Birthday gift for Dad
Not socks. A film from everyone who knows him.
Dads do not ask for things and do not talk about feelings. So let everyone else do it for a minute each, and let him watch it on his own.
Buying for Dad is a yearly guess: a bottle, a book, a gadget he already has. The one thing he does not have is his children, his grandchildren, his brothers and his oldest mates saying what he has meant to them. He would never ask for it. A film gets it done: one link from you, a minute each on their phones, and Warmcut makes the film. Watch it free before you pay.

Ideas to send with your link. Each person picks one or just says what they like. All optional.
- The thing he taught you that you still use

- What you have never said to him
Why Dad, in particular
Fathers get thanked less and mean it more. A film gives him everyone at once, in their own words, with no awkward moment across a table. The mates from the cricket club or the first job add the stories the family has never heard. He will watch it alone, say it was good, and then watch it again.
Who usually organises it
One of the children, sometimes with Mum. You send the link to the family, his brothers, and the friends he actually talks to. No app, no account, so his mates manage it in a minute. Warmcut trims the pauses, levels every voice, puts the messages in story order and adds music and captions.
How to give it to him
Not in front of a crowd, unless he is that sort of dad. Send him the link, or hand him the phone after breakfast and leave the room. Pay once to remove the watermark, share the private link and download it so it is his to keep.
Other ideas
Honest alternatives. A film is not always the answer.
A film from everyone (Warmcut)
Best for a dad who says he needs nothing and a family who do not say things out loud. From US$19. Give it to him alone.
Doing something together
A game, a fishing trip, a long lunch. What he wants, with the people who can be there. The film brings the ones who cannot.
The thing he keeps mentioning
The tool, the record, the bottle. Reliable, and he will use it. It does not say what his children think of him.
A book about his team, his war, his car
He will read it. It has nothing of him in it.
