Yes, we are certainly biased, but speaking on behalf of our VidDay Team, we can all say that we are beyond passionate about spreading happiness and joy to the world, one video moment at a time.
So here are our top 3 ways to package your video gift because our grandparents still like to hold a tangible gift in their hands.
Elevate Your Video Gifts with Customized DVD and USB Case Covers
Get ready for some serious fun! When it comes to video gifts, personalized covers for DVDs and USBs take the excitement to a whole new level.
Picture this: you wrap it up in a gift box with vibrant, festive paper, hand it over to the lucky recipient, and brace yourself for their epic, jaw-dropping reaction. It's like watching a fireworks display of joy and surprise!
With VidDay, you have the choice to request a personalized DVD or USB as a memorable memento.
It's a straightforward process - the cover is automatically customized with the recipient's photo, name, and the occasion. Just place your order and enjoy a unique design for each special event. It's truly an easy and personalized way to package a video gift as a DVD or USB.
Wooden or Earth-Friendly Gift Box With a Card and USB
This one is my personal favorite since I like things made out of wood. Simply visit your local craft or dollar store to find a wooden box to fill it with cardboard stuffing, a USB flash drive (a.k.a. memory stick), a simple greeting card, and tissue paper.
How to turn a video into a gift? - You can write a nice little personal message on the card, and if you want to get as fancy like me, you can engrave the words "We Love You" on the lid of the box. Another idea is to use a wood stain to make designs or hearts.
Or, if you prefer to buy a pre-made handcrafted box, we suggest Rice Studio Supplies or Hanging Branch. All said and done —this makes for a pretty unique video gift. Much better than just clicking a link.
Video gift idea: Do-It-Yourself DVD Cover or Label
Transferring or burning your VidDay video to a DVD isn’t hard at all. If you are on an Apple computer using this tutorial and if you are on a Windows computer, try this tutorial.
Once you have the DVD ready, there are a few different ways to go about decorating it. If you don't already have these items around your home, you can visit a craft or dollar store and get some neat and inexpensive materials. My daughter was super excited to take out her markers once we showed her what she could decorate. She drew all sorts of fun designs and messages on the DVD top.
While turning a video into a gift this way, keep in mind to use a soft-tipped sharpie or marker so that it won't scratch the disk. For the pouch or sleeve of the disc, we used an empty Kleenex box with some fancy print. We flattened out the box and folded it in half. Then, we cut it into a square, half an inch larger than the DVD. Finally, I taped the edges together, and that was it!
We wrote a cute family message on the box, and the kids finished by decorating that too. I suppose you could reverse the cardboard and have the printed design on the outside as well. Have fun with it!
LCD Screen Greeting Card for a Video
A video screen in a card! I know, right?! I was completely blown away and amazed when our Co-founder, Denis, showed us this possibility. There are a few companies online like Big Dawgs Greetings that offer LCD Greeting Cards. The screens are nearly paper-thin and placed inside a greeting card. Prices for these vary depending on the size of the screen. You can likely save on buying a few at once. That way, you have a stash for future special occasions.
These cool cards come with easy instructions on how to load your group video gift. You can write a little message to the recipient, and there you have it, a state-of-the-art gift!
It makes you wonder what's next. Hologram cards?
