Video and voice collages of messages for special people on special occasions

Coming tonight to Product Hunt - giftstring, a quiet way to gather what matters. The video and voice messages of people who love someone strung together into a single, thoughtful gift. Made for milestone moments - a graduation, a wedding, a farewell, a milestone birthday. Moments that ask for more than a card.

giftstring - gifts for the people you love in the moments that matter

giftstring is a quiet way to gather what matters: the voice and video of the people who love someone, woven together into a single gift. Mom's eightieth, a friend's wedding, a graduation, a goodbye — moments that ask for more than a card. With giftstring, you record a short message of your own, invite the people who love this person to add their message, and send it as one beautiful, lasting gift.
