Gift NEW Email Address & Fill with Surprise Messages
Whether you set up a FREE Gmail or easily add on email@newdomain.com, another way of taking this to the next level is to share that new email; address with everyone except the future owner.
For example, you could set up graduation@babyname.com and encourage family to send yearly messages and media to this email address. It will make quite the unboxing experience for your child’s graduation gift!
