Quick answer

A digital gift card they can turn into a custom trading card of themselves. A Snapshot gift card is emailed as soon as you pay, or you can print its page at home and hand it over, so nothing has to ship in time. Amounts run from $10 to $500, and the credit never expires.

Key takeaways

  1. Nothing ships, so it cannot arrive late.
  2. Email it now, schedule it for the day, or print the page at home.
  3. Any whole-dollar amount from $10 to $500, with no fees.
  4. They turn it into a trading card of themselves when they have the right photo.
  5. If there is still time to ship, order the finished card instead.

Why digital beats rushed shipping

A late package is worse than no package. When the day is close, a gift that arrives by email takes the carrier out of the picture, and it is still a real gift when what it buys is personal.

A Snapshot gift card buys a trading card of the person holding it: their photo, their name and number, their stats on the back, printed on real card stock. They make it after the day, with a photo they choose.

Three ways to deliver it

Choose at checkout.

  • Email it to them now: it is sent as soon as you pay, with your message
  • Schedule it: pick a date up to a year ahead and it is emailed that morning
  • Print it: have it sent to you, open its page and press Print for a one-sheet gift card with the amount, your message, the code and a QR code

What they do with it

They open the gift card, redeem the code into a free account, and the full amount becomes Snapshot Credit. From there they upload a photo, pick a template and order. The credit comes off at checkout, shipping and tax included, and anything left stays in the account.

One card is $17.99, a slab is $39.99 and a MEGA print is $49.99, so $25, $50 and $75 are the amounts that map to one clear thing each.

If you still have time to ship

The finished card is the better surprise when it can arrive in time. Design it yourself with a photo you already have and ship it to their address. Transit time is quoted for the address at checkout, before you pay, so you will know whether it makes it.
