The Winter Village: a place for your advent moments.

Personal, not generic

Distance leaves room for your own rituals.

A greeting before a busy day. A picture from your last visit. An invitation to a conversation you make time for. Your calendar does not need to invent shared experiences: it can be filled with small things that already connect you or that you are looking forward to.

Three ideas for your 24 doors

The beginning is often close at hand.

Three suggestions to fill with your own moments.

02

Your memory

A picture from your last visit

Upload one of your own photos and tell what you remember about it. A small detail is often more personal than a long text.

07

Your voice

With you for a moment

Record a warm greeting the other person can listen to during their day. A recording is there even when a spontaneous call does not fit.

13

Your plan together

An evening on two sofas

Give time for a video call, a film you chose together or a conversation without distractions. You set the time and date together.

What makes giftcountdown different

More than 24 photos behind doors.

From you. For one person.

How it becomes your gift.

  1. Start with a template

    Choose a design and start with the partner template or an empty calendar.

  2. Add your own moments

    Edit the texts, choose photos, record a message. Review and save all 24 doors before you send the calendar.

  3. Unlock and send the link

    After payment you get your gift link. The recipient opens it in the browser, without an app account.

Sent as a link. Opened in their own rhythm.

You design the calendar in the browser and review all 24 doors before you send it. After unlocking it you get the gift link. The recipient needs neither an account nor an installed app. Doors unlock daily from 1 to 24 December in the time zone of their device. Doors that have already passed can be opened later.

Good to know

Before you start.

Does it work across different time zones?

Yes. The daily unlock follows the time zone of the device the calendar is opened on. If you arrange a call or a meeting, it helps to write the shared time explicitly in your message.

Does the recipient need to install anything?

No. They open the gift link in the browser. No app account is needed to receive the calendar. An internet connection is required.

Can I fill the doors after sending the calendar?

All 24 doors must be reviewed and saved before you send it, so the other person receives a finished calendar. You can use the preview at any time while designing, without paying first.

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.
