A small gesture from anywhere
Send a virtual hug
Sometimes you simply want someone to feel that you are thinking of them. A virtual hug turns a short personal message into a link you can share in about a minute.
What happens when you create a virtual hug?
What do you create?
You create a personal page with a message of up to 180 characters. Your name is optional, and you can choose whether it appears in the link.
A big hug for you. I hope this little message makes your day a little brighter.Use this message
What does the recipient see?
The link opens your message and the hug animation. No account is needed. Anyone the link is forwarded to can open it too.
A little warmth from me to you. Nothing to do, just a hug to receive.Use this message
How long does the hug last?
Choose 7 days, 30 days, 1 year or no expiry date. The default is 1 year. Keep the link if you want to open the hug again.

What is a virtual hug?

When can you send a digital hug?

Short message examples
“A big hug for you. I’m thinking of you.”
“A hug from afar. I hope this makes your day a little brighter.”
“No long message today — just a reminder that you matter to me.”
Make it personal
A short genuine sentence usually feels warmer than a generic quote. Mention a small detail that fits the person or the moment, and write the way you normally speak to them.
