Frequently asked questions

What is a birthday surprise website?

It's a private link you send that opens into a mini birthday experience in their browser — no app. A red curtain opens, a cake appears with number-shaped candles for the recipient's actual age, they make a wish and blow the candles out (by tapping, or into the phone's mic), balloons pop to reveal your photos, a present opens with your letter inside, and it ends in fireworks. The whole birthday surprise takes about two minutes and is endlessly replayable.

Is the Birthday Surprise really free?

Creating and previewing the Birthday Surprise on GiftFeels is free — sign in with Google, no credit card. To send it, you pay once to unlock that gift (or use a GiftFeels Pass for every gift); the recipient pays nothing, just taps the private link, and the animation plays in their browser, no app needed.

Can I schedule the Birthday Surprise for midnight?

There's no built-in scheduler — the link opens whenever the recipient taps it. So just send the link yourself at midnight in their timezone for a perfect midnight birthday surprise, even across continents. Long-distance friendly by design.

How long does it take to make the Birthday Surprise?

About 2 minutes. You enter the recipient's name, their age (so the candles match), and your message. The animation, song, and reveal flow are pre-built.
