Create a Christmas scratch card

Make it personal

1. Start with the matching design below, or use your own photo.
2. Write the surprise. You can add a date, place and calendar event.
3. Create your link and send it by WhatsApp, another app or email. Keep the separate management link to check openings or edit the card.

Create the card in advance and set a time lock for Christmas morning. Choose an expiry date after the celebration; the time lock does not extend it. Keep gift details out of the public preview.

Ideas for your message

• Merry Christmas! There is one more present behind the tree.
• Your Christmas gift: a weekend away together.
• Christmas dinner at ours. Bring yourself and your favourite jumper.

Your photo and message are encrypted in your browser. The decryption key stays in the link fragment. Only share the recipient link with people who should see the card. The link preview is public: keep spoilers out of its image and wording.

Choose an expiry of 7, 30, 90 or 365 days. Once opened, a card expires after at most another 14 days, or earlier if its original expiry arrives first. An opening is a page visit, not proof that someone finished scratching.
