Birthday card for mom
that she'll actually save
The Hallmark aisle has 200 cards and not one of them is about your mom. Put in a real photo of you two, a sentence about something she actually did, and a small embedded gift. That's the card she screenshots and shows her friends.
For the person who always shows up
A soft pastel card with a thank-you and a birthday plan for Mom. Open it to try the reveal, or use the same starting text and make it your own.
Name one everyday thing she does that you notice. You can replace a note with a family photo in the editor.
What goes in a card mom keeps
Real photo, not stock
Upload a photo of you and her. Mom-cards live or die on this. The card aisle can't compete with a real picture.
Personal message, not template
Free-text field. Write the specific thing: the memory, the thank-you, the line you wouldn't say out loud.
Embedded gift link
Gift card, flowers, playlist, Audible book. Paste the URL and it reveals inside the card.

Common questions
What should I write in mom's birthday card?+
One specific memory beats five generic compliments. 'Thanks for X' where X is a small concrete thing she did is the move. The reveal animation handles emotion; you only need to land one specific line.
She's not great with tech. Will she be able to open it?+
Yes. She taps the link in her text messages or email and the card opens in her phone's browser. No app to install, no account to make. If she can open a link from a friend, she can open this.
Can I add a photo of us?+
Yes. Upload a photo from your phone; the editor accepts JPG and PNG. Pick something she'd put on the fridge. The photo shows up inside the card after she taps to unwrap it.
Can I include a gift?+
Yes. Paste a gift card link (Amazon, Starbucks, whatever she actually uses), a flower-delivery link, or a Spotify playlist URL. It reveals when she opens the card.
Should I add the fancy effects?+
Subtle is better for mom-cards. The free confetti is enough; balloons or rockets (optional Birthday Boost features) work if it's a milestone birthday. Skip 'glitter', though; it reads as too playful for a heartfelt card.
Can both kids in the family sign one card?+
Yes. Collect everyone's lines in the family group chat (or pass the phone around), add each one as its own note, and every note becomes its own page of the card. Send the final card-link to mom from one phone so it arrives clean.
