Personalized digital gift
What is a personalized digital gift, exactly?
It is a gift with no box and no shipping: a surprise created online from your memories (a letter, photos, a song, a voice note, a quiz), staged like a mini-film and given through a private link or a QR code. With Ouvella you create it in about 5 minutes for €4.99, with no subscription and no account required, and you preview everything for free before paying.
The definition, in plain words
A personalized digital giftis a gift created online from the giver’s own memories (a letter, photos, a song, a voice note, a quiz), then offered as a private link or a QR code, with no physical object to deliver. What sets it apart from a simple message or an animated card is its content: everything in it belongs to your story.
People also call it a virtual gift or an online gift: three names for the same idea. What they share is that the gift exists only online, and that its value comes from what you put inside, not from the object.
What goes inside Ouvella’s digital gift
The recipient discovers the gift scene by scene on their phone, like a little film. You can put inside:
A letter
Your words, beautifully staged
Photos
A gallery of your memories
A song
The one that matters to you
A voice note
Your voice, for real
A quiz
A game about your story
Memories
A timeline of your moments
The reveal
The final message
E-card, homemade slideshow, digital gift: the difference
An e-card
One screen, an often generic visual, a short message. Sweet, but closed in seconds and quickly forgotten.
A slideshow you build yourself
Hours spent assembling photos, transitions and music in a general-purpose tool, for a result that depends on your editing skills.
A personalized digital gift by Ouvella
Everything is already staged: the flow, the animations, the reveal. You only personalize (letter, photos, music, quiz) in about 5 minutes, and the result is a mini-film.

Digital, yes. Impersonal, no.
A digital gift has very concrete advantages: nothing to ship, so no waiting and no risk of a late delivery; it can be given across any distance, to the other side of the world as easily as across the street; and it can be created at the last minute and sent immediately. Unlike a bouquet or a paper card, it stays online for at least 5 years: the recipient can reopen it as many times as they want, and you can still edit it after purchase through your private link. If you prefer to hand something over in person, print the QR code and slip it into a card.
Schedulable, and borderless
When you finalize, you choose when the gift becomes openable: you can send the link today and set the opening for the big day, at the hour you want, for example midnight on their birthday or Christmas morning. And since nothing travels, distance stops mattering: the recipient can live in your city or on another continent, the gift arrives the same way. If there is a time difference, simply set the opening for the morning of the day in their time zone: the surprise will reveal itself at the right moment for them, not for you.
Who is it for, and for which occasions?
For every person whose memories you know by heart: your girlfriend or boyfriend, your mom, your dad, your best friend, your grandparents. And for every occasion that deserves more than a text: a birthday, Valentine’s Day, Christmas, an anniversary, a reunion, a simple “thinking of you”. It is also the ideal gift when the person lives far away, or when you start the night before: the link goes out instantly, and the gift stays editable after purchase.

Frequently asked questions
What is a personalized digital gift?
It is a gift created online from your own memories (a letter, photos, a song, a voice note, a quiz), then given as a private link or a QR code: there is no physical object to ship. On Ouvella it takes the shape of a mini-film the recipient discovers scene by scene on their phone.
How is it different from an e-card?
An e-card is a single screen, usually a generic visual with a short message. A personalized digital gift unfolds in several scenes (letter, photo gallery, music, voice note, quiz, memories, final reveal), and everything inside comes from your story, not from an anonymous template.
How much does a personalized digital gift cost on Ouvella?
€4.99 per creation, paid once. There is no subscription, and no account is required, either to create the gift or to open it.
How does the recipient receive this digital gift?
Through a private link or a QR code you send them (by message, on social media, or printed and slipped into a card). It opens in the browser, with no app to install. You can also schedule the exact date and time it becomes openable, and the gift stays online for at least 5 years.
Can I see the gift before paying, and change it afterwards?
Yes. You preview the whole gift for free in the editor before checkout, and you only pay if you love the result. After purchase, the gift remains editable through your private link.
