They open your link
A thank-you note from your family sits above a painted bouquet on a teacher's desk.
Teacher gift card holder
A thank-you their teacher gets to scratch
Your family's note opens first, over a painted bouquet on a desk. Then a shiny painted apple appears with the teacher's name, and a few swipes of a fingertip uncover the gift you're giving.

what they see
How the reveal plays out
A gift card in an email is easy to miss. This turns it into a little moment, with your family's words up front and the gift as the payoff.
The apple appears
A big painted apple shows up with their name over it, waiting to be scratched.
Scratch, flecks fly
They rub the paint off with a finger and the gift you typed shows through underneath.
Confetti and where to find it
The page dives into the apple, confetti falls, and a line says how the gift is reaching them, like "Check your email" or "It's coming home in a backpack."

Questions people ask
Is the gift card included?
No. You send the gift the usual way, like an e-gift card, Venmo, cash or a card in a backpack. The apple is the reveal.
I have three kids with different teachers. Do I need three copies?
No. One purchase lets you make as many links as you like, so every teacher, coach and aide can get their own.
Can the whole class give it together?
Yes. It works well as a class gift from room parents. Just write the note from the class and add a class photo if you have one.
Can I include the gift card code?
Yes. The code shows with a Copy button, and you can add a link where they redeem it.
Can I change it after I make the link?
A link can't be edited once it's made, but you can make a new one anytime.
Is anything mailed to me?
No. It's a digital download, so nothing ships. It opens on any phone, tablet or computer.
