Why Families Choose Ownstory for Easter

Unlike social media posts that get buried, your Easter story is private, permanent, and designed to be gifted. Plus, you can even pool money for a group gift card that gets delivered right to their 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.

Private link — only invited people can access
Hidden until reveal — surprise stays safe
Kept forever as a digital memory

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.

1
Friends chip in any amount

$5, $10, $50 — every bit counts

2

Apple Wallet or Google Wallet — tap to use

Messages + gift card together in one beautiful story. No separate apps needed.

We created an Easter story for my grandparents with messages from all 47 grandkids and great-grandkids around the country. When they revealed it after Easter dinner, my grandfather cried happy tears. He said it was the most meaningful gift he'd ever received.
