Christmas gifts when the post won't make it
A gift under no tree at all. Pick a design, add your own words, and send a small animated gift — no app for them to open, just a link.
Create a Christmas giftThere's a date in December after which nothing you order will arrive in time, and a surprising amount of Christmas gifting happens after it. What's left is a gift card emailed on the 24th, which everyone involved understands for exactly what it is.
A year in ten photographs doesn't need posting, doesn't need a date, and can't be bought by anyone else. Neither can five wrapped boxes with a letter at the bottom — which is at least the right shape for the day.
Or the night itself: a cottage on Christmas Eve that they look round on their phone — a snowman who's lost his nose, Santa stuck in the chimney, four presents with your photographs inside, and a tree that only lights up when they put the star on it.

How sending a Christmas gift works
- 1Pick a design — each one is a small scene they open and play with.
- 2Add your own words, names and photos. Nothing is required except the bits that make it theirs.
- 3Get a private link and send it. It opens in any browser, on any phone.
Making a Christmas gift land
- This is the one gift with no posting deadline — it works on the 24th as well as the 1st
- A year in ten frames beats a Christmas-themed anything — they have plenty of the second
- Send it on the morning, before the room fills up — a phone in the middle of Christmas Day is a lost cause
- Open the cottage together on a video call — it's a few minutes of them turning round the room, and you'll want to see their face when Santa pops out
- For grandparents, choose the photos with the children in — that's the album that gets shown to visitors
- Don't apologise for it not being posted — nobody receiving something with their own year in it is counting the postage
