A gift card and a letter to hand over

After you order, you print a gift card and a letter with your own message. The letter explains in plain words how it works, with a code the storyteller scans to start.

  • Card and letter with your own message
  • The code opens the book, no account or password
  • Prefer digital? We email the invitation on the day you choose

Make someone happy with a gift that lasts.
