Everything for You

letters, flowers, a mixtape, your own voice, and a few stickers to mess it all up with

Write, fold, seal

Type it, or switch to "handwrite" and drag your mouse or finger across the paper like a pen. Pick a wax seal, set it to open on a certain date if you like, then fold.

Build a bouquet, stem by stem

Flowers are fetched live from Wikipedia. Click a leaf to pluck it, click a stem's photo to pick it up, drag it into place, tie it off, then set it in the vase.

If you want the real thing

  1. Strip the lower leaves off each stem so nothing sits below the waterline.
  2. Hold the tallest, sturdiest flower first and add the rest around it in a gentle spiral, turning the bunch as you go.
  3. Tuck greenery or filler flowers in the gaps for volume.
  4. Tie tightly with twine or ribbon at the point where all the stems cross.
  5. Trim the stems level, wrap in paper if you like, and stand it in water immediately.

A mixtape of open-source music

Tracks come live from Wikimedia Commons, Openverse, and the Internet Archive's open-licensed audio. Add a few to Side A, flip the format, press play.

SIDE A โ€” MADE WITH LOVE

๐Ÿ“บ From YouTube

Paste a link โ€” always works. "Search" tries a couple of public search mirrors and may occasionally be unavailable.

Side A tracklist

Nothing added yet โ€” browse tracks above.

Liner notes

Real voice notes

This actually records your microphone in your browser โ€” nothing is uploaded anywhere. Say something, then keep it or add it straight to the mixtape.

Photo album

Add your own photos โ€” they stay on this page only, styled like little polaroids. Give each one a caption.

Pixel stickers

Make your own

Tap any sticker below to drop it on the box lid, then drag it wherever you like.

Doodle pad

A little jsPaint-style canvas โ€” freehand draw, pick a colour and brush size, then save it as a downloadable PNG or drop it straight into your stickers.

Build your box

Bundle everything above โ€” letters, bouquet pick, tracklist, photos, stickers โ€” into one box, then share it or send it.

A recipe worth keeping

A little index card for a recipe that matters to the two of you.

Open when...

Little envelopes, each with a note tucked inside, labelled for the moment it's meant for.
