cracked shell, then your surprise. Put a photo or a personal card inside a virtual egg and send the link to someone who could use a playful moment in their day.

Choose what goes inside: your message, your photo, or both. The shell is a short opening animation around that personal gift.

Fill an egg for a friend

A small surprise for…

An ordinary day

No occasion needed for a friendly hello.

A birthday

Put your birthday note inside the shell.

A fresh start

Celebrate their next chapter.

Three taps crack the egg and reveal your card or photo.
You choose the contents; no random toys or prizes.
Make and open it in a browser, without an account.

How it works

  1. 1

    Open the maker with the surprise egg already selected.

  2. 2

    Write a personal note and add a photo if you want one inside.

  3. 3

    Preview, create and share the link. They knock on the egg to open it.

Small surprise, personal contents

A shared photo can turn a quick tap into a memory. If you would rather send words alone, leave the photo blank: the card itself appears beneath the shell.

For a birthday, mention one thing you hope they enjoy this year. For an everyday hello, a specific memory or inside joke gives them something more personal than a stock greeting.

Not sure what to write?

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

Questions

What can I put inside the egg?

A message and an optional photo. The recipient cracks the shell, sees the photo or card underneath, then reads your note. Physical items and downloadable prizes are not included.

How does the recipient open it?

They open your link and tap the egg three times. Swiping also works. They can use the direct-open control if they want to skip the animation.

Is it only for Easter?

No. Use it for a birthday, a congratulations message, or a little hello. The maker lets you change the occasion and card design while keeping the egg reveal.

Does the recipient need to register?

No. Both creating and opening the gift are free and work in a browser. After creation you share the link yourself through your preferred chat or messaging app.

Will the egg link stay available forever?

No. Gifts with a photo expire after 30 days; gifts without one expire after 60 days. Both periods start when the gift is created, and replaying does not restart them.

Try it as…

Same photo and words, a different thing for them to open.
