A birthday gift made only for him or her
Give a small web page for a birthday, with a letter, a counter and your moments. As a link or a card with a QR code.
For a birthday, many people want something that does not gather dust on a shelf. A trovu page is that kind of gift: a small web page with a letter, a counter and your best moments. It stays reachable permanently.
What is on the page
- A counter for your days together, from your start date
- Your letter for the birthday
- Up to eight moments with date, title, a line and a photo
- Up to five things you love
- A gallery, up to 20 photos in total
The birthday as an occasion
A birthday is not an anniversary, but it suits a look back at the year. You can pick moments that tell the past year: the first trip in spring, the summer holiday, the argument that ended well. The letter then says what you wish for the new year of their life, for them and for the two of you.
The moment of unwrapping
The person opens the link or scans the QR code on your card. The page unwraps itself as it opens: an envelope opens. It suits breakfast in bed, a midnight message, or a card next to the cake.
What belongs in the letter
A birthday letter differs from a love letter by looking forward. Write what you admired in the person this past year, what they achieved and what you look forward to in the next. A concrete promise, such as a trip in spring, gives the letter weight. Humor is welcome, pathos is not required.
Choosing the moments
Pick moments from the last twelve months rather than the whole relationship. A birthday page gets lighter that way, and the person sees that you were paying attention this year, not only years ago. Three or four moments with a good photo each are plenty. If you have more, the gallery can hold the rest.
If you want more than one idea
A birthday can take several things. Combine the page with a small object that appears in the letter, or with a day out. More ideas in our guides:
Although the ideas there are written for anniversaries, many fit a birthday too.
Steps
- Designing and preview: free.
- Pay by card through Stripe, only at the end.
- Send the link or print a card with a QR code.
- Change the page any time with the edit link.
The page can be reached only with the link and does not appear on Google. Nothing printed is shipped.
An honest note
If someone dislikes digital gifts on principle, they will not love this page either. Then a paper letter with the QR code card tucked in is the better choice. For help writing it, see our guide on how to write a love letter.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work if we have not been together long?
Yes. The counter then shows few days, which is part of the charm. With a letter and a few moments the page works even early on.
How much effort is it?
If you have photos and a few sentences ready, you are done quickly. Designing and the preview are free.
Can I send it at midnight on the birthday?
Yes, you send the link at the time you choose. You pay beforehand.
Does the counter show their age or our days together?
Your days together, from the start date you enter. The page does not show their age. If you want to mention it, put it in the letter or make it a moment.
