Why most gift cards fall flat for kids
A kid cannot do much with a store gift card alone. A parent drives, a parent pays the difference, and the gift turns into an errand. The ones that work give the kid a decision to make and something to show for it afterward.
The designing is half the gift
With a Snapshot gift card, the kid is the designer. They choose the photo, the template, the colors, their name and number, and the stats on the back. Designing is free and can be redone as often as they like, so there is no way to get it wrong.
When they are happy with it, a parent redeems the gift card code into a free account and places the order. The amount comes off at checkout, shipping and tax included, and the finished card arrives in a magnetic display case.
What amount to choose
Think in cards, not dollars.
- $25: one card ($17.99) of their best photo, with money left toward shipping and tax
- $50: five cards ($31.99), one per highlight, with free US standard shipping on orders of $30 or more
- $75: a slab ($39.99) for the kid who collects, or a MEGA print ($49.99) for the bedroom wall
How to hand it over
Every gift card has its own page with a Print button. It prints on one sheet with the amount, your message and the code, so it can go inside a birthday card or a stocking. If you live far away, schedule the email to a parent for the morning of the day.
There is no rush to spend it. The credit never expires, so it can wait for the end of the season and the photo they are proudest of.
