A birthday card for dad that isn't another mug

This is what they get
What to write in a birthday card for your dad
“Happy birthday, Dad. You taught me to check the oil, to tip well, and to never buy the extended warranty. I use all three constantly. Love you.”
“Dad, I know you'll say you don't need anything. So instead of a thing, here are the photos where you're laughing the hardest. Happy birthday from your favorite child (don't tell the others).”
“Another year older and you still beat me at every card game we play. Happy birthday, Dad - this one you can keep without shuffling.”
How it works
What they will see
- Pulls the film strip to the right, threads the projector, and the wall lights up.
- Reads your note, sees the captioned photos and the countdown to your date.
- Lays their own shots out on their phone, then sends you an answer in their words.

Frequently asked questions
My dad isn't a 'digital card' guy. Will he actually like this?
Dads tend to like the scratch-off - it's tactile, like a lottery ticket with his family under the foil. There's nothing to set up: he taps your link and swipes through the photos.
How much does a Giftable birthday card cost?
Free to create and preview; sending one Giftable costs €3. Packs: 3 for €5 or 10 for €10. No subscription, no recurring anything (dad would approve).
Can dad reply to the card?
Yes - the wall ends with a question, and the line he writes comes straight back to your dashboard, even if he lives three time zones away.
