Givingli
A gift card with a personal touch
Best for someone whose favorite places you know.
A gift card doesn’t have to feel like the default option. Givingli pairs digital gift cards with greetings you can personalize using your own message, photos and video. Choose a brand they love and send the finished gift by text or email.
What makes it worth choosing is the combination of something useful and something personal. Explain what you’re treating them to: their next coffee run, a small shopping spree or something they’ve been putting off buying.
How it gets there
Send the greeting by text or email. The recipient can open it in a browser without installing an app.
Gift redemption is U.S. only and requires a valid U.S. phone number. After activation, allow up to 24 hours for the gift to become available.

MasterClass
A year of learning and inspiration
Best for someone who loves discovering something new.
MasterClass gives the recipient a full year of access to its classes and instructors, rather than limiting them to a single course. The gift membership includes a personal message and can be sent immediately or scheduled for another date.
It’s a strong choice for the person who enjoys exploring an interest but rarely buys themselves the time or resources to pursue it. Browse the classes first and tell them which one made you think of them. They can start there and follow their curiosity.
How it gets there
Select immediate email delivery. They receive a gift membership to redeem for online access.
They’ll need an account; the year starts when redeemed. Membership renews automatically unless they turn renewal off. Check any existing third-party subscription before buying.

Ufaafu · From the publisher
A personalized world to explore
Best for a personal surprise built around shared memories.
Ufaafu turns photos, notes and familiar details into a small digital world the recipient can explore. Our pick is the Mountain Top Cabin: a warm fire, a view above the clouds and keepsakes tucked into a room that feels like a little escape together.
Fill it with the moments only the two of you would recognize. A photograph to pick up. A note to discover. A final surprise waiting at the end. Instead of seeing everything at once, they encounter the details you chose along the way.
It’s a good fit for an anniversary, a long-distance birthday or a friendship full of stories. Choose a free world, such as the Night Train or Castaway Cove, or a paid premium experience like the Cabin. The thought you put into it is what makes it theirs.
How it gets there
After personalizing it, send the invitation link through your own email or messaging app. They open it in a browser with an internet connection; no recipient account is required.
Set aside time to choose your photos and write a few personal words. A handful of meaningful details is enough.
Delivery details: How creating and sharing works
An actual Ufaafu experience. Explore the room, open a keepsake and discover the final surprise.
Libro.fm
An audiobook chosen just for them
Best for book lovers who are always listening.
Libro.fm lets you give a specific audiobook or a bundle of credits so the recipient can choose their own. Both options support an independent bookstore, adding another reason to choose it for someone who loves bookshops as much as books.
A handpicked title is especially thoughtful when it connects to a conversation you’ve had, an author they love or a subject they can happily talk about for hours. Not sure what they’ve already read? Credits preserve the gift of a good story without risking a duplicate.
How it gets there
Individual audiobooks and credit bundles can be emailed immediately or scheduled. Choose email delivery rather than a printable certificate.
A free recipient account is required; a paid membership isn’t. Check that a chosen title is available in their country.

Under Lucky Stars
The sky from a meaningful moment
Best for anniversaries and dates worth remembering.
Under Lucky Stars creates a personalized star map based on a chosen place and time. That could be the night you met, the day someone was born or a moment that changed your lives. The digital version gives you the finished design without waiting for a print to ship.
What makes it special is the specificity. You aren’t simply sending a picture of the stars; you’re marking a moment that belongs to them. Add a message explaining why you chose that date, especially when the memory is less obvious than a birthday or wedding.
How it gets there
Select the digital star map. The printable PDF files arrive by email after purchase; forward them with your own message.
Printing and framing are optional and separate. Double-check the date, time and location before ordering.

The Escape Game Unlocked
A mystery for an at-home game night
Best for puzzle lovers and an at-home date night.
Unlocked is a digital mystery game where players examine evidence, follow clues and use the internet to solve the case. It’s self-paced, so there’s no appointment to book or countdown forcing everyone to finish in one sitting.
This is a particularly good gift when you’d rather give someone something to do together than something to own. Make an evening of it with snacks and a shared screen. Long-distance friends can also play together through screen-sharing, with one person controlling the game.
How it gets there
Buy the Digital Activation Code version. The code and instructions arrive by email after purchase.
Choose the digital option, rather than a physical code. A computer is recommended; internet and a login are required.
Delivery details: How Unlocked works
JibJab
A personalized video that doesn’t take itself seriously
Best for someone who would rather laugh than get sentimental.
JibJab lets you put familiar faces into funny video greetings, including music and dance-themed cards. Choose a template, add the faces and turn the recipient—or the whole group—into the stars of the joke.
It’s a good fit for the friend who loves ridiculous birthday messages, the sibling you’ve been teasing for years or the family member who sends every funny video straight to the group chat. This is more of a playful greeting than a substantial present, but that can be exactly right for the relationship.
How it gets there
Once you’ve created the card, share it by email or direct link. Allow time to choose the video and add your photos.
You’ll need a sender account. Some cards are free; selected templates require a paid membership.
Delivery details: Sharing your card
Kudoboard
A celebration from everyone
Best for a group birthday, farewell or milestone.
Kudoboard gathers messages, photos, videos and GIFs from friends, family or coworkers into one digital card. The recipient gets a collection of memories and well-wishes they can revisit, rather than scattered messages across different conversations.
Its strength is the range of voices. Ask each person for one favorite memory or one thing they appreciate about the recipient, rather than a generic greeting. A handful of specific contributions can make a more meaningful gift than a much larger collection of signatures.
How it gets there
Share the completed board by link or use Deliver Now to email it to the recipient.
Collecting contributions takes time, so this works best when your group can respond quickly. Printing is optional.
Delivery details: Digital board delivery
Headspace
Something for their wind-down routine
Best for someone who already enjoys meditation and quiet downtime.
A Headspace gift subscription provides access to guided meditations, bedtime stories, soothing sounds and wind-down exercises. It offers something the recipient can return to throughout their subscription rather than a one-time greeting.
This is most thoughtful when it reflects an interest they’ve already expressed. Choose it for someone who enjoys mindfulness or has mentioned trying Headspace—not as a subtle suggestion that they need to relax. A note about treating them to something they’ll enjoy keeps the gift warm and personal.
How it gets there
Choose the purchase date as the send date for immediate email delivery. The recipient redeems the gift and signs up or logs in.
Gift codes are country-specific and cannot be redeemed over an active Apple- or Google-billed subscription.
Delivery details: Gift subscription terms
Tinggly
An experience they get to choose
Best for someone who prefers experiences to more stuff.
Tinggly offers experience gifts that let the recipient choose an activity and book it for a date that suits them. Choose an experience collection or a gift card, then select electronic delivery rather than a shipped gift box.
The flexibility is the appeal: you can give them an adventure without guessing their availability. Before buying, browse the choices near where they live or somewhere they’re planning to visit. That makes the gift more considered than simply sending a voucher and hoping they find something.
How it gets there
The e-voucher is delivered electronically after purchase. They receive the voucher now and book the experience for later.
They’ll need an account to book. Check local options and booking availability; the outing usually needs advance planning.
