Gift wrapping with a digital message behind the bow
Tuck a scannable video message, photo set, playlist, or letter under the ribbon of your next gift.
A handwritten card is timeless. A card with something waiting behind it is better. A Stickylink sticker is 1x1 inch, so it tucks under a ribbon or onto the back of a card without stealing the show.
Set it up before you wrap. Scan the sticker, give it a title the recipient will understand ("Open me first"), then add what you want them to find.
A video message. Record a clip on your phone, upload it to YouTube as Unlisted or to Drive with link sharing on, and paste the link into the Video tag. They scan the card and you are talking to them.
A photo set. Add photos straight from your phone to the sticker: the trip, the year, the inside joke that needs no caption.
A playlist. Paste the Spotify or Apple Music link into a Link tag for a friend who is moving away.
A written thing. A poem, a letter, a recipe you both grew up on, saved as a PDF and attached to the sticker.
The best part is that it stays editable. Add photos to the same sticker next year and the card they kept in a drawer quietly becomes something new.
