A birthday card with a QR code: their year behind it
The card is the gift; the QR code on the back opens the rest. Add a video of the family singing, the year's best photos, and a note they'll find when they scan it. Every Cardbop card is a Living Card: the QR code printed on the back opens a page that belongs to that card.

Frequently asked questions
Can a birthday card have a QR code for a video?+
Yes. Every Cardbop card has a QR code on the back that opens its own page, where you can link a video from YouTube or Vimeo alongside photos and a note. The page doesn't host video files itself; you link one.
What's a good personalized birthday gift?+
A custom trading card of the birthday star — their photo, their age, and their favorite things as stats, with a message on the back. It's a keepsake they'll show off, for $29.99 a single or $49.99 for a 10-card Pack.

$29.99 for one Display Card and $49.99 for a 10-card Card Pack. Designing is free, and you can personalize one in minutes.

Their name, their age or birth year, a few fun stats, and a birthday message on the back — sweet or funny, your call.
