Digital advent calendar
The digital advent calendar you fill yourself.
A giftcountdown digital advent calendar has 24 doors, and behind each one you place your own words, photos, videos, voice messages, vouchers or a small quiz. You give it as a private link. The recipient opens one door a day from 1 to 24 December in the browser, with no app and no account.
€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
Personal, with no parcel and no shipping.
A bought calendar is quick to get. One you make yourself tells a story: a photo from last summer, something you have meant to say for a long time, your voice on a grey December morning. Because the calendar is a link, it arrives on time, even across long distances. And if you give it after 1 December, nothing is missed: earlier doors can still be opened.

Before you start.
What is a digital advent calendar?
A digital advent calendar is an advent calendar in the browser: 24 doors that open one by one from 1 to 24 December. With giftcountdown you fill them yourself with messages, photos, videos, voice messages, vouchers or quiz questions and give the calendar as a private link.
Does the recipient need an app or an account?
No. They open the gift link in the browser on a phone, tablet or computer. No app installation and no account are needed, only an internet connection.
What can I put behind the doors?
Personal messages, your own photos and videos, voice messages recorded in the browser, vouchers for time together, links to songs or gifts and small quiz questions. You can mix them freely; it does not have to be 24 photos.
Can I still give the calendar after 1 December?
Yes. If you give it during December, the recipient can open the doors of the days that have passed and then continue day by day. There is no shipping, because the calendar is a link.
Who can see the calendar?
Only people who have the gift link. The calendar is not a public page and does not appear in search engines, so share the link only with the people it is meant for.
Can I try it before I pay?
Yes. A finished example calendar opens without signing in, and you can design your own calendar for free and look at it in the preview. You only pay when you send it.
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.
