Christmas gifts for grandparents
A photo book, calendar, ornament or mug where every photo of the grandkids plays its own video or voice message. Grandma points her phone at the picture and hears them laugh, sing or say “I love you.” No app to install. You make it on popcode.app, and we print it and ship it, straight to them if you like.
Try it free with one of your own photos →Your first five Popcodes are free. No card needed.
Every one of these can play video or voice. Prices are on each product’s page in the Shop.
Twelve photos of the grandkids, one a month, each one playing its own video. A new one to watch every month of the year.
A layflat book of the year’s best moments: birthdays, first steps, the school play, all playing on the page.
One photo on a ceramic ornament that plays a message from the kids. On the tree every Christmas.
Also: photo mugs for the morning coffee, framed prints, and board books the grandkids can read with them. See everything in the Shop →
You do the making. They just point their phone.
Lay out a calendar or photo book in your browser, or choose one photo for an ornament or mug.
Link a clip from your phone to each photo, or have the kids record a voice message.
To you or straight to the grandparents, with its own short address, like popcode.app/love-from-us, printed on it.
They open that address in their phone’s browser and point it at a photo. The video plays. Nothing to install.
No app. Any recent iPhone or Android phone with a camera and a web browser works. They open the short popcode.app address printed on the gift, allow the camera, and point it at a photo.
There is one step to remember: open the address printed on the gift and point the phone at a photo. If you can, show them once in person, or on a video call when the gift arrives. After that the address can live in their phone as a bookmark.
Yes. Any photo can play a video clip or an audio recording, like the kids saying good night or singing a song.
Yes. The printed gift stays the same, but you can change what any photo plays from your Popcode account at any time. A calendar photo can play something new each month.
You pay for the printed gift. The videos linked to anything you buy from the Popcode Shop are free and unlimited. Each product page shows its starting price, and shipping is added at checkout.
Yes. Enter their address at checkout. Popcode ships to addresses across the United States.
Everything is printed to order. A single ornament or mug is quick to make; a photo book or calendar takes longer to put together and to print, so start those first and order early in December.
Every Popcode comes with five years of hosting from the day you make it. Before that runs out, Popcode emails you so you can renew it or download your photos and videos.
A calendar or book takes an evening. An ornament or mug takes a few minutes.
