E-gifts, personalised wishes and songs become the norm during coronavirus lockdown

Bengaluru: The ‘happy birthdays' and ‘congratulations' ring loud and clear, glasses clink to say cheers and the home-baked cake is often yum too. It's a party alright but a distinctly surreal one with family and friends reduced to little squares on screens, cheering the online celebrations along.

So, there's no one to smear cake on the birthday girl's face and promises instead of gifts as every guest is kept at a ‘you-can-see-but-can't-touch' distance. However, Ferns N Petals has made it a point to make birthdays and celebrations a bit more special amid the lockdown. The company has introduced digital gifting options such as guitarist on video call, personalised video message and personalized e-story books and more. They have been recording custom wishes/songs and their demand has been increasing with each passing day. Take a look at how they are sending across wishes and messages to loved ones.
