Digital gifts for Dad
Dads say they don't want anything, and then keep the card you made at seven in the glovebox for thirty years. Make him the grown-up version: his story, his photos and the words you don't usually say out loud. These are the digital gifts that work for a dad, each made in about ten minutes.
His own front page
A newspaper with your headline about him, his photos and the stories the family tells. For his birthday or Father's Day.
Make this giftA museum of the family
The old prints from the loft hung in a quiet gallery, each with a label in your words, and a video room.
Make this giftHis life, as a timeline
A road that draws itself as he scrolls: where he grew up, the first car, the day you were born, up to 20 photos and a video.
Make this giftHis song, on vinyl
He drops the needle on the song from the car journeys, and your photos and message play along.
Make this giftA fortune cookie of dad jokes
He cracks it open to find the fortunes you wrote, up to twenty. Put his own jokes back in there.
Make this giftA jar of reasons he's a good dad
Folded notes he shakes out one at a time. Get the whole family to write some.
Make this giftThe letter he'll keep
A wax seal, your words and your photos, with a song. Free. Say the one thing you'd want him to know.

How to make it land
What to write to him
Dads remember being thanked for specific things: teaching you to drive, the match he never missed, what he said when it all went wrong. One of those, said plainly, is worth more than a page.
When to send it
On his birthday, Father's Day, or the day he retires. A premium template can be scheduled to open at a set time; or print the QR code and hide it in his real card.
Questions people ask
What's a good digital gift for a dad?
His own story: a front page about him, a museum of family photos or a timeline of his life. They're made from things only the family has, which is the point.
Will he be able to open it?
Yes. He taps the link in a message or an email and it opens in his browser, with nothing to install and no account. Or print the QR code: his phone camera opens 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.
