How to Send a Birthday Surprise Online

The problem
When a message doesn't feel like enough
You want to wish them a happy birthday. You want them to know you're thinking about them. But you're not there in person.
A text is instant, but it can feel ordinary. An e-card is easy, but often looks like something anyone could send.
Sometimes you want to send something that feels like you actually made something for them.
Distance means nothing when someone means everything. 
Your options
What are the ways to send a birthday surprise online?
Here are a few popular options, each with its own benefits:
E-card
Quick and easy to send, but often feels similar to any other greeting card.
Video compilation
Very personal and emotional, but takes time to collect clips, edit and send.
Social post
Easy to share and publicly celebratory, but not very private or personal.
Interactive private surprise
A personalized experience delivered through a private link — made just for them.
A different kind of surprise
A birthday surprise they can actually experience
Instead of sending one long message, imagine sending a private link that opens into a small experience made specifically for them.
They tap the gift
An envelope appears
Your letter is inside
Then, their memories
And a birthday wish, made just for them
That is the idea behind Surprise From Me.
