Birthday gift for Mum
The present Mum cannot buy herself.
She says she wants nothing. She means she wants you. This is you, your siblings, her grandchildren and her friends, each saying a minute of what she means to you.
Mums are the hardest to buy for because they have spent their lives not asking. Flowers, a candle, a voucher, every year. A film is different. Her children, wherever they live, her grandchildren, her sister, the friend from the school gate thirty years ago, each with a minute on their phone. You send one link and Warmcut makes the film. Watch it free before you pay.

- Something she did for you that she thinks you never noticed

Why Mum, in particular
Mothers hear thanks in passing and rarely all at once. A film gives her every one of you, in your own words, saying the things that do not get said across a kitchen table. Grandchildren are the best part: a four-year-old explaining what Grandma is good at, unscripted, is the clip she will play to her friends.
Who usually organises it
One of the children, often the one who lives furthest away and feels it. You send the link to your siblings, the grandchildren’s parents, her sisters and her friends. No app, no account, so her friends manage it alone. Warmcut trims the pauses, levels every voice, puts the messages in story order and adds music and captions.
How to give it to her
Alone, first. Send the link in the morning so she watches it in her own time, or sit with her and press play. Then play it again at lunch. Pay once to remove the watermark, share the private link and download it so she has it for good.
Other ideas
Honest alternatives. A film is not always the answer.
A film from all of you (Warmcut)
Best for a mum who wants nothing and children who live apart. From US$19. If she is shy, give it to her alone rather than at the table.
Time with her
A lunch, a walk, a day out. What she wants most, and only the people who are there. The film is how the rest of you come too.
Flowers, a candle, a scarf
Fine, and she will say thank you. She has had them every year.
A photo book
She will love it. It takes weeks to make and it has no voices.

Is this a good birthday gift for a mum who says she wants nothing?
It is the gift for exactly that mum. It is not a thing. It is her people saying what she means to them.

Yes. The link works on any phone anywhere. Nobody needs an app or an account.
What if Mum is not good with phones?
You send her a link; she taps it and the film plays. Or download it and play it on the TV.
