Let’s be thankful it’s November? 🦃

So let’s get into all of the goodness that’s happened this month.

From ancient Egypt to the Persian Empire, an ingenious method of catching the breeze kept people cool for millennia. Now, it could come to our aid once again.

There is an elderly couple who live in Victoria, Australia. They went into a toy store and paid off 82 layaway balances to help struggling families.

With VidDay's mission to make a billion people smile, we are a start-up with a heart. We are harnessing the power of video to spread goodness across the globe.
VidDay brings people together by creating a meaningful gift all while staying eco-friendly. VidDay allows you to crowdsource video clips, photos, and text cards. So you can create a beautiful video gift that the recipient will cherish forever.
“What a great tool and value for money! Easy for contributors to use and make a video. Easy self-editing tool. Also fantastic live chat function for specific questions. I would definitely recommend VidDay!”
— Dean Cook
Not only is creating a VidDay more eco-friendly than purchasing a paper greeting card, but sustainability is at the core of our business. This is why for every video purchased, a portion of the profits goes to planting trees. With over 100,000 trees planted already, we are on our way to growing a forest.
We also understand how important words of encouragement can be during a difficult time. This is why we wanted to help people during their time in need, so we decided to offer Get Well videos for free.
That’s right, 100% free.
