Birth gift idea

A birth gift they will open at eighteen

In the first days, everyone gives the same things: clothes outgrown too fast, soft toys, flowers. What is missing is what you feel right now, that night — the part they will never be able to remember.

With Astria, you write, record or film that message today and seal it. It stays closed, invisible to everyone, until the date you choose — the morning of their eighteenth birthday, for instance. That day, they will discover who was waiting for them before they could even speak.

For their birth

The morning of their eighteenth birthday

The message

“You won't remember this room, or the lamp we kept on at night. But I want you to know what I thought the first time you held on to my finger…”

Why it is the right birth gift

It isn't meant for today

Birth gifts serve the first few months. This one waits for its moment: the one you have chosen for them.

It keeps a voice, not just words

Text, audio or video: in eighteen years, hearing their parents' voices on the day they were born will be worth more than any photo.

It never opens early

The message is sealed with a password you choose. Nobody can read it before the set date, not even out of curiosity.

What you might write

A few possible openings — yours will be better, because it will be yours.

Your questions

When will the message open?
On the exact date and time you set when sealing — the morning of their eighteenth birthday, for instance. Until then, it stays invisible to everyone.
Who keeps the password all those years?
You choose it when sealing, and you decide who to entrust it to: in an envelope with the family papers, with a godparent. On the day, the recipient enters that password and their Guardian's code in the free Sylorkey app.
What if the Guardian is lost before they turn eighteen?
The message stays sealed and protected by your password. As each Guardian is identified by a unique code, our support team can help you regain access to the message.
