This is what they get
What to write while the parcel is still travelling
“One lantern a day until it reaches your door. Don't open it without me.”
“It should be at your door around Thursday. Light the lanterns until then, and when the box is in your hands, call me - I want to watch your face, not hear about it later.”
“A parcel is on its way to you; the countdown below is the expected date, not a promise. When it arrives, tell me and we'll open it on a call whenever suits you.”
How it works
What they will see
- Knock three times on the little door to light up the porch.
- See the arrival estimate, gift hint and your note; a countdown needs an estimate.
- Choose a day to open together on a video call and type a suitable time.
Pick the format and fill it in
Names, your message, and the details this format uses - a date, a place, wishes or a few photos. No account needed to start.
Preview it as they will see it
The live preview runs the real page: opening ritual, reveal, and the closing question. Building and previewing is free.

Sending one giftable costs €3 (3 for €5, 10 for €10). It opens in any browser with no app, and their answer comes back to your dashboard.
Frequently asked questions
What if the carrier's date moves?
The countdown shows the date you entered, and the carrier's own status when you add a tracking number - it never claims a guaranteed arrival. If the date slips you edit it; if the parcel lands early, the door opens early.
How do we agree on a time to open it together?
The card asks them directly - this evening, tomorrow, or a time they type - and their answer comes back to you. That is the difference between a countdown page and an actual plan.
Do we both need accounts?
No. You build and preview free, pay €3 once to send, and they just open a link in their browser. Nothing to install on either side, in any country.
