An anniversary gift that tells your story
Design a small web page for your anniversary, with a counter for your days together, a letter and your moments. As a link or a card with a QR code.
An anniversary is the day when you can both see how much time already lies behind you. With trovu you turn that into a gift that shows exactly that: a small web page made for the two of you only.
What is on the page
- A counter for your days together. You enter the start date, the page counts the days and keeps counting.
- Your letter. You write what you want to say. If you do not know how to begin, our guide on how to write a love letter has structure and templates.
- Up to eight moments. Each with a date, a title, a line and a photo, from your first meeting to your last trip.
- Up to five things you love. Short lines, specific rather than grand.
- A gallery. Up to 20 photos fit on the page in total.
When the person opens it, the page unwraps itself: an envelope opens, then it begins.

- You design the page. That is free, and you see a preview straight away.
- When you are happy, you pay by card.
- You get a link like trovu.de/fuer/name-… to send, or you print a card with a QR code.
- The page stays online permanently. You can change it any time with the edit link.
Nothing printed is shipped to you. You print the card yourself, and the link works immediately.
Who it suits
It suits you if you like words and keep memories, if you live apart, or if you want to give something personal that does not look like it came off a shelf. It suits less if the person dislikes anything digital. In that case, a paper letter with the QR code card as an extra works well.
Tips for a good page
Choose small scenes rather than big ones: the evening you first cooked together often says more than the beach holiday. Write one line per moment that the person recognizes at once. For the letter, half a page and a clear first sentence are enough. And pick no more than a dozen photos that really tell something instead of filling the whole gallery.
One year or many
For a first anniversary, the page can be small: a letter, four moments, a handful of photos. After ten years, you will have more to choose from than fits, which makes picking the real favorites the main work. In both cases, the counter does something quiet that a card cannot: it shows, in a single number, how long you have been doing this together.
Anniversary ideas that need no trovu
Not every gift has to be digital. We collected honest ideas by budget, time and personality:
- Anniversary gift for him, including for men who dislike anything cheesy
- Anniversary gift for her, personal rather than generic
- Last-minute anniversary gift, if the day is almost here
Combining works well: a shared evening plus the page as a surprise after dinner.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work for a first anniversary?
Yes. After one year, a letter, three or four moments and a handful of photos are enough. With the edit link you can add to the page for your next anniversary.
What does the counter count?
You enter the date you got together. The page counts the days since then and keeps counting. If the date lies in the future, it counts down.
Can I change the page later?
Yes, with the edit link, at any time. You can add text, photos and moments, even after the anniversary.
We are not sure when exactly we got together. What date do I enter?
A date you would both agree on: your first date, your first kiss or the day you said it out loud. You can change the start date later with the edit link.
How do I hand it over?
You send the link, or print a card with a QR code and put it next to the breakfast. When they open it, the page unwraps itself.
