Why addSQUIRREL exists
So much of how we communicate now happens digitally.
We send voice notes, videos, photos and quick messages every day. But when it comes to cards, gifts, packaging and print, we are often still limited to what we can write down.
addSQUIRREL was created to bridge that gap.
It lets you add something more personal to a physical item, whether that is a birthday message, a wedding memory, a thank you, a product story or a branded customer experience.
About addSQUIRREL
Add video, photo or voice to the things people hold onto.
addSQUIRREL helps people and businesses add video, photo and voice messages to cards, gifts, weddings, packaging, business cards and printed materials using simple QR codes.
No app needed. Just scan, upload and share.
A card can hold a video message.
A gift can include someone’s voice.
A wedding favour can become a guest book.
A product box can tell the story behind the brand.
A business card can introduce the person behind it.
That is what addSQUIRREL was created to do - help physical things say more.
Add video, add photo, add you… addSQUIRREL
How it started
addSQUIRREL was founded by Jen Winnett, the artist and greetings card publisher behind Jen Winnett Art.
After years of designing and selling cards, including ranges stocked by well-loved organisations such as the National Trust and RSPB, Jen knew that people still loved giving something physical. But she also knew that sometimes words on paper are not enough.
What if a card could hold a video?
What if a gift could include someone’s voice?
What if packaging could introduce the person behind the product?
What if a business card could say hello before the follow-up email?
That idea became addSQUIRREL.

addSQUIRREL began with cards and gifts, but it has grown into something much bigger.
Today, it can be used for:

Whether it is a personal message or a business touchpoint, the goal is the same: To make the moment feel more human.
