Diwali wishes they light up themselves

What they see when they open it

• A dark room and a single clay diya. They tap it.
• The flame spreads to every lamp along the floor, the lanterns glow, and fireworks go up behind your greeting.
• Your photos, up to four, in gold frames.
• Your wishes. Each one lights a diya of its own as they scroll.
• A patch of night sky. Every tap sends a rocket up from the ground to burst where they tapped.
• Your message, as a letter.

One page for everyone you want to greet

The page names nobody but you, so the same link works for your parents, your cousins abroad, your school group and your colleagues. It opens in any phone browser without installing anything.

Print the QR code on the card that goes with the sweets, and the box carries your wishes too.

Wishes worth writing yourself

• Something you hope for them this year, as specific as you can make it.
• A memory of a Diwali you spent together.
• The thing their home always has that yours does not.
• A promise to visit, with a date.
• A thank you that you have been meaning to say.

Send it at the right moment

Finish the page days before and schedule it to open on Diwali evening. Until then the link shows a countdown.

Afterwards, anyone the page is open to can turn it into a short video with the lamps and the fireworks in it, ready to post as a status.
