One of GiftBird\u2019s goals is to spotlight and support emerging, diverse and talented artists \u2013 download<\/a> the app to explore. Available on iOS, desktop and viewable on Android.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has shown us how important relationships can be for mental and emotional health. The app offers customizable video recordings using personal photos and audio plus written messages for every occasion. GiftBird also has the capability to create friends and family \u201cgroup cards\u201d that allow every member of the group to record their own personalized video message and attach a customized written message. Users can also send gift cards from Sephora, Footlocker and many more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVisually I aspired to a look that was like a graphic novel with bold font and hand-drawn illustrations, but that was still elegant, artistic and emotionally impactful,\u201d<\/em> said Founder and CEO, Catherine Wang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of Black History Month, GiftBird will feature personal artwork from the app\u2019s illustrator, Isak Shah<\/a> on Instagram, Feb 22 \u2013  follow here<\/a> for the full story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an immersive experience for the recipient to watch something beautiful, artistic and truly original that captures the emotion of the occasion for which it is sent,\u201d<\/em> said Wang. \u201cThe idea is for the recipient to actually feel the happiness and joy of the event being celebrated by watching the video. Or for those small moments, the love and emotional connection that inspired the sender to send the card. And then to have those emotions compounded by seeing the face of the sender and hearing them verbalize those sentiments directly to them in their own words.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
