A gift they have not been given before
A printed calendar with a short video on every month — a personal gift for parents, grandparents, partners, and a year you want on the wall or desk.
What it is
Rewindal is a printed calendar you design online. Each month is a short video. We print it and ship it. The person who receives it scans the QR code on the page and watches — no app, no login, no link that gets buried in a chat. It lives on a wall or a desk for the year.
Is this the gift?
- You want something they can touch, not another album link.
- They will enjoy a calendar in the room all year.
- A birthday, an anniversary, a holiday, a first year, or a year you want on the wall.
Situations
A 70th birthday
Mara & Sofia
Mara put a year of family videos on a wall calendar. Sofia scans January. The kids wave. She never installs anything.
An anniversary
James
A desk calendar for the person who lives at that table. Travel months, a recorded note, one scan when they want the clip.
A first year
Elena & Tom
Twelve months of a baby’s first year, hung where grandparents walk past. The still is the month. The video is the memory.
After the year
Uncle Dan
On some formats the months tear off. When the year is done, the pages can live in a photo album.
The same object works for a year you keep yourself, or for family who live apart — one calendar in their house, no shared album to join. Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Christmas, New Year, graduation, retirement: the occasion is the year you choose to put on the months.
Compared with gifts people already know
- Photo book
- Beautiful, and it stays on a shelf. Rewindal stays in the room, and the months play.
- Digital frame
- Another screen, always on. This is paper. A calendar ritual, not an appliance.
- A shared album link
- They need the account, or the app, or the patience to find the thread. This is the gift on the wall.
- One long video
- A montage is one sitting. A calendar is twelve months they can return to.
Questions people ask
What is Rewindal?
Rewindal is a printed calendar for the wall or the desk. Each month is a short video. We print and ship the calendar. The person who receives it scans a QR code on the page and watches on their phone. They do not install an app.
Is Rewindal a good gift?
It is a good gift when you want something physical and personal — a birthday, an anniversary, a holiday, a first year, a year you want on the wall.
Does the recipient need an app?
No. They scan the QR code printed on the month and point the phone at the picture. You are the one who makes the calendar on the Rewindal site.
How does the video work on paper?
Each printed month has a QR code. They scan it, then point the phone at the picture, and that month’s video plays. The page in the box explains it in plain language.
Can I leave a personal message?
Yes. While you make the calendar you can record a message — the kind of thing you would say if you were handing it over in the room.
What formats are there?
Wall and desk calendars: a wall booklet, a wall spiral, a desk spiral, and a desk clip. On some formats the months tear off, so the pages can go in a photo album when the year is over.
Can I preview before I pay?
Yes. You preview the calendar on your phone in the create flow before checkout.
Is it only for New Year?
No. People make them for birthdays, anniversaries, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, a baby’s first year, a wedding year, graduation, or a year they want to keep for themselves.
How is this different from a photo book?
A photo book is beautiful and still. Rewindal is a calendar that stays in the room all year, and each month can play. It is also not a digital frame, and not a link to a shared album.
