A clue today.
A memory tomorrow.

A surf lesson with a friend. Tennis with your sibling. A hike, a concert or dinner somewhere new. You choose and plan the real experiences — we just keep the surprise.

A personal gift card and envelope for sharing a digital experience gift

Less stuff. More stories.

Not another box.
Something just for them.

A wedding gift for the newlyweds. An anniversary with a little more adventure. A birthday spent together. Make it personal with real places, your own photos and a message only you could write.

No shipping. No gift-card kiosk. Nothing to redeem. Just a link to the experiences you've planned yourself, with a little suspense along the way.

A few things to know

Questions,
answered.

Is it really free?+

Yes — creating and sharing a gift with giftadate is free during launch. Add up to 12 dates with photos, clues and countdowns. No account or payment card required. Activities, bookings and travel are separate costs.

What is giftadate?+

A digital experience gift: a set of pre-planned dates that unlock one at a time. Before each date unlocks, the recipients only see a cryptic clue, a blurred photo and a countdown.

Is this a gift card or voucher shop?+

No — and that's the point. There is nothing to redeem and nothing generic. You choose and plan the actual experiences: the restaurant, the trail, the match, the weekend away. giftadate wraps the dates you plan into a personal gift page that reveals one at a time.

Is it a good wedding gift for a couple?+

It can be a personal alternative to another household gift. Plan dates around the newlyweds' interests, add a message and share their gift link. Choose three experiences or add up to 12 for a longer series.

Who pays for the dates?+

You decide and arrange it separately. giftadate does not book venues, collect activity funds or issue vouchers. A budget on a card is a planning note, not a payment: tell the recipients whether you have booked, transferred money or are suggesting an activity.

How does the unlock schedule work?+

Pick a start date and an interval of 7, 14, 21 or 30 days. Dates reveal on that schedule; it is not a venue booking. For a year-of-dates gift, add 12 dates and choose the 30-day option, rather than fixed calendar-month dates.

Can I add my own photos and clues?+

Yes. Upload a photo for each date or choose one of our editorial presets, write a teaser clue for the locked state and a reveal note for when it opens.

How do I give it?+

You get a share link instantly. Send it by text or WhatsApp, or write it in a card. Anyone with the link can view the gift, so avoid adding sensitive details.
