Digital gifts for your best friend

Your best friend doesn't need another candle. They need proof you remember the 3am kebab, the holiday that went wrong and every photo they told you to delete. These are the digital gifts that work for a best friend, funny or soft, each made in about ten minutes.

    A birthday card crashed by hamsters

How to make it land

What to write to them

The in-jokes, obviously, but also one sentence you've never said: why they're the one you call. Funny on the way in, honest at the end, is the order that works.

When to send it

On their birthday, on a friendship anniversary, after a breakup, or when they've just got the job. It arrives the second you send it, so it works on the day you remember too.

Questions people ask

What's a good digital gift for a best friend?

Something only you could make: your photos, your in-jokes and a line you mean. Party Animals and Sticker Bomb are for laughing; Favorite Person is for the soft version.

Is it only for couples?

No. Every template works for a friend, a sister or your mum: the words and photos are yours, and nothing in it says it's romantic unless you write it.

Is it free?

The Letter and Constellations are free, with up to ten photos, music, a countdown and a hidden surprise. Every other template is a one-time payment for that template, with no subscription, and you can try each one in full before you pay.
