How it works

Tell us about them. We'll build the wonder.

Five short steps. Under ten minutes for you, and two to five unforgettable minutes for them.

  1. Step One

    Who are we celebrating?

    Their first name or nickname, the age they are turning, their birthday, and how you know them. That age quietly reshapes the language, the humour and the pacing of everything that follows.

    • Name or nickname
    • Age they're turning
    • Your relationship
  2. Step Two

    Tell us about them

    Write like you are describing them to a friend: what they are into, what makes them unmistakably them, something funny, and a favourite memory you share. A sentence per box is plenty.

    • Their interests
    • Their quirks
    • A memory worth retelling
  3. Step Three

    Choose how it should feel

    Funny, heartfelt, nostalgic, epic, gentle, or a blend of up to three. This decides the voice of the writing — riotous for a best friend, tender for a grandparent.

    • Up to three feelings
    • Funny + heartfelt is the favourite
    • Or let us surprise you
  4. Step Four

    Choose their story world and write your message

    Pick one of five story themes, then write the personal message they will read near the end. Your words appear exactly as you typed them, signed with your name.

    • Five story themes
    • Your message shown word for word
    • Nothing else to assemble
  5. Step Five

Works across time zones

Send the link whenever their day starts — it opens instantly, anywhere in the world.

Any age, any occasion

First birthdays, a sweet 16, a 30th, a 100th, a coworker, a grandparent, a whole family at once.
