A Thanksgiving card for your grandparents, filled with the family they built
So many family traditions started at Grandma and Grandpa's table. This Thanksgiving, give them a card that shows them what came of it: a cinematic film with their names in calligraphy, a sunlit farmhouse scene and a slideshow of the grandkids, the great-grandkids and the old photos you found in the album.
It's built to be easy for them. They tap one link in a text or email and the card plays, with no app, no login and no password. They can watch it again whenever they like, and they will. Record a voice message from the kids, and schedule it to arrive by email on Thanksgiving morning if you can't be there in person.
