How Nook Notes work
A gift they can open twice.
The gift is only part of the story.
With a Nook Note, you can add a private video, message or memory to a gift from Maker's Nook.
Your Nook Note is connected to a QR code that travels with the gift. When the person receiving it scans the code, your message is waiting for them.
A little something they won't see coming.
You choose the gift.
We help you hide something personal inside it.
A birthday message. A thank you. A memory. Something you couldn't quite fit onto a card.
The QR code doesn't replace the gift.
It gives the gift another moment.
From you to them.
Find something made for them
Browse Maker's Nook and choose a piece from one of our independent makers.
Something made by a real person, for someone who matters to you.
Add your Nook Note
After purchasing your gift, create the personal Nook Note you want to send with it.
Add your message, video or memory and submit it to Maker's Nook.
We connect it to the gift
Your Nook Note is reviewed and connected to a unique Maker's Nook QR code.
The Maker preparing your order receives the QR information needed for your gift.
They scan. You're there.
When the gift arrives, the recipient scans the QR code with their phone.
Your Nook Note opens.
One gift. Two moments.
What can I put in a Nook Note?
Whatever helps make the gift feel like it came from you.
Say it
Write the message you would have put inside the card — or the one that needed a little more space.
Show it
Send a personal video so they can see and hear you when they open their gift.
Share it
Add a memory that gives the gift another meaning — something between the two of you.
It doesn't need to be polished.
It needs to be personal.
No app. Just scan.
The person receiving your gift doesn't need a Maker's Nook account or a special app.
They simply scan the QR code using their phone. The code opens the Nook Note connected to their gift.
Made by someone. Chosen by you.
There are two people behind every Nook Note gift.
That's what makes gifting through Maker's Nook different.
You aren't choosing something from an endless warehouse.
You're choosing something made by an independent Maker and adding something that could only have come from you.
Keep the surprise.
The Nook Note stays behind the QR code until the person receiving the gift chooses to scan it.
So the message doesn't have to arrive before the present.
It arrives with it.
What happens after I send my Nook Note?
Once you've submitted your Nook Note, Maker's Nook takes care of connecting it to the gift process.
Your Nook Note is reviewed before being linked to the QR code that accompanies your order.
The QR code is linked to your specific order.
The Maker then prepares your gift with the correct QR code.
When it arrives, all that's left is the scan.
Give them something made. And something only you could add.
Find a gift made by an independent Maker. Add your Nook Note. Let them discover the rest.
