You've been reading the same gift guides everyone else is reading. The cologne. The hoodie. The Nintendo thing. Some kind of personalized whiskey set.
Here's what you actually know about him: the songs he replays in his car. The album he always picks when he's making dinner. The artist he saw live three times before you met.
MIXCARD prints a Spotify playlist as a real card. You make the playlist — the one for him, the one of him, the one that sounds like the year you two have had — and we mail it to his apartment in about a week. He'll lean it on the desk. He'll show his roommate. The hoodie, meanwhile, would have been fine.
What makes this card different
It outlasts the cake
The cake is gone Saturday. The card is on his desk in March. A birthday gift that still does something three months later is doing more work than a hoodie.
It says you've been listening all year
He mentions a band in passing. You quietly add three of their songs. Eight months later he gets a card with that band on it. That kind of attention is the actual gift.
It's an object his apartment looks better with
Most birthday gifts go in a drawer. A card on the desk fits the visual logic of a room a 27-year-old guy actually lives in. He'll keep it because it doesn't ask him to.
Where to start
Songs of the year you turned [age]
The albums that came out, the ones he played in the car, the ones you played him. His year as a track list.
His top artists, by you
Your version of his canon. The deep cuts you'd pick from each artist he's into.
Our private mixtape
The one no one else gets the full context of. The one you'd never put on at a party.

Common questions
How long does it take?▼
About a week. We print and ship in 1-2 business days, USPS takes 3-5 more. Order at least a week before the birthday.
His birthday is in three days. Is that doable?▼
Probably tight. Sometimes it makes it. If not, a card a few days late with a note that says 'this is what I was making you' lands fine.
What if I don't have a playlist already?▼
Make a quick one. Twenty songs, ten minutes in Spotify. Most of the buyers we see are building it the night they order.
Is it good as a standalone gift?▼
For year one or two together, yes. For longer relationships, plenty of people pair it with something else — but the card is what he keeps.
