what they see

How the reveal plays out

It is gentle and sweet, and it is best with the sound on. The question comes from your baby, which is what makes it land.

A note from baby

Your link opens to a painted nursery, and a note from your little one writes itself in: "I'm still very little, but I already know I'll need someone extra special to look up to..."

"I have a little question..."

They tap the button and look up at a felt mobile hanging over the crib.

Pull the string

The moon, star, elephant and heart spin round while a music box plays a lullaby.

The question on a cloud

A little felt cloud drops down: "Aunt Maya, will you be my Godmother?" They answer Yes! or I'd love to!, and felt stars and hearts fall.

Questions people ask

Can I ask a godmother and a godfather?

Yes. One purchase covers everyone you're asking. Make a question for a godmother, a godfather or a godparent couple, each with its own link.

Does it work in Spanish?

Yes. Choose madrina, padrino or padrinos and the question plays fully in Spanish.

Why can't they hear the lullaby?

The lullaby plays when they pull the string. On an iPhone, the ringer switch needs to be on. There's also a mute button for anyone opening it somewhere quiet.

Can I add the baptism date?

Yes. Add a sign-off and a baptism or christening date if you like. Both are optional.

Do they need an app?

No. It opens in the web browser on any phone, tablet or computer.

Is a real mobile shipped?

No. It's a digital item, so nothing ships, including a physical mobile.
