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.
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 ($2.99 premium) 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. Build it once, share the editor link with siblings before you send to mom, and everyone adds a line. Send the final card-link to mom from one phone so it arrives clean.
