For a parent or grandparent

The best gift is helping them say it.

Many people want to leave something for their family but never get started. You can sit with them, set it up together, and then step back, so what they write stays theirs.

Set it up together, on their device

Sit beside them for half an hour. Create the account with their email, and let them choose the password. Print the recovery kit and put it with their important papers.

They keep the password, not you

Their messages are sealed with it. If you know it, you could read letters meant for your siblings, or for you. Better that you don’t.

Be their confirmer

They can name you as the person we ask if they stop checking in. You answer one yes-or-no question, and you never see their messages.

Handwriting counts

If typing is hard, they can write on paper and photograph each page, or record a short video. Letters can also be printed and mailed, even by certified mail.

Paying for them

Buy a gift below and you’ll get a code. When you set it up together, choose “I have a gift code” and their switch turns on. A gifted year doesn’t renew, so nobody is ever charged by surprise.
