Abstract: The present disclosure and related inventions describe a system and method by which gift cards may be user-activated and assigned value using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). The user-activated gift card contains an RFID chip embedded therein that works in conjunction with a mobile website or mobile app to allow users to activate and assign value to the gift card at any time and at any place.

Abstract: A greeting card having a mobile object releasably attached thereto. The mobile object may be shaped like a character or object with one or more wheels at a bottom surface thereof. The mobile object may be removed from the greeting card and set upright onto a surface. Activating a motor module within the mobile object causes the one or more wheels to rotate, setting the mobile object rolling along said surface.

Abstract: A method includes forming a card having a top surface, a bottom surface opposite the top surface, and a decal removably attached to the bottom surface, the decal including a first unique identifier. The method also includes removably attaching a bottom surface of a token to the top surface of the card, the bottom surface of the token including a second unique identifier operable to provide access to a digital gift. The method further includes removing the decal from the card, attaching the decal to a base of packaging configured to retain the token and the card, and disposing the card and the token within the packaging such that at least the token is removably retained by the packaging and the second unique identifier is inaccessible.

Abstract: A method includes causing a plurality of gift provider options to be provided via a display, receiving a first input indicative of a selection of a gift provider, causing, a plurality of gift values to be provided via the display, receiving a second input indicative of a selection of a desired gift value, requesting payment information corresponding to at least the desired gift value, and receiving a third input including payment information indicative of the desired gift value. The method also includes receiving a unique value code corresponding to the gift provider from a remote processing center, wherein the desired gift value is redeemable from the gift provider using the value code. The method further includes causing a printer to print the unique value code on one of a greeting card or giftable item separate from the greeting card.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to various embodiments of a greeting card having at least one motor attached to a mechanism which causes movement to a mobile object and one or more attachments suspended from the mobile object. The mobile object may be a circular disc, a string or a swing structure. Each mobile object contains one or more attachments either attached directly thereto or suspended therefrom via a string or line. The motor may effect various movements in the mobile object such as circular motion, back-and-forth motion or bouncing or vibrating motion.

Abstract: A token provides the recipient with access to gifted content. Upon activation and redemption of the token, the recipient may be gain access to a gift, and the gift can take various forms. Some gifts may be electronic, while others may be physical in nature. Physical gifts, such as subscription-based gifts are not physically present at the time of giving. The token is pre-packaged in a fun gift packaging, making the gifting and unwrapping experience more meaningful.

Abstract: The motorized gift package accessory of the present disclosure and related inventions include a base portion, which can be attached, adhesively or otherwise, to a gift package, such as a gift box. An accessory portion is attached to the base portion and contains one or more mobile elements which can be set in motion by a small or miniature motor. User interaction with the motorized gift package accessory is required to initiate the motor which in turn effects movement of the one or more mobile elements.

Abstract: Electronic greeting cards include a greeting card with two or more interconnected panels in combination with a digital multimedia player device which includes an electronic display and an audio output, and circuitry which is operative to receive, store and play digital multimedia files and content. The various greeting card structures cover and encapsulate or otherwise house and adorn the digital multimedia player. Digital files are loaded on to the digital multimedia player by a connection to a network, or directly from a data storage device such as an SD card or USB connection or compact flash which interfaces with a port in the digital multimedia player. Pre-recorded digital multimedia greeting card content is either pre-loaded on a portable data storage device, or selected for purchase and downloaded or transferred for replay by the digital multimedia player of the electronic greeting card.
