This is what they get
What to write when you tell your parents they are becoming grandparents
“Scratch it. Then call me, because I am not typing the rest of this.”
“You have been asking for eleven years and pretending you were not asking. Scratch the silver. We are due in May, and yes, you can start buying things.”
“Something we wanted you to find out from us and not from a group chat. Take your time with the silver panel.”

Frequently asked questions
How do I tell my parents they are going to be grandparents when I cannot be in the room?
Send the ticket and get on the phone. They open the link, rub the silver off with a finger, and at about sixty percent the news and the confetti break out - so there is a moment to hear, even down a line, instead of a sentence they read alone in a chat window.
Do they need an app or an account?
Neither. The ticket opens from a link in whatever browser is already on their phone or laptop, and there is nothing to install and no password to lose. If they scratch through it once, the same link opens again.
Does their reaction come back to me, and what does it cost?
Yes - the ticket ends with a reaction question you can rewrite, and their answer arrives inside your Giftable, so you have what they said in writing. Free to build and preview; sending one Giftable costs €3, with packs of 3 for €5 or 10 for €10.
