How to make a personalized digital birthday gift
Choose a birthday gift template, add a personal message and photos where supported, preview the result, and plan how to share it.
Start with their personality
A memorable birthday gift starts with the person receiving it. Think about the moments you share, their sense of humour, and the kind of message they would enjoy opening. A playful design can suit a friend, while a thoughtful letter may feel right for a partner or family member. Browse the birthday collection and preview a few templates before deciding.
Each digital gift has its own personalization form. Check which fields it supports before you start: some designs focus on words, while others also include photos, names, colours, or dates. Use the full-screen preview to understand the experience rather than choosing from the cover image alone.
Write something only you could say
Instead of using a generic birthday wish, mention a shared memory, a small thing you appreciate, or a hope for their next year. A few specific sentences often feel more personal than a long message. If the template includes photos, choose clear images that make sense together and check their placement in the preview.
Save your design as a draft while you finish the message. Read every name and date carefully, especially when preparing a surprise. Reopen the preview after your final edits so the version you review matches the design you intend to buy.
Plan the moment they open it
After a purchase is confirmed, a digital gift can be shared using its gift link. An optional PIN adds a separate unlock step; send that PIN through another message if you want the recipient to enter it themselves. A shared gift opens as its own page, away from the storefront.
If checkout is temporarily unavailable, you can still explore templates, personalize a design, and save a draft. A shareable purchased gift link becomes available after the order is confirmed. Keep your account details current so you can return to your saved work.
