Why Moms Love Ownstory Stories
Unlike social media posts that disappear in the feed, your Mother's Day story is private, permanent, and all about her. Plus, you can even pool money for a group gift card that gets delivered right to her phone.
Private & Permanent
This isn't social media. No public feeds, no algorithms, no strangers. Your story stays private — only people you invite can see it. And it lasts forever, not just 24 hours.
Not like Instagram stories that vanish, or Facebook posts anyone can see.
Group Gift Built In
Pool money from the group, and let the birthday person pick the gift card they actually want. No more guessing, no more duplicate gifts. Delivered straight to their mobile wallet.
$5, $10, $50 — every bit counts
Amazon, Uber Eats, Apple, Spotify & more
Apple Wallet or Google Wallet — tap to use
Messages + gift card together in one beautiful story. No separate apps needed.

“I created a Mother's Day story for my mom with contributions from her 4 kids, 12 grandchildren, and her sister from across the country. When she revealed it on Mother's Day morning, she cried happy tears for 20 minutes straight. She keeps going back to read it whenever she's having a tough day. Best gift we ever gave her.”
