An Easter envelope for the family who can’t make lunch.
Spring, in an envelope. Write the letter, add the photos, and a film if there’s one to send, so they can hear you say it. Pay once and send the link. They open it on their screen, like the real thing.
Easter envelope: what goes inside
A letter
The family news, the plans for the long weekend, and who’s bringing what.
Dear Gran, We hid the eggs too well. Two are still missing.
A postcard
The egg hunt, the lambs, the first properly sunny day.
The egg hunt. Casualties: one knee.
A film
The kids showing off their haul, and the negotiations over it.

How it works
Fill the envelope with a letter, postcards and a film — any mix, up to ten pieces, and one price for the whole envelope by what's inside. Pay once, by card. Send the link now, or keep it sealed until the day: no app to install, it opens on any phone, and it's kept for good.
Easter envelope questions
When is Easter?
Easter moves each year, between late March and late April. Set it to open on Easter morning and send the link whenever you like.
Can family far away send one back?
Yes. When they’ve opened everything, the envelope offers to start one back to you.
How much does it cost?
$1.29 for letters and postcards, $5 with a film. One price for the whole envelope, up to ten pieces, paid once by card through Stripe. No subscription.
Do they need an app?
No. One link, opened in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer. They tap the seal and the envelope opens.
When should I send it?
Whenever you like. Send the link straight away, or send it now and set the day and time it opens — until then they’ll see the sealed envelope and a countdown.
Can I change it after I’ve paid?
Until they open it, yes. Sign in with the email you paid with and change what’s inside; the link stays the same. You can’t add anything that costs more than you paid, and once they’ve opened it, it stays as it is.
How long does it last?
For good. They can open it as many times as they like. A film is kept for a year after it’s first opened, and they can save their own copy.
