Live demo
The capsule is the format that makes the date part of the object: it runs across the lid as the "do not open before" line, so the page says out loud which day it was written for.

This is what they get
What to write to your son or daughter turning 18
“Eighteen. You were four when you told me you would be a paleontologist. I kept the drawing.”
“I wrote this the week you learned to ride a bike and stopped needing me to hold the seat. Most of what I wanted to say then is still true, so here it is, on the day you are old enough to argue with it.”
“Eighteen today. Nothing dramatic in here - just the things I would rather you heard from me than worked out on your own.”
How it works
What they will see
- Taps the sealed capsule three times and the seal cracks the rest of the way open.
- Reads your letter, the date on the lid and the film strip of photos underneath.
- Flips through the cards, then taps a reply that lands straight back with you.

Frequently asked questions
Can I schedule it to unlock on their birthday?
No - and it is worth saying plainly, because the vaults that promise it are asking you to hand over your letter and trust them for eighteen years. Nothing of yours sits on a shelf of ours. You send the link on the day, and the date you typed runs across the capsule as the "do not open before" line, so the page names the day it was written for.
What is actually inside when they open it?
Three taps break the seal and out come both names, your letter of up to 600 characters, the date across the lid, and the capsule cards to flip through after it. It is a letter with a ritual in front of it, not a slideshow.
Do they answer, and what does it cost?
The capsule ends with a question - what they want to tell the person who packed it - with three ready answers or your own, and what they write comes back to you inside your Giftable. Free to build and preview; sending one Giftable costs €3, with packs of 3 for €5 or 10 for €10.
