Task
An elf's job
A small mission for today: make someone happy, draw a picture, help set the table.
For kids
A little adventure every morning: the Sleigh Ride.
On the magical Sleigh Ride a present lands in the snow every day. Behind it is whatever you put in: an elf task, a riddle, a joke, a photo or a greeting from Grandma in her own voice. The children's template gives all 24 doors a start that you adapt.
€14.90 once per calendar VAT included (US: $14.90 plus sales tax).
Designing and previewing is free. You only pay when you send it.
Personal, not generic
Short, personal, every day.
One door a day is just right: a short moment of anticipation, then the day goes on. For children who cannot read yet, voice messages are ideal. Older children get riddles, a reindeer quiz and small tasks they do themselves.
Three ideas for your 24 doors
The beginning is often close at hand.
Three suggestions to fill with your own moments.

Quiz

A question with answer options. The child taps, the door reveals the answer.
18
Your voice
A bedtime story
A short story read by you or the grandparents and saved as a voice message.

Choose the Sleigh Ride in the first step. The children's template gives all 24 doors a start with little tasks, riddles, jokes and words of encouragement.
- Add your own moments
Edit the texts, choose photos, record a message. Review and save all 24 doors before you send the calendar.
- Unlock and send the link
After payment you get your gift link. The recipient opens it in the browser, without an app account.

The calendar is especially lovely when it comes from someone who is not there every day: grandparents, a godparent or a parent who is travelling. It is private, reachable only through its link, and contains no advertising.

How the children's calendar comes together
Choose the “Sleigh Ride” design when you create the calendar. The children's template is suggested automatically. Change names, tasks and vouchers, upload photos and record voice messages.
Designing and previewing are free; giving it costs €14.90 once (US: $14.90 plus sales tax). The child opens the calendar in the browser on a phone or tablet.
Good to know
Before you start.
What age is the Sleigh Ride for?
For children who cannot read yet, with voice messages and photos. For primary school children, with riddles, tasks and the quiz. You decide what goes behind every door.
Can my child peek ahead?
No. Each door opens only on its day, at midnight in the time zone of the device.
Does my child need an account or an app?
No. The calendar is a private link that opens in the browser.
How long can the calendar be opened?
Doors unlock daily from 1 to 24 December. Access lasts until 31 January of the following year (UTC). After that, the calendar and its media are deleted, so it is not a permanent photo archive.
How much does it cost to send?
Sending costs €14.90 once per calendar, VAT included; in the US it is $14.90 plus applicable sales tax. There is no subscription. You can design your calendar for free and look at the preview before you decide to buy.
